My question is mostly for games available on Steam that you would still prefer to play on Switch. I imagine performance should be better on the deck for native/proton games, but there might be something else I am missing.
Local multiplayer games and Switch exclusives.
Switch is the my best option for local multiplayer games because I don’t want to explain what a steam deck is or how I got Mario Kart to run on it. Everyone at the party knows what a switch is and you can easily round up a few drunk friends (nerds or casuals) to play some kart or smash just by showing people you brought one. :)
Why do they need to know what it is though? My deck works great for local because I dont need 4 of the same type of controller. Everyone gets a random one and we’re off
Whenever possible, all of them. The switch may be underpowered, but for the majority of games it doesn’t matter. The deck feels unpleasantly oversized, like the original original Xbox controller or the game gear, and awareness of it’s presence doesn’t fade into the background no matter how long I’m playing. The switch is a joy in comparison.
Super Smash Bros Ultimate. How else am I supposed to end friendships?
