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 loved my old psp back in the day and homebrewed the hell of it day dreaming about being able to play my pc games on a portable device, unfortunately it was stollen.

    Then came the steam deck that’s that old dream of mine come true, just spent last night porting my mo2 modlist for Oblivion from my pc to the steam deck, adjusting some settings and it’s playing like a dream.
