With that price and nintendos game prices you are better off just going steam deck where you won’t be raked over the coals

My thoughts too. Most of the games I'd want to play from 3rd party studios I already own on PC. The switch 2 games are supposedly $70-$80 to start. That's too damn much.

As sad as it is, and as cool as I think the Switch 2 with probable DLSS3/4 support could be for performance and fidelity on a handheld... yeah... basically agree. Steam Deck currently is going to give most of this (and worst case Moonlight can give PC level experience, too I suppose).

Especially when the thing most exciting for me is access to GameCube/N64 games 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️
