I guess it really depends on what kind of games you plan to play. I feel like Switch is smaller and easier to hold plus my newest OLED switch seems to last longer and has a better looking screen than the old one. If I had to go for a long period of playing, I'd probably get into something adventure related like Zelda. Then there's also the plethora of games on N64 and GBA and the other libraries. Really it depends on what kind of games you want to play but that's my preference. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Depends on what games you got loaded up.
You probably won't have stable wi-fi/internet for long periods of time... so always online DRM protected AAA titles will be an issue on the deck. --- Be careful: I was moderated for telling people not to commit illegal acts of assault and murder.

NeonTentacles posted... Steam Deck has a 90 min battery. Are you sure charging wont be an issue? >_> That only happens if your playing something AAA, if your playing older games I would imagine the battery life is much longer. Plus there are adapters you can bring worst case scenario. As Torgo said, it depends on the games you have loaded up. I would bring my Steam Deck, only because I like using it more than my Switch for long car rides. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I've never seen the steam deck get so much love. That's cool.Yes. If you have a PC you can install Steam on, theyve now replaced Big Picture Mode with the Steam Deck UI so you can try it out. But you basically have a horizontal list of your games like the Switch, but you also can press the Steam button and go to Lineary for a grid, then apply filters and searches and stuff. library view also has collections, so if you use EmuDeck Steam ROM Manager will just setup a SNES collection for you, and all your SNES games are in there. EmuDeck is a wizard that basically sets up a bunch of emulators for you with controller hot keys, like Select + L1 is Load State, Select + R1 is Save State, there is a hot key for fast forward and one for rewind but I dont remember them off the top of my head. Its far more comfortable as a controller than the Switch is, and the screen is deceptively large. I barely use mine, but thats mostly because at home Id rather use my desktop and outside my home Id usually rather just read on my tablet. --- Console war in a nutshell: http://imgur.com/xA6GJZ9.png ...

It would be a lot easier to sign up on a computer (you could do it in a web browser without installing Steam) but Id be surprised if the Deck didnt let you sign up. Im just not willing to sign out of mine to check for you as my password is long and randomly generated, so its a pain when I have to enter it by hand instead of copying it from my password manager. --- Console war in a nutshell: http://imgur.com/xA6GJZ9.png ...

My Steam Deck has given me countless hours of entertainment. I highly suggest limiting 3D games to 30fps for a great performance boost and lower temperatures. Though I dont think you can charge it unless you use the wall charger because its picky about the power output which you can get through just a usb. Switch is great too for its exclusives but I havent got the chance to play anything since Christmas asides from Metroid...my brother got me that I should probably bother putting in some more time. ...

Im back home now, but the only time I really interacted with the Switch is when I was in my hotel room. So chances are, it probably wouldve been the same with the SD as well. Speaking of handhelds, does anyone own a retroid handhelds? The RP3+ is a pretty solid device and it fits right into your pocket!
