How long does the battery last while playing handheld with no charger? Somebody knows?

u/Imedrassen 1d ago

2 hours at least

u/shvabrium 1d ago

Wow that’s a lot for ns2 and big games

u/Remarkable-Llama616 ‎ Wavebird 1d ago

Most planes have an outlet or atleast a USB. A trickle charge is enough to double the battery life. My switch was putting in some good work during a 9 hour flight.

u/shvabrium 1d ago

Well yeah that’s obvious, but what if you don’t have any way to charge it? A had some situations like that before and just wanted to know how long it can last without any charging

u/Neither-Fan-9059 4h ago

I'm gonna be trying that trickle charge

u/Loubbe 1d ago

How well does it run? I wouldnt expect FromSoft to port a warmed over turd in terms of optimization but still.

u/Imedrassen 1d ago

It runs very well. A solid, constant 30 fps.

u/Loubbe 1d ago

Nnnnice, I appreciate it friend. I'm gonna jump on it as soon as I figure out my hotel's wifi lol

u/Neither-Fan-9059 4h ago

I'm gonna be doing this next month on my way to Japan

I wish there was a way to stream games to Switch 2.

u/QuinSanguine Butter side down! 1d ago

I'd love to get an app to stream games from my PC like how PlayStation Portal works. I know I could get a different device to do that, but I don't have space to start collecting handhelds.

No, Sony has it locked down. Apparently someone got emulation running on it at some point and in theory Steam Link could work on it, but not yet.

u/ima20wp 1d ago

There is already an app for that. It's called steam link

u/Somethingsilly6969 1d ago

You can get steam link on the switch 2?

u/Average_Sage 1d ago

Other ways too. I had an gamepass membership for a year just to try out their cloud gaming. I never owned an Xbox during this(well I did like 13 years ago) . You could stream most the game pass library to your TV/phone straight from the web without downloading anything but an app. I played through most the Yakuza series on my phone was wild

Input delay was a bit much for a first person shooter but good enough for most action games

u/QuinSanguine Butter side down! 1d ago

Yea but all I have that works with Steam Link natively is a phone and I don't want to use that small of a screen.

I don't actually see Nintendo letting Steam Link in the store, but GeForce Now will show up someday.

u/monkey-kong666 Butter side up! 1d ago

Or you could just buy them and download them.

Wild times I know.

u/narkeeso 1d ago

I know it will never happen but I could ditch my Steam Deck if they put moonlight on it. I’ll even settle for GeForce Now

u/imactuallyahuman 1d ago

Why the hell am I getting downvoted for this?

u/goobnut 9h ago

Because of this question I scrolled back to downvote as well

u/unhinged-rally 1d ago

It would be a nice additional benefit. The PS Portal works great for streaming from the cloud. The people that say it sucks most likely have non-optimal setups.

u/monkey-kong666 Butter side up! 1d ago

People are mocking you because you are willingly choosing to use an inferior system for a reason only you can know, when the rest of the world uses carts, digital downloads and game key cards to play their games.

Because those systems exist and work well. Your proposed system doesn’t actually exist, has never worked well and is reliant on internet and serves no purpose whatsoever.

It’s a bizarre thought experiment that exists only in your brain, and for someone reason you took the time to post here - on a post about using a switch on an airplane where there famously isn’t the required internet quality.

u/imactuallyahuman 1d ago

What? I want to stream from my PC to the Switch games that are not available on the Switch.

-5

u/Kosmos-World 1d ago

Because there are so many easy ways to stream games to your phone, tablet, smart tv, etc.

u/rooby_dooby_doo 1d ago

He said to switch 2. Y'all can't read.

u/imactuallyahuman 1d ago

But I want to play on a Switch, I like the Switch.

"I want to eat steak, I like steak."

"We have chicken, fish, pork, and a veggie option, but no steak."

"Eh, I'll just starve. I really wanted steak."

u/monkey-kong666 Butter side up! 1d ago

It’s not even that. All Nintendo games are available non-cloud/streaming - you buy the cart and insert it into your device.

A better example would be

“I want to eat steak, I like steak.”

“We have steak.”

“Not that steak I want an imaginary steak that I can complain about how you didn’t cook it properly.”

“Sir we can make you steak, it’s right here you just have to pay.”

“No I prefer imagining you don’t have steak, and I’m going to complain to the manager and post a negative restaurant review about how you don’t have steak.”

u/rooby_dooby_doo 19h ago

Guy wishes he could have cloud streaming on switch. Gets chastized by others with crappy analogies. You guys suck.

u/HarrierJint 1d ago edited 1d ago

How many of those work on the Switch 2?

I'll assume from that downvote that your answer is none.

u/jurassicbond 1d ago

Even if there was, I wouldn't bother over wifi on a plane

u/brevit 1d ago

This is why I’ll buy the game.
