!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Don't understand why anyone even wants this underpowered, overpriced, uninspiring piece of shit. If mobile gaming is that important to you, just get a Steam Deck and install the inevitable Switch 2 emulator on it.
The Switch 2 is more powerful than the Steam Deck... For now.
I do hope Valve can count higher than three with the Deck...
Are you sure about that? After seeing the specs of the Switch 2, I'm convinced that Nintendo put the weakest hardware they possibly could get away with putting in a modern gaming device. I mean Nintendo literally lied and said that it could run games at 120 FPS, when a 4090 can't even do that with literally 10x more CUDA cores.
I mean I believe you, but are you certain that it's actually more powerful than a Steam Deck? Regardless, it doesn't matter because Steam Deck 2 is on the way. Just buy that one when it comes out (or stick to desktop gaming like me if you don't need to game on the go.) Nobody needs a Switch 2.
It does run games at 120fps. Metroid prime 4 is supposed to run at 120fps when it releases.
