So I wanted to get Switch 2 for my mom on Black Friday. She loves Mario, Yoshi and especially Zelda games.
Month ago, I bought the Steam Deck OLED and put pirated games on it including switch 1, WiiU and PC games. She now mentions she wants the Steam Deck too.
Problems is, she’s kind of not so technical. She gets stressed when things go wrong and has no idea what to do and waits for me. So which of the two would you purchase knowing this?
Note; I’ll be the one doing everything for her. Putting games, emulation, updating and problem solving if things go south.
Money isn’t the issue, just don’t know which to get.
P.S: was not sure whether piracy is allowed in this community. Sorry in advance if it is not.
Has she tried playing on your steam deck?
I got the OLED Deck this year to replace my Switch, and the first thing I noticed was that my hands are not quite big enough. I can’t reach the Y button with my thumb quickly, and I cannot comfortably put my index and middle fingers on the bumper and trigger buttons. I ended up mapping the bumpers to the back buttons and got used to pressing trigger with my index finger, but it took a while to get over my muscle memory.
Yeah, she plays a lot on it. But she usually wants me to turn on the games when it’s emulation.
She really likes how the Deck feels (ergonomically).
As long as you’re comfortable setting up the emulations, Steam Deck seems like a better choice then.
