Best portable handheld Nintendo device isn't even made by Nintendo

portable gaming device? yeah that's my smartphone

>not just using a hacked Switch to run this shit

Let me guess, you've never rooted or jailbroken your phone either

Are you at least being paid to shill this thing or do you do it for free?

Hacked switch can't emulate PS2 or GameCube games well if at all.

I'm doing it for free butthurt.

it's all so tiresome.

Blame Nintendo for lacking. Valve is just solving a service problem.

When are they gonna release a smaller version?
Vita is the perfect size for a handheld. Switch Lite size would be fine also though it's not as easy to fit in my pocket or in my camera bag as a Vita is when traveling.

I am also amazed at how good the Vita is

The size is fine. They didn't make this for kids and soiboys, that's what the vita/switch is for.

Vita can't emulate GC/Wii games.

>upscaling a GBC game that much
do zoomers really?

>The size is fine.

>he got filtered by gamegear
lmao retard

only people who have issues with the size are baby-handed manlets.

>fighting game on a device as big as Deck
I'm convinced this is just for shitty promo material

Yes, I'm an adult man not a woman/child.

I still don't understand the purpose of the steam dreck
Look at this massive piece of shit, just carry a laptop at that point

It's the reason I have such developed forearms.

I played SF4 on my 3DS you can play fighting games on the deck, homo.

People talk about the switch being smaller, but that's like saying a one suv is smaller than another suv. It's still too big to consider a compact car.

>How did this happen?
They made a portable PC. Of course that would be the best.

It's for chads that didn't waste money on a shitty laptop or switch and want a portable gaming device.

Can you use the steam deck as a controller for PC games as well like the Wii U gamepad?

A laptop with similar specs is about 4 times bigger, tho.

>Gaming on phones isn't fun. I need a controller.
Buy a phone controller, duh.

>We laugh at retards
While emulating the games the "retards" play but at 15fps.

Nah I think I'll get a deck instead.

Gameboy Micro is all I need.

Why does every single one of these threads seem like just massive coping?
Like the entire identity of the steamdeck is based on trying to prove that it wasn't a waste of time.

Nintendo fags on suicide watch again

Why would it be a waste of time? It's legitimately the best handheld gaming device I've seen in probably my whole life.

I really like the transparent purple, I hope this becomes a thing you can get to reshell it or whatever

Why would you need to jailbreak a phone?

I can only see this being the case if you don't actually own any other gaming devices.

Every one of these threads is filled with people who are mad that they can't have a steam deck because they're too popular so they're trying to convince people to stop preordering to give them a better chance at getting one.

There's also probably at least one GamePadDigital employee posting constantly because they're super butthurt that valve made a much better product in every conceivable way and don't want to bother actually innovating in order to compete.

I love my steam deck, its an amazing piece of technology, and I encourage everyone to preorder asap.

its been 5 years since the Switch came out. That's basically how long entire console generations lasted and they're celebrating their sub-par device that was hacked together and uses a laptop SoC while the Switch uses a mobile SoC that performs only slightly worse.

I have a PS5 and Switch. This will be my first and only gaming PC, and I'll use it to emulate all kinds of old games because the switch still doesn't have a classic library worth a dick.

>I've seen
...so you don't actually have one?

kek, why? Because you're finally playing a game we played 20 years ago? If anything you retards are showing how much you envy us by buying a fucking 400 dollar device to play old games, are you starved for good content that badly? I mean, I get it, I'd also jump at the chance of playing Pokemon Gold like a ravenous dog if all I had to play were woke movies, but at least have some self-respect and emulate HeartGold instead.

Everyone is saying "lol manlet" but i can guarantee I'm larger then 99% of this board and still agree its unwieldy af.

My order won't be ready until October but youtube is filled with all kinds of videos of people emulating games and running PC games full speed with proton. It's an impressive device.

I literally have no interest in getting this device, but I'm sure you'll probably say "sour grapes!" or something.

>nu Pokemon
How about no

I have The Deck.
I don't need anything else.

t. manlet

t. in every steam deck thread

What's the Deck like with a dock and tv/monitor?

I tested both options out and its great! I'll take some pics in a sec,

>How did this happen?
Nintendo hasn't released a new handheld since 3DS died

Why does every deck thread start out with talking about Nintendo?

Bless you brother, keep up the good fight

To bait seething tendies into bumping the thread.

t. OP

Didn't Valve already confirm they were gonna make a new version of the SteamDeck?
Seems kinda retarded to buy one now if they're making an improved one.

>dude just wait for the switch pro

Early adopters are basically beta testers.

Don't care still not canceling my preorder.

So, you're saying that there's no enough interest in Deck to get to the bump limit on it's own?

Thanks to you we're getting the improved version so I can't be too mad about you consooming everything Gabe shits on your plate.

Nah I just like making (You) mad at the deck because it's better than the Switch.

Cope. Still getting the deck.

Ah, fair enough.
