I currently play most games thru emulators but been wondering whether it is worth it to get the Switch V1 version for handheld.

my plan would be putting the roms onto the Switch and then play handheld (is this possible?)

Playing when traveling, a few hours in bed before sleeping or cozy up next to the heather in the evening seems nice. However is it still worth around €300 euro for it, may I have your opinion on the matter?

    Everyone saying to get a deck for switch games also needs to realize that emulation isn’t perfect; many games don’t run full speed, or have issues, because the deck isn’t extremely powerful.

    But, I’d check which games you want to play and how they run on the deck first, then choose

      IME the only switch games to have significant issues on deck are the Zelda titles. Everything else works at least as well as on a switch, usually better.

      The switch isn’t very powerful either. Even with legit, licensed switch games you can experience crashes.
