Better as in much better framerate with no performance drops. At least that's what I've heard.

Pretty much all the games I have played allowed to disable the motion controls. I think it counts towards accessibility. Personally I really dislike the whole motion control aspect so always turn them off. Zelda included.

I'm sure there are other tradeoffs as well. But would love it see what it's like on an emulator. Or maybe not, it might make running games on the original hardware feel terrible :)




That has not been my experience with switch games on the Steam Deck. Anytime shaders are loaded the FPS seems to stutter which in the newer Mario game is like every few seconds at first and it gets better the longer you play.

I still prefer the switch for switch games myself.


I've tried a few and it does very much seem to depend on the game. Some run better, some run worse. Most are about equal.


Not in my experience. Definitely performance drops on the Deck. And even when it's running well, shader caches or whatever can make it stutter. Still very cool to be able to have all my games on one device though, even if it doesn't run as well.


Curious if you are running with or without mods.

I think motion control is the only option for Pokemon Let's Go.
