Excited for this but man it's been so nice playing PC games on my Ally . I'm assuming Deck owners feel the same way.

I’m assuming Deck owners feel the same way
Confirmed, except how some of these games are out here being 100GB+. But the indie space is where it's at right now anyway.
And honestly my biggest thing is pricing. I currently have GamePass so been grinding through a ton of games there. But I’ve been buying so many games on sale that are so much more expensive on the Switch for whatever reason.
I'm going to buy the next Nintendo system but only to play exclusives.
Everything else I will play my deck and other consoles. The thing is just amazing.
Also Much much cheaper.
Just got an oled switch, I’ve only got one third-party game in my cartridge collection (of four game cards in total) and 2 digital third-party ones I can’t play from my account’s profile but that my mom bought for the family switch and re-downloaded on mine after I had her make a user profile on it. I’ve already bought Minecraft BE on a million different platforms and yet I almost always play java edition instead, and others that are available for Switch run just fine on my gaming PC.
The whole point of Nintendo devices is playing official, Nintendo-made games that can’t be found anywhere else.
Well I bought a lot of third party games because I like to play game portable and the steam deck wasnt available yet.
I also like the Nintendo boxes for the physical games. I think they look nice and I will always buy a third party game if I really like it. For example I bought enter the gungeon digital and it's one of my favorite games, so I just had to have it physical.
But now with the steam deck I can have access to all my other libraries, so now I don't feel so appealed to buy third party games on switch. Also saves a ton of money because your don't have to pay the "Nintendo tax".
For sure. I would still get the switch 2 as it's definitely going to actually have exclusives (unlike the PS5 and Xbox this gen which have basically a handful each)
