I like your photo with a beautiful sun filled landscape, but Animal Crossing takes centre stage 😄

I've rarely used my original Switch in handheld mode actually, but I never felt it was a problem playing on it, just never for prolonged periods. Having a slightly larger screen and joy cons sounds like it would be a bit more comfortable.

Tomtoc cases are my favourites too, I own them for both Switches (OLED and Lite)!

I so wish they did more colours for the steam deck. I'd probably have several for that too. :D They are such great cases and they have also iterated on them and upgraded some materials which I like

Nice! 👍 Great to read about it as a primary mode of gaming and how you use it. I had a wild big indie game back log on my switch before I sold it.

Now I am buying them again on steam dirt cheap haha 😂

I don't use mine portably often but I have also found the screen to be fine, if less vibrant than the original Switch OLED

A lot of these outlets complaining about the screen were hsing slow-motion cameras to pick out barely perceptible visual faults

I just watched another comparison and yeah they are using these fancy cameras 😅🤣 I didn’t realise that until I just saw it and you confirmed it. Haha

It’s been absolutely fine and I think it’s a great handheld console as it’s very much like my steam deck now especially using the grips I have. ☺️

The lengths some of these publications will go to hate on the Switch 2 is hilarious; if I can't perceive these flaws with my own eyes... than who cares?!

It's definitely been great so far, the battery life is a shame but from what I've heard, it's kind of a universal problem at the moment, I think Valve were saying they didn't want to make a Steam Deck 2 until new battery technology was more available.
