I didnt get the Nintendo Switch at launch.
That may come as a surprise, but my finances were a little different then.
Instead, I first got my hands on it shortly after the release ofSuper Mario Odyssey.
For years afterward, it came with me everywhere I went, and became my go-to console.
Or side-loading the equipment with a multitude of apps and other gaming platforms, fromNvidiaGeForce Now to Battle.net.
Can my Switch do that?
When I played a Steam Deck for the first time the handheld was already six years old.
Ninty has built a reputation for ignoring the push for more pixels and faster framerates.
This feature made the original Switch perfect for multiplayer family fun, something the Steam Deck cant match.
Other than mobile platforms, Nintendo doesnt release its first-party titles anywhere but on its own hardware.
Want to playMario Kart 9, which might be on its way?
But those consoles are always there for when I want to transcend the uppermost limits of modern gaming.
