So, if I was to download this, I could play all the Switch games? Sounds fun. I definitly wouldnt do it, I have too much respect for Nintendo, but if I had do it, what games do people would recommend, for example? I just want to bring awarNES on this.

I've heard Super Mario Wonder is fantastic and may just run great on Steam Deck.

That sounds like something I would like to play. If only.....

Copied from another post I made

Mario + rabbids, pokemon legends, zelda:BOTW/TOTK (pick one they're both pretty similar and have their pros/cons), Mario Wonder, Mario Odyssey, Pikmin 4, Cadence of Hyrule (zelda spin-off of crypt of the necrodancer), zelda:links awakening remake, Mario rpg remake, and Bayonetta 2 (can also play on wii u emulator, 3 isn't as good)

Would you believe that 2 days ago I didn't know this was a thing, and now, I have the software and a list of great games to play? Now I know, and I'm gonna have to make sure as many people as possible are aware of this. I think I'll make a document with simple download links, so people can make sure to block this content.

I really like breath of the wild and tears of the kingdom.

Thanks. So, someone with a Steamdeck who would like to hurt Nintendo could play it just like that... Kind of crazy when you think about it.

Not just play it, but play it better than on a switch. The games run better and can run at higher resolutions

Lol. I can't believe this so I will try it just to make sure you're wrong. But if it's true..... more people need to know about it.

So BotW can play pretty well on Steam Deck now, TOTK on the other hand… it’s a mixed bag. Requires a lot of tweaking and even then you’ll see dips into the 20s for FPS and the occasional stutter. It’s playable, just not smooth. That said, the OG switch only performs just marginally better with the OLED Switch being the best of the three.

This is also coming from someone who has done a lot of tweaking for ToTK to make it work to a satisfactory level. There may have been some further developments in the past couple months, I haven’t tried since the start of the year

Having played TOTK on both the deck and on a bigger brother Linux desktop, it's for sure better on a machine that can has a reasonable, dedicated GPU. It's passable on the deck, enjoyable on the desktop.

I’m playing the Super Mario RPG remake now.

I never played it, or really any JRPG before (at least not very much). I gotta say I’m really enjoying it.
