    wanna know something funny? I emulate totk on my steam deck. I stopped playing it on original switch because the load times on steam deck are speedy compared to on original switch.

    I’m sure Totk runs fine on switch 2 if you pay 25 bucks for extra frames on a game you already paid 70 dollars for. but i don’t want to buy a console just for that.

    but I do wish there was a future where nintendo would allow it on different platforms.

    they won’t. ever. but it’d be cool.

        I was throwing numbers out. I couldn’t remember what the price to play a game you already own on a device you just spent 500 bucks on was.

        any dollar amount is absurd, frankly. well, imho anyway.

      Switch 1 emulators have come a long way honestly. Prior to my GPU reaching the age where it overheats easily I could run TOTK at 50 fps in some areas at FSR using framerate unlocking mods and my specs are fairly outdated. Obviously in more crowded areas the framerate would drop but you have to also consider I was using Yuzu which has been discontinued. There’s newer emulators which are much better and continue to be updated

        …my GPU reaching the age where it overheats easily…

        That’s not some sort of natural aging process; that’s you failing to do maintenance. Clean out the dust and/or replace the thermal paste.
