Even the 729$ Legion Go looks like a good deal compared to the Switch 2.

The display supports 1080p+120hz, games running at that res and fps will be rare I imagine. I mean, it would be amazing but Xbox also supports 4k 120 and it usually runs Up to 1440p upscaled 30fps so idk how much it will really differ from what we've already got.

I'm always 2-3 years behind on new consoles for this very reason.

Hell, at least I can use my steam deck as a mini PC and SSH into the thing, as well as use a mouse and full fuckin keyboard with my cheap off brand dock.

"Mouse mode"

Yeah, the Steam Deck has that. Its called dual touchpads, and unlike the Switch 2 you can easily switch from analog stick to touchpad (they also have more functionality and are actually utilized to their full potential with desktop mode).

Couldn't you just use Yuzu and pirate games - on the steamdeck?

It's Switch 2 games we're talking about here...

Switch 2: emulation boogaloo

I genuinely believe a primary driving factor for the switch 2 was to hinder emulation of new releases. I don't remember any of this but I think my friend said TOTK was available on bad websites a week before the official release. But I wouldn't know.

Whenever there's a multiplatform game I'm interested in I add it to my wishlist on the Switch, PS5 and Deck. I almost always end up buying it off Steam because it ends up being cheaper on it. So the Switch and PS5 have been reduced for exclusives only.
