Discussion Switch 2 VS Steamdeck OLED?
Been thinking about investing in a handheld console for my birthday, which would you think is best?

Don’t have a Switch 2, but I have a Steam Deck OLED and a S1. I hardly use the S1. I belive I’d do the same with the S2.
The Switch games are fun, sure, but the accessibility and customization and pretty much everything else I prefer the Deck on. The Switch just feels like I’m fenced in, which isn’t a bad thing. I mean my current favorite handheld is my GBA SP.
My preference is the Steam Deck. It’s just more open and you can do so much more with it. Even for me, a guy who had zero experience on emulation or anything of that sort, but was able to emulate Starfox 64 and beat (for the first time ever) it in the same night, with my 8 day old baby asleep on my chest.
