get the deck, I've had mine for 2 years now and still like it, taking it with me to visit family this summer
switch 2 is certainly nice but if you already have a back catalog deck makes a lot more sense

Even if you're a Nintendo fan the Deck is a far better system.
The only reason to get a S2 is if you for whatever reason still care about modern Nintendo and the crap they put out.

None. They can't be played comfortably while lying down and if you are sitting just use you gaming PC. The only point of these things is to play games while away from home but no one of us does that.

Deck is a PC. And give a real reason for your answer instead of just being a shill because right now MKW is ass and DK is looking embarrassing while modern Nintendo seems to have nothing but contempt for their consumers.

The Deck is certainly showing its age with newer AAA, but the amount of new and old games you can play, thanks to trackpads and button customization, is incredible

Stop fooling yourself.
There are plenty of games that already have to run at shit settings to even be playable.
it's simply a weak soc at this point.
I'm sure we will get a deck 2 announcement not that long from now but until then, future proof is not a selling point for the deck.

the main benefit to the 'eck I barely see people mention is having a dedicated device you always have a game open on. Being able to suspend most games and put it to sleep is a game changer for actually playing through my backlog. Makes the experience much smoother than on a normal PC. Your brain just goes to gaming mode and I'm not tempted to open a browser listen to a podcast or whatever like on PC.

People say the Steam Deck is showing its age, but I don't know, when I see comparisons to it, the Switch, and the Switch 2, it still looks impressive. The Switch 2 may have better resolution due to DLSS but the Steam Deck seems like it can hold its own until at least 2027. Switch 2 vs Steam Deck 2 will be no competition as the Deck 2 should be able to outperform the Switch 2.

Being a brand loyal reject shows how either low IQ you are or how poor you are because you're too good to get both.

The Steam Deck is too weak to function as a "portable gaming console", and too bulky to have as a portable emulation machine. I loved my Deck OLED (limited edition version, mind you) when I had it but I found myself reaching for my Odin 2 when I wanted to play emulated games or my Switch when I wanted to play more modern games. There's nothing appealing to me about trying to play Sekiro at low settings and 40 FPS on a gigantic, heavy "handheld" device.

Steam deck is slow as shit. Any release from the last 5 years that isnt indie wont run on it without major comprises. Say what you will bout the switch but at least (most) games for it were designed with it in mind. Plus backwards compatible so the onces made for switch that shouldnt of work better. Used switch games are dirt cheap too. Problem is good luck getting a switch 2. Demand is too high and supply is gone. I say switch if you can find one. Good luck

Deck 2 won't be for a while still. If you're already in the pc ecosystem then the deck is a great choice since you won't have to double dip. Streaming AAA from your computer with Apollo and moonlight is super comfy too if your router is up to it

People judge the deck by much harsher pc standards, so you have to keep that in mind. There's very few games the deck cannot run, but when some people with say anything less than 60 is utterly unplayable, you get the narrative that it can't run any modern games. Add in the constant fudposting and it just perpetuates.

Wouldn't have said it like you did, but this is the correct answer. The only reason to get a Switch 2 is if you really really like current day Nintendo's offerings for games. If you don't care much about them, there is no reason to get the Switch 2 over Steamdeck OLED. Or really any of the other handheld PCs.

Actually, I will say that if you don't want to emulate or if you have no other means at all to play their older games, you can pay $20 a year for NES, SNES, and OG Gameboy games. Not all of them obviously, but a good amount of the hits. Paying $50 a year gets you N64, Sega Genesis and Gamecube where Gamecube is Switch 2 exclusive. Only 4 games on that one right now and both N64 and Genesis are basically stagnant, but it's there.

I remember reading quite a few times how Gamecube games being on NSO and being able to play games like Soul Calibur 2 online (even if the online is hog ass) was just enough to push them over to getting a Switch 2. Some also said that if Nintendo somehow got Dreamcast on NSO then that would get them to buy one.

switch at least I understand on some level since it's the ONLY nintendo console, but the deck is perplexing to me, what is the use case for it exactly? for the same money you can get last intel macbook with 5600m that is 1.5 times faster and has a much better utility

I would perhaps consider switch 2 as a fun thing for kids but with the game price economics, weak perf for multiplats due to 10/8nm soc which has bad implications for battery life, and battery is 50% of steam deck size for some fucking reason its super unappealing.

Then the reviews shitting on sw2 display came out and I wouldn't want people I like to suffer from headaches watching that blurfest.

the point is if you have to put the deck in a backpack anyway, then why the fuck wouldn't you just lug around a full laptop that is way more versatile and respectable than a gayming device, and by the way doesn't even need a hard case due to absolutely unique patented clamshell design

Deck obviously. Only a retarded fanboy would buy a Switch 2 right now.
Wait for a hardware revision, maybe even modchips

Do you want to play mario kart or do you want to play every game ever made sans a few exceptions? If you want a switch you're a tendie and there's no point asking the question.

Yeah that was kind of my thought. Sounds like the Deck is the winner. If Nintendo had released the Switch 2 with OLED it would have been a different story. But I'll wait until the OLED Switch 2 is inevitably released.

I think the breadth of games you can emulate makes it worth it alone. Get the OLED if you can it's nice.

No it wouldn't.
Deck has unlimited amount of games. Better emulators than official hardware and all the chinkhelds. Grade A screen.
Switch 2 has 1 game. And that's a fucking party racer. And it's shit.

Steam Deck 2 is supposed to at least be talked about within a year or two according to what Valve said back in 2024 so it's better to wait for that and make your decision on if you want a Steam Deck at that point since right now it's been long enough that it's better to wait for the refresh. If you want it for backlogs or emulation that's fine, but we're at a point where we're close enough to a new announcement it's better to be patient.

Switch 2 will have exclusives for the foreseeable future and when an OLED happens that's still at least two if not three years out. The question is if you have enough Switch 1 games that would benefit from the framerate benefits and/or have at least around three or four games you want on the new system.

I am personally waiting on the SD2 to come out and will be picking up a Switch 2 in a couple months or so since I'm in no rush for it yet. The Pokemon upgrades alone are enough to sell me on it but as a system currently it only has the better version of MP4, DK, and MKW. Even then MKW in my opinion looks worse as a whole compared to MK8D.

First see how well the Metroid Prime 4 Switch 2 version compares to the Switch 1 version. If the difference is massive enough then get a Switch 2. If not, just wait for a dump online.

Dude emulation for Switch has been better than native switch for fucking years. You can play 4k 60 fps versions of games that run at 23 fps on Switch.

I asked myself the same thing.
Who the fuck cares about this series?
It's bland as fuck. Dull, no memorable soundtrack, no lore, no cultural impact.
You shoot aliens and turn into a dumb ball.
I recently tried played both old and new games and I honestly didn't get it, and this is coming from someone who loves Castlevania.

If you go to a famitsu thread or mkw thread you will literally see this shit on full display. You will also see schizo conspiracies like the reason why switch 2 was not seen on their shelves at walmart was because sony of japan was purposely sabotaging shipments or obscuring numbers on purpose its amazing where they call any and everyone snoys or eric.

Steam Deck: Only plays games you've already got on your PC. More expensive. Worse performance.

Switch: Can play games that aren't on PC. Less expensive. Better performance.

The 2D Metroids are all good because you explore a planet and collect shit. The thing is that you have high mobility and speed so getting around only takes a few minutes max, so it isn't tedious.

The 3D Metroids are fucking dogshit because they have the same size maps... but you share the same speed as John Halo. And instead of cleaning out repeated enemy encounters in less than 30 seconds, you have to spend at least a minute to shoot the bullet sponge enemies before slowly toddling on. Metroid Other M is an example of how a good 3D Metroid should be, but the retarded story and shit level design ruin it.

Deck. I bought a Switch 2 and had severe buyers remorse after a week with it. MKW sucks, the screen is horrible, the battery life is trash, it has no games, it's uncomfortable as fuck to play in handheld, etc. I dunno what to do with the thing, I can't believe how shit Nintendo has gotten.
