I just bought Mario RPG at a whopping CAD$90 and it’s got pretty bad slowdown. I only ever play my Switch undocked and performance is decent but not spectacular. Everything is also so aliased and jagged. I kinda feel ripped off after buying a full price Switch game.
It made me reconsider my stance on emulation because the Deck can probably run it better. I’ve never been into emulating because I like the ritual of changing discs/cartridges (kind of why playing vinyl is special to me, it ritualizes music and makes it a “thing” instead of something in the background).
But I have a Switch and 20 some odd games that I could probably sell and buy two new Decks with the proceeds.
To those who emulate Switch on Deck, what’s your experience like?
I guess if you like online Switch games. Other than that, literally no reason to
I emulate all my switch games and they run great complete pikmin 4, TOTK, and mario wonder, with a current play through of mario RPG.it pays well to be a pirate
I still use my Switch lite a lot. Emulating the Switch has come a long way but is still not at a place where I’d want to get rid of the Switch however, a lot of games do work pretty well on the Deck from what I’ve tried.
