    I’m a big fan of the switch, since it can be emulated. Best way to play console games… wait a few years and have pretty much all of them.

      Can it? That’s cool but I somehow wouldn’t know why? For the exclusives? Are there even some? Isn’t the only benefit of a switch to be super mobile? An emulator would be my 1st choice, but also defeats the whole purpose of a switch.

        You’d literally just said the Switch was shit, which makes it sort of weird for you to follow that up with gripes that emulating those games in better quality would be less mobile.

        You’re not nerding hard enough. It’s ok, we slow down as we get older sometimes. If you have a nice connection at home and abroad you can use anything as a screen. You can play any PC game or emulated game running on your PC at home and streaming to a phone/tablet/screen connected to a bluetooth controller or one of those cases that snap around and add controls like a switch or steamdeck if you feel like it.

        Aside from that, yes, of course Nintendo consoles have a lot of great exclusives. They always have. That’s not something new in the last several decades. The last several Zelda games have been amazing, and I’d much rather be playing them on a massive screen having been rendered at a much better resolution.

          To me, personally, the switch is total shit. Even if connected to our 240" screen it’s fucking slow fps-wise and just looking dated. And seeing what she has to pay for games that maybe end with the life of the switch (dunno if the next iteration still could play them?)

          Sure, I can stream the emulated switch-game to whichever device, but when I’m already there I wouldn’t know why I would prefer them over the tons of games I have at hand on the streaming-pc. The only exclusive that mildly interests me is breath of the wild. If the emulator could unlock fps and also offered a better resolution and m+k-input instead of controllers, I might even do that at some point.
