Comment on Is the Steam Deck getting outdated soon? Should I wait for the next gen?

That’s a pretty personal opinion but I’m a Switch owner and if there is one thing I don’t miss on it, it’s AAA games. Not because I dislike AAA, but because I think in handheld mode I really preferred games with simpler graphics, like Mario games (2D and 3D), sidescrollers, the top down Zelda games or (S)NES games. I really had a hard time when I tried Breath of the Wild and ended up playing it in the dock almost completely. I think it’s a real missed opportunity that the new Pokemon games aim for 3D and open worlds because it not only hurts the games performance, but for me also the playability.
I’m interested in switching to a Steam Deck but I don’t think I would play visually complex games on it. That’s what my PC is for. But I don’t know if that’s just me or if other people feel the same.

I pretty much only use my Deck for older/simpler/indie games. I tried Ghost of Tsushima, and I definitely couldn’t enjoy it at the performance and detail level the Deck is capable of. However, streaming it from my PS5 is still a pretty great experience. That said, it still looks better on a 4K screen.
