My Steam Deck has arrived! I cannot overstate how nice this screen is. It's the best screen I've ever seen on a handheld. V

enjoy brother

ick on eck

Handhelds aren’t my thing but why would somebody buy a switch 2 over this?

>>714424289
Rent free.

>>714424289
my friend bought a steam deck instead of switch 2

>>714424289
games and more powerful

>>714424289
More powerful hardware and Nintendo games.

>>714423786 (OP)
tendie seething in 3... 2... 1...

>>714424289
i will never understand why people keep comparing these two

>>714424289
desu handhelds are a meme in general. ive owned a switch oled, and have a oled deck.

the switch oled i ended up gifting to a relative. the only real games worth playing on switch was online stuff like mario kart and splatoon.

deck was cool because i played alot of old classics and emulated games like mario galaxy, sonic adventure, ect. But i barely touch it now, maybe i use it once in a blue moon when i travel.

PC > Gaming Laptop > Handhelds imo. If you are traveling im leaning towards a laptop over handheld.

It took me 2 years to figure out I could connect my PS4 controller via bluetooth kek

>>714424904
>more power to play 0.1% of pc's library

>>714425296
Handhelds are fine when you can actually hold them in your hands ala GBA or DS or even PSP.
These ultra large """handhelds"""" are definitely a meme though.

>>714424904
>powerful hardware
Worthless when your hardware is locked down by garbage firmware.
>Nintendo games
Nintendo software does not justify Nintendo hardware.

>>714427831
That's just like, your opinion, though?

Welcome to the club fellow Steam Sister.

Nintendo games are incredibly overrated. They stopped being good after the snes.

>>714425686
yep. i completely agree. i remember when i was packing my luggage to go out of town for a couple days and realized how fucking big the deck case was and how it took up like 1/4 of my storage.

deck is great and all, but it really is not as portable as people make it out to be. if you are gonna pull out a deck. you might as well pull out a laptop.

>>714428194
Please justify spending $500 on
>Mario Kart World, a game where you cannot choose which track to race on
>a ten dollar tech demo
>60fps patches for Wii U games
>a shitty gamecube emulator
At best you're better off waiting for more games to come out to justify this piece of junk, but I honestly don't believe Metroid Prime 4 will save this system.

Steam Deck has a shitty screen

>>714425064
Because they're both handhelds and people can't help but smash square pegs into round holes. It’s like comparing a Swiss army knife to a toaster because they both fit in a drawer. Different ecosystems, different target audiences, but the internet has to pit everything against each other or it gets twitchy.

>>714429075
The oled one is good.

>>714424289
You buy a Switch 2 to play Nintendo games. You buy a Steam Deck to pirate old games.

>>714423786 (OP)
I wish it were 1200p.

>>714429010
It's never going to go down in price so you might as well pick one up now if you have any intention of getting it.

>>714429115
>Swiss army knife to a toaster
they are fucking electronic systems that play games. you sound retarded trying to cherry pick like this

>>714429010
>Mario Kart World, a game where you cannot choose which track to race on
What are ya stupid or something?

I hope deck 2 has a bigger screen. Using my deck after playing on my switch 2 feels like picking up a baby toy.

>>714429368
one is a low end portable pc, and the other is a home console
i know deckfags started forcing the "I CAN PLAY ALL SWITCH GAMES LOL" meme but they're still different products for different markets
this is even dumber than the normal console wars

>>714429757
no one is actually using their deck as portable PC. you have to be an idiot to actually think i could bring my deck to an office and optimally make excel documents and emails on that device rather than using laptop.

>>714429757
what is the switch emulation like on deck anyway? Switch emulation wasnt really a thing last I checked but that was yonks ago
Can I play the more recent Pokemon games? That'd be cool. Don't know what other games the swich has but I'd have a look

>>714429965
>recent Pokemon games
i can tell you from first hand experience the deck can run pokemone b&w and hgss, which are the only pokemon games worth playing.
there is a pretty good DS split screen thing that the deck does.

>>714430149
I got a folding phone so I'm set for anything DS/3DS. Just playing through platinum first so I'm not going backwards feature-wise or whatever.

>>714429458
>noooooo you can race on a track (but only once!)
What if I don't want to do the retarded intermission?
>>714429330
Or I can just wait until I can get a second hand machine cheap, play Metroid Prime 4, and then sell it before going back to my Deck and PC.

>>714423786 (OP)
grats on your gender reveal sister

>>714429010
My kids wanted one and I'm not poor
