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!
With how much I travel given my job and hobbies, I am hardly ever home so the steam deck was a really obvious purchase. I already used my switch a lot and just paying for hardware that gives seamless access to my already large Steam library was well worth the price. I could not giver you any about the other handhelds, more performance I guess would be nice but I am already happy what I can do with mine, as long as it lasts a few years ill upgrade then.
