In this week’s Nintendo Watcher Podcast, Matthew and Justin talk about the latest “Switch Killer” on the market: Valve’s Steam Deck!

The Watchers have put the better part of a month into their new Steam Decks and wanted to test whether the rumors were true. Is Nintendo under threat from a real competitor? Will the Switch lose a place in the Watcher’s gaming rotation? Are horizontal thumbstick placements back to stay?

Well… not quite.

Matthew and Justin discuss the triumphs and failure’s of the latest high-performance handheld, a system that serves as the perfect complement to Nintendo’s flagship porta-console. If you are a Nintendo fan looking to expand your gaming library, but you can’t get ahold of a PS5, XBOX, or don’t want to shell out the money for a brand new PC, the Steam Deck is the perfect addition to your library. Heck, even if you can get ahold of one of the above items, Valve’s new handheld just might be the best addition of the bunch.
