I think I might just get a steamdeck. Which afaik allows you to emulate nintendo games as well...

Its not like Nintendo is gonna release a new and (good) F-Zero

i have one of the older models of steamdeck and it emulates most switch games pretty well. the more recent ones can run a bit crap and certain games that run bad on the switch already (like animal crossing new horizons) also run bad on the steamdeck

so if u get a newer one it'd probably be as good as an actual switch lol. i highly recommend it. mine is only starting to show mild wear and tear now and ive been using it for 1-5 hours everyday for the last 3 years

The hardware of the new steamdeck revision is almost identical, I think it’s just a die shrink and oled screens generate a bit less heat. So generally the improvements would be in battery life, with some very situational performance improvements (basically anywhere clocks drop due to thermal throttling).

yea it's a pretty marginal upgrade in terms of real performance. excited for future models though

I have some performance issues with certain Switch games on my Steam Deck OLED for sure. Sometimes switching between Ryujinx vs Yuzu helps but not always

Not to encourage you to buy a switch, but FZ99 is really fucking good
