Pikmin 4 just dropped. Super fun! I don't know where else you'd play that. I haven't even had time to touch LOZ TOTK, but that's life stuff. There's plenty to play on Switch. And there's reason to play on the lighter package as well.
Play pikmin 4 and totk on the steam deck. Its hilarious that one of the top 3 consoles is emulated on a pc with integrated graphics.
Right. But that argument assumes you just don't want to spend money. I didn't assume that. It's weird you'd go out of your way not to support those that make the games, and be proud of that.
Not necessarily, you could buy a copy but then play it via emulation for the better* experience.
*assuming the specific game doesn’t have too many issues running on emulation.
Supposedly that's what Linus from LTT does.
Because it's a mobile console with 10 year old hardware? Of course a new desktop PC is going to have better graphics than a very old mobile console, even talking about integrated graphics, because the Tegra X1 has integrated graphics as well.
The X1 was obsolete and underpowered when Nintendo chose it.
It was underpowered when the Switch released, yes, but I'd wager that it was a good choice for the application when Nintendo started designing the Switch. Couple that with the (not unreasonable IMO) expectation that there would be successors to the X1 that they could hypothetically put into the Switch and release a higher-perf revision with minimal changes, I can see why they chose it. Unfortunately, Nvidia dropped the X1 line and that (again, purely speculative) scenario never manifested.
