It is pretty good for a system that is capped at 30 FPS though, and 40 FPS is the very minimum it reaches, it usually stays around 50-60, but we all already knew the Switch 1 internals were underclocked.
I think I could aim for a more stable 60 FPS but my Switch still has the OG thermal paste and the environment where I live is hot, so I am more than comfortable with what I can get without harming my Switch in this scenario.
For me the answer is pretty clear, right now with my overclocked Switch 1, I get above 40 FPS most of the time (60 in certain areas) with BOTW and also I am using Fizeau to improve the colors to make it look more like a Switch OLED (it even looks great on the TV), I don’t expect TOTK being too different.
I don’t consider myself an early adopter, heck I never am, the only time I recall is getting a New Nintendo 3DS Black Friday edition even before the BF (the thing arrived first in Mexico) just because it was a special edition and the only way to get that model here officially… And for a good price even!
The only reason I am tempted to get a Switch 2 is because it probably means it will get exploited easier/earlier than the next batches.
I couldn’t get in contact with Nintendo in Mexico, I ended up buying those AliExpress repair kits and did it myself after several frustrating hours.
And that is why it would be fun to troll the worldwide players with such a tactic, at least for a little while, but the world ain’t funny anymore and they wouldn’t do that with arguably the most expected game of the decade.
Is there any mission as of nowadays that forces you to drive according to traffic laws in any of all the entries?
If not I propose a very annoying one like the Driver tutorial as the GTA VI tutorial.
It has to do with me, I love tinkering, I can’t because I can’t buy the Steam Deck officially.
I have never cared about winning Internet arguments, nor I have been surprised with such a reply, so there is a first time for everything I guess.
My point is that there’s no reason to think the Switch 2 can’t be emulated on the Deck, at least not until we get more information.
Also there is not a reason to believe that it will emulate Switch 2 games… What I can almost guarantee is that it won’t be as smooth as it does with Switch 1 games, unless we talk about less demanding games ofc.
The Steam Deck supports 4k60 just fine, just not on the built-in display ofc.
TIL, so docked emulation could be something (I suppose it gets more power plugged in as well).
Why not?
Let’s be objective here, can you really see the Steam Deck emulating the Cyberpunk 2077 game of the Switch 2? I know there is not a reason to do this, but these kinds of achievements are what I mean with “perfect emulation”.
But tbf, the deck is relatively old by now and could itself benefit from an upgrade
I have no doubts that a Steam Deck 2 will emulate Switch 2 games… But everyone keeps telling me this won’t happen soon enough…
As far as emulation, we at least know Nintendo considered it worth the effort to try to take down all Switch 1 emulators before even revealing fhe Switch 2, probably suggesting it’s not going to be hard to emulate.
That is one opinion, my personal one is that they just did it because they can still benefit from the sales of the Switch 1 games as the console is retrocompatible, so of course they would want you to pay for them instead of emulating them… Think of it as when they were actively blocking flashcarts that launched games for the DS in the 3DS.
It’ll probably be limited mostly to 2D titles, simple 3D ones, or maybe some hyper-polished first party titles
Perhaps, but what we know as of now is that Metroid Prime 4 was announced to run at 4K 60 FPS/1080p 60 FPS which I think the current Steam Deck will not be able to achieve (it doesn’t even have such resolutions), perhaps 720p 120 FPS is doable, but if it can’t perfectly emulate the Switch 2 then I don’t see it as a viable Switch 2 replacement.
What is your doubt, Valve doesn’t sell the Steam Deck officially in Mexico, and I won’t pay extra fees to import one.
Well, PC ain’t a handheld, unless you add streaming (local or externally) or a dedicated machine like the Steam Deck to the equation, that would definitely be something about the 450 bucks Nintey asks.
You couldn’t have said it better, I swear nobody knows the Steam Deck outside of Lemmy or Reddit in my close circle lol.
Also, I don’t mind tinkering, but for me Valve hasn’t done a great job there either because even to this day I can’t purchase one officially from Mexico LMAO.
Do you really think the Steam Deck will have the horsepower to emulate Switch 2? I’d love too, but even Switch 1 is not in perfect level yet (like PPSSPP perfect like).
People bought a Wii so they could play a motion control game with Grandma once or twice
I’d give up everything just to do this…
I mean… I will be able to get a Nintendo Switch 2 eventually… Regarding the Steam Deck, I can’t buy it officially in Mexico yet… Come on Valve, we are literally neighbors of the USA lol.
I want my Metroid Prime Hunters online (I still hop there with Wiimmfi)… Not everything must be Splatoon :/
I swear people (not you) comments just because lol.
We get it boys, Nintendo doesn’t do anything right.
Do you think that? I just think their approach is not getting inventive with games that are better suited for mouse gaming, because I can tell playing those games with traditional controllers seems like a chore.
This is bothering me too… But there is a huge perk of being an early adopter though… 🏴☠️
Is there any instance that has a poll for Linux questions for the registration yet? If there isn’t I would be surprised.
