Hey everyone! I’m in a bit of a gaming handheld dilemma and would love some real-talk advice. I’ve got a Switch OLED, but I’m eyeing the Steam Deck, Ally, and Legion Go. Money’s not an issue, and I’m all about anime games like Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, FighterZ, Kakarot, and Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Seriest. Plus, I want to dip into bigger AAA titles like Spider-Man, God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn, Hogwarts Legacy, Red Dead Redemption 2, etc.
One thing bugging me is that some of these are not compatible on the Steam Deck. Is there any workaround to this? Also, I’m a bit lost on TDP and heard the Steam Deck goes up to 15 watts, but still performs better than the Ally and the Legion Go, but anything above this TDP the other two do better. What’s the real deal with that? Will the OLED screen make a big difference in display quality compared to the other handheld’s normal resolution which is 1080p or higher?
I also plan to dive into some emulation with Wii, PS3, and PS2 games. How do these handhelds handle that?
Would really appreciate your insights, thanks a bunch for helping me figure this out!
I wanted a portable gaming pc. I play mostly single player games. I don’t care if the games are old if they’re GOOD. Games like Resident evil 5, Need for speed MW 2004 and newer games like Resident Evil 7, Live a Live and even DMC5 are a dream come true on the deck.
On the other hand, I always used Linux but came back to Windows because of gaming. Valve contributions to proton helped me transition finally. Valve really won my loyalty and now they address every issues most people had with the original deck. Needless to say IM SOLD with the OLED model. I will support Valve until they start anticonsumer things like EA or Activision do.
