OG steamdeck, which I retired and never used much. OLED steamdeck has been life changing however, much much better battery. Between that and lack of oled screen switch 2 is a big miss.

I'll probably get one eventually, but I'm in no rush. We still have lots of Switch games to play, and nothing yet is a must have. Now, if they make a great Zelda game or something, maybe I'll be convinced. Most of my gaming is on PC or Steam Deck, so the Switch is mostly for my kids and family game time. So as long as the OG fulfills that purpose, I'm not upgrading.

With battery packs and plugs all over everywhere battery life is a non starter topic. 2 hours is plenty

Yeah, I like the OLED on the Switch, maybe I'll wait until the Switch 2 has a revision

Previously people complained the Switch 2 couldn’t push pixels like a PS5… Is there a big rift in the player base that plays docked vs mobile? I just don’t know how to process the feedback for this console.

Ah yes, definitely should be mAh.

I read a post that the new Donkey Kong was made by the same team that did Odyssey I hope that is true.

Why wait? Get a Steam Deck now and have hundreds of thousands of games available to play.

I have a Steam Deck...

Sounds like its making no-one all that happy.

I mean it's your money, but if you already have a portable handheld with better screen, better battery, and that can run the whole of the steam catalogue... why spend $450 (or whatever) on the Mario Machine, is it just for the exclusives?

I commited a blasphemy against a huge digital store with a monopoly in their niche, an unforgivable offence amongst PC gamers.

Nothing, I’m third week into a T-break and I quit smoking nicotine 10 years ago, thanks for asking.

I read it after a day of train travel with Switch 2 so that articles hit a nail on the head for me although you’d be hard pressed to get just 2 hours, more like 2,5 for heavy titles with WiFi. Zelda TOTK could be stretched to almost 3h in the airplane mode with brightness slider in the middle. Very similar to Switch v1/Erista that I never upgraded out of because it’s so easy to hack.

While I appreciate USB-C port at the top so you can rest your Switch on your legs and charge it at the same time, that’s not exactly convenient.

Batteries don't get better the more you use them

Yeah, as my Switch v1 can no longer carry me through my entire commute I expect same to happen with S2, which is the worst part of this.

Yeah, what a snivelling sycophantic headline.

Lol you have no clue what you're talking about bud. Steam doesn't force any of the games sold on its storefront to be exclusive to their store. Developers are completely within their power to publish their games to other marketplaces and, in fact, many titles are readily available elsewhere, such as GOG, Humble Bundle, Jolt, itch.io, Epic, and soon even Discord will have its own storefront. They are simply a marketplace; they don't have a monopoly just because they are the most popular marketplace. Not their fault developers don't like the non-DRM pushing spaces, which is the only complaint I have with Steam. Meanwhile, you're comparing that to Nintendo which develops games in-house and deliberately keeps them exclusive to their proprietary consoles. Last I checked, I can't buy the new Mario Kart or Donkey Kong on my PS5 or PC.

You sound very confident for being wrong, which is about par for the course for libertarians. Nintendo actually makes games to sell their hardware. Valve coasts on having a monopoly. Having irrelevant competition doesn’t mean you don’t have a monopoly, you just need a dominant position that allows you to leverage it to hold on to it. It would be okay if they were some benevolent dictator but they use it to sell gambling apps to children.
