Am I the only one who doesn't care about this? We'll wait for the 33% nintendo sales and fill the rest of the year with 3rd party 80% sales like always
-
Can't wait to wait 2 years and then pirate it.
But besides that; are there any good PC kart racers?
(Emphasis on "good", because I already know about Super Tux Kart, used to play it a lot more than 10 years ago, but today it feels very... Clunky and dated).
I hear very good things about Sonic All-Stars Racing Transformed, and there's a new one coming.

Wut OoO really?

I’ll wait for an emulator
Honestly, I won't bother. I only tried a few Switch games on emulator out of curiosity, and never played long. They don't make anything interesting enough for me to want. I don't get why people feel the need for Nintendo.

I love having my decision not to buy a Nintendo Switch and stick to PC games validated.
Feel bad for all the Nintendo fans though, I get how you can fall in love with a franchise they make and want their stuff only to have "except it costs a ton" stuck on, so you'll have to skip for financial reasons and feel unhappy. It's a lot harder to abstain from something you actually care about and want, than something you are maybe mildly interested in.
It's most difficult for me since I want to play metroid prime 4, especially after hearing the music. But I don't want to pay 90 euro for base game. That's incredibly ridiculous

I look forward to playing these for free in a year or two when an emulator that works on the Steam Deck is released.

4 real when Zelda was released on the switch is ran at like 1080p 30 fps. The emulator version was 4k @ 60 fps…

The reason the switch 1 was emulated so fast was a hardware vulnerability on nvidia's part. Presumably we won't see that again.
Also: While switch games DO run better on a steam deck, they don't run great. And I think estimates put the switch 2 at closer to a PS4 than PS3 in terms of power? But even PS3/360 games don't run gerat on a Steam Deck.
Not to mention nintendo's lawyers putting the fear of mario into the emulation community.
So in a few years? I could see MAYBE some proof of concepts. But I doubt we'll actually be able to properly emulate switch 2 games until at least 2030.

I'm just going to get the Switch version and be perfectly happy with the visuals being slightly less good and using gyro joycon aim over joycon mouse.

The mainline Zelda games were fantastic emulated, beautiful with graphics mods and at 1440p/60-120FPS! I also really enjoyed Link’s Awakening. I played Monster Hunter Rise on my regular switch for like 140 hours, but I wish I had waited for the computer version.
I’m definitely passing on Switch 2. I only ever played my Switch docked and always wished I was just playing it in the computer instead.

Well, then I look forward to playing games for this retro console for free in six years when an emulator drops for the Steam Deck 2.

Some of us will probably even get to play it early judging by the past several first-party Nintendo games.

No Zelda or Mario will hurt. But Nintendo's decided I'm just too poor to be worthy of playing their games any more.

Hah. Oh hey... Look, it's in 4K after all!

And 60fps! Well, not for me, I'll be playing on original Switch hardware.

There's a hundred different versions that you can play already with emulators and on an old switch. Wait till the new one is emulated
