    They're tryna go the best value argument, and if that's the case the Steam Deck sure as s*** ain't the most cost effective console for emulation lol

    I just copped a Retroid Pocket 4 Pro last month for $160...less than double the economic Steam Deck model, and I'm able to play games up to the Switch with little to no issue. I love this f***in this thing man lmao I still have my Switch for Switch games but regardless. Why don't I see people recommending that or any of the other handheld Android/Linux based consoles that are significantly cheaper and capable of emulating old games with all the modern bells and whistles?

    I just wish these people would knock off the bullshit and just admit they're caping for Gabe Newell cause it's definitely not about saving people money

    Ohhhh lmao didn’t know they were on that. Admittedly im a valve fan boy, but only because I believe Half life and portal are some of humanities peak gaming experiences.

    But for emulation yeah there’s tons of cheaper routes to go down. You can even build PCs that are cheaper than the deck to do emulation lmao dumb argument.

    As much as I love my SteamDeck I don’t think it should be considered the end all be all it definitely has it’s drawbacks.

    Series S + gamepass is pretty good value for budget gaming

    Those are $60 games with $20 dlc, it’s not new. Everyone does this, not just Nintendo. Nintendo also have done these bundles for a decade.

    Never played Metroid Prime (only tried Metroid Dread and it was just another 2D platformer for me) but Metroid Prime 4 on Switch 2 looks incredible. If/when I 'eventually' or 'probably' get a Switch 2 I might have to give it a shot even though I'm generally not a fan first person shooters or sci-fi space-themes. The graphical jump from the Switch version to the Switch 2 version is very impressive to me.

    Prime 1 raised the bar for the whole medium

    Just remembered that I have my dusty Switch OLED and some dusty games. If I sell my OLED and a few of the games I can mitigate the insane Switch 2 pricing here in Sweden which is currently 680 bucks as opposed to 450 in the US. That way I can at least try and get the price closer to the original Switch which is more reasonable.

    Don’t listen any nintendogs defending this trash ass company. They’re like the only ones who make disgusting profits on both consoles and games and they’re still greedy as f*** losers! Cheapos too!!

    They’ll make a profit on switch consoles even at $450 and they will always make a profit on their games especially if they start jacking up prices. There are games with hundreds of millions in dev costs selling for $60-70. F***ing Mario kart selling for $80 is pure lunacy. A game that doesn’t even take close to 100 mil to create
