> better than on the Switch

That simply isn’t true.

Downvotes don't make the statement magically more true.




I played BotW on my friend's Switch, and loved it, but didn't really wanna buy another console.

So I went through the tribulations of setting it up on the Deck (pro tip: use EmuDeck, I didn't know about it back then).

I don't know about better, but for me it felt the same as the Switch! The only slight confusion thing was button labeling, but it's quick to get used to.

I'd also say the slightly bigger screen is nicer.


I'm not saying it's not possible. I'm saying it isn't universally better on every game the Switch can play. In fact, many games simply won't run.

But yes, you can (and should!) run the popular titles such as Mario Odyssey and BotW/TotK.
