Not paying. : pcmasterrace

I think the last Nintendo game I payed for was animal crossing new horizons. Yea, I'll be alright with my back catalog and the occasional indie game that costs less than 20$. All I wanted was another punch-out but I played the "Big Boy Boxing" demo and it was pretty fun, so I will not be buying a switch 2 any time soon if at all.

I would just like to remind everyone that Nintendo was predatory when EA and Activision were the good(ish) guys.

Dont at me.

Steam deck is also backwards compatible with nearly all of Nintendo.

Something tells me that the Deck will be compatible with "way more" than old games in the near future... Some times an emulator goes down, and two or more rise up.

Nintendo games never come down in price either.

BotW is still going for what it did on day one. Even second hand copies go for nearly that.

Although it does mean you can basically rent them for as long as you want for a few dollars if you sell it again afterwards...

All this has done is make me want a steam deck even harder.

I have a steam deck oled and love it, but the SOC is slightly old now and was never the fastest. If you're playing slightly older games or are fine with slightly lower settings, than it's still great.

SteamOS is great, but I think you can install it on other handhelds as well. It sounds like current competition isn't great unless you're willing to pay a bit more and the steam deck 2 isn't rumored to come out soon, so the steam deck is probably still worth purchasing tho.

I don’t get all the hate for Nintendo. Sure they’re expensive but they’re an OG games company largely acting like one. None of that freemium always-online microtransaction bullshit. Look at the Mario Kart expansion pack, it doubles the number of courses you get. It literally doubles the size of the game, and it’s not even that expensive. Plus they still support physical cartridges which most companies are trying to get rid of (and user expandable storage).

My counter: Metroid Prime 4. I would sell everything I own. It's been almost 9 years

This basically makes having gone through the end of COVID-19 worth it
