I have barely ever bought anything for my Switch, only a couple of big titles for Zelda and Mario. It's just too expensive and there are hardly ever any sales. And any third-party games I can get much cheaper on PC anyway.
The pricing also made it really difficult to understand which games were newer, like I looked at Pokemon games and the much older ones were also still priced as if they were new.
-
Steamdeck seem much better option.
-
Yeah but the Steam Deck came like 5 years after I bought the Switch lol
Meanwhile I got a Gamesir G8 that I can use with my phone or tablet, and I can just remote to my PC or PS5 to play games.
-
Yes you are right but rumors say new switch release is coming and that's why Nintendo aggressively targetting emulators.
But steamdeck seem much better option
-
Emulators are like a hydra.
Go ahead and take one down. There's 100,000 still left to choose from, with a million more well on the way.
And the ones I've already got still work juuuuuust fine.
-
There were 2 viable switch emulators, Yuzu and Ryijinx. Nintendo has managed to stop development of both. Yes, you can still get them from other sources, but the original team that worked on the software is now fractured and threatened. Too bad for Nintendo that both Ryujinx and Yuzu were already good enough to play most games with minor issues on reasonable hardware.
-
Yeah, release groups are still packaging ryujinx with new switch games, it's just that good that it still works with games released after it went under.

I bought a switch because it was cheap and something for my nephew. I haven't had a console since the xbox 360, so i had no idea what i missed. I thought i'll buy mario kart, because who doesn't like Mario kart. Game was 60 bucks. That seems steep i thought. When i opened up the game at home i realised super mario kart 8 isn't a new title, it's 10 years old. Start the game. Obe of the most pathetic attempts to sell children dlc's that i have ever seen. Nice, so i bought disco elysium on sale, so i can play disco on the toilet or something. The nintendo has the biggest trouble running a point and click game. What even is that?
The funniest part about this story is that i had some trouble and went to a switch forum and asked if people buy their games used and that that is highway robbery. I never seen people being so defensive about their video game system. I was being really nice despite thinking i bought the biggest piece of shit hardware from a piece of shit company out there. Everyone told me that 60 dollars is a good price for what you get and the dlc maps are fun.
-
The switch is underpowered for a lot of things but if it's having trouble with Disco Elysium that's probably more of a knock on whichever studio handled the port.
-
Don't buy that dlc, it's not worth 60€.
Look into hacking your switch. It's fun and teaches you things and you get free games out of it.

You should look into hacking your switch. If you can't do it the easy way, there's another way that's not for the faint of heart, but I did it and have never spent a dollar more on games since.

V1 switch just needs a jig, simple. V2 switch picofly is affordable and accessible to diy with some soldering skills. With the OLED models they put one of the points underneath a BGA chip making that more difficult.
But getting one installed from an actual shop will still only cost the price of a Nintendo game or two.
-
I did my v2 and "accessible to diy" is, while true, overselling it. It's accessible to people who already have extensive experience with soldering, though I suspect you could learn to do the specifics you need in a few days.
-
It's at the point where it requires enough equipment and skill that I'd recommend just going to a shop for newcomers. But it's easy enough that you don't need really need an expensive microscope or rework station so for people who already have some experience under their belt it's doable as long as they practice on junk boards down to 0201 sized components.

Out of all the Nintendo consoles I have owned (everything except the n64) the switch is the one I have the fewest games for. I don't often buy games at full price so I guess I don't buy Nintendo titles anymore.
