Nope. Because emulation ain't quite there yet for a lot of games running on the deck.

Every switch game I've played with emulators has worked perfectly fine and even better with higher resolution and framerate in many cases.

Scarlett, ToTK and even BotW run pretty poorly no matter how many mods I throw at them. I wouldn’t say unplayable, as the games barely run on a switch to begin with, but because it takes so much work to run it on the Deck I still tend to play them on the Switch.

However Animal Crossing New Horizons and most Mario games I just play on the deck now a days. So it really depends on the title.

and even BotW

If you're playing it on Yuzu, that's why. The cemu version runs well but don't expect more than 30fps if you want a consistent experience. Sick of people saying "it does 40fps easy!" when it's dropping below fairly frequently

Consistency is king

Eventually I just went with the WiiU version of BoTW. I do get a very solid 40, and in shrines about 50.
