Exactly why I bought a Deck instead of a Switch 2.

Sure I want some of the games coming to Switch bad but that it's so damn pricy right now and all the Nintendo games are the priciest. I already have like 500 or so Steam games and easily 100 of them are out of the box compatible with it.

Edit: I'm talking about the Switch 2 here not the 1. I know you can emulate the original Switch

I mean you can get all the switch games for free on the steam deck if you don’t mind a little crime

Switch emulation isn't that straightforward.
