Nintendo Direct left me with mixed feelings. The games look fantastic, but I can't shake the sense that a wealthy corporation is determined to squeeze every last penny out of me.

In that regard, while Steam Deck is also a business, it feels like it takes a more consumer-friendly approach. That’s why I’d rather wait for more details on Steam Deck 2 before making a decision.

Honestly, if I lived in Japan, the choice would be a no-brainer — Nintendo is deeply ingrained in the Japanese market.

I love my steam deck but it's huge and heavy. I often just stream my steam games to my phone with a razor kishi from my big gaming machine.

Looking at the performance of the new Lenovo handheld running steamOS, it's not much better than the steam deck.

So I think we are atleast 2 years off from a new steam deck. Maybe longer.

I think for games like Elden Ring, the new switch is going to feel great.

It seems to me that the game had FPS drops even in Direct, and the graphics are noticeably simplified.

Its cellphone hardware so for sure. Should be noticeably weaker than a latest flagship too.

Still, that's about the same as a steam deck .
