I mean, we already understand the appeal of the switch. It's been out for 4 years and sold 90 million. There are many reasons to get the Switch but because the Steam Deck is so new and it's concept is so unique, it's harder for people to understand it's appeal. It's why I am highlighting many of it's strengths because others are highlighting it's weaknesses and not it's strengths. You mentioned Boffer's comment, go read his and see if he highlighted any positives about the Steam Deck. I am not saying the Steam Deck doesn't have any weaknesses but I do think people are also not understanding it's strengths.

And I wasn't referring to Yuzu for BoTW. Cemu does a much better job with BoTW on PC while looking significantly better. But yes, out of the box experience for Nintendo games, it would be better on the Switch.

"Compatibility: Perfect"

And yes, I am not saying this is a direct competitor to the switch (as I have said in an number of previous posts). It's more so a direct competitor to other PC handhelds like the GPD Win and Aya Neo.

The concept of the Deck is quite simple: it's a mid-range powered PC in a handheld form that makes it great for gaming on the go/TV and, for the first time, with a reasonable price. If there's someone who doesn't get it, then he/she doesn't get handheld gaming.

Boffer's post was a reply to Marth stating his reasons to not like it, not a description of the Deck like your posts have been. There's a clear difference there.

Ah, yes, CEMU! Playing the WiiU version of BotW instead of the Switch one. Ok.

And last, if you're not making a Steam Deck vs Switch (you literally wrote that, prompting my reply) argument, then stop using the Switch for every comparison and start using he other PC handhelds. There are other threads on the site where you can freely compare it with the Nintendo device if you want.

For some reason, we've managed to keep this thread mostly free from useless confrontations with consoles and also brands. Yes, there's always a bit of debate whenever there's a new Intel/AMD/Nvidia product, but even those are mostly safe and reasonable. I don't want to see that blown away with useless Deck vs Switch fights.

You would think but reading through many comments, plenty of people are forgetting the PC part.

Not sure what that means.

The Switch and wiiU version of BoTW are quite similar in a lot of aspects and Cemu is more mature because it has been out longer. Thanks to the enhancements that emulators provide, it will look and play better than the switch version regardless.

People have already compared the Steam Deck to the Switch in this very thread many times... And also, I said it's not a direct competitor, not that I am not going to make a comparison. We make comparisons to console hardware plenty of times in this thread before as well.

With that being said, perhaps I was a bit too aggressive with my initial post so I will give you that. So I can be more fair in the future but I do think that banning Switch vs Steam Deck is going too far as there will be many articles and videos and etc comparing them as well as comparing other PC handhelds.
