Im not trying to argue the deck is better than the switch or vice versa, handheld pc and handheld console markets don't exactly always overlap, and where they do, theres plenty of usefulness in both devices simultaneously, im merely pointing out that valve's approach is much more consumer friendly even though it sabotages their 30% steam store cut. having access to android improves the switch, im not talking mobile games, im talking using discord directly on the switch, video and photo editors for your switch game captures that are much more feature filled, plus emulating backups of your own games from past nintendo systems.

would be nice if nintendo supported removing their proprietary store from the switch and supported installing android, better yet, booting android off of sd card like steam deck can do with windows. including removing steam entirely from the deck, it's supported windows for almost a year now. this is simply valve showing they support users doing whatever they want with their hardware. if a nintendo game was shown running or art assets of a nintendo game were shown in the icon, then there could be a case for copyright/ip infringement. It's an icon of an emulator, there's no possible way nintendo has any legal grounds to do anything. Do you want Nintendo to sue Nintendo Life? I highly recommend you read up on your local laws about the subject, because you seem to be missing a lot of info!Īnd why take umbrage with it, now? Nintendo Life has promoted several emulation devices in their articles.

Otherwise, Microsoft and the community that update Linux would also be sued by Nintendo, because emulators have been running on Windows, Linux and Mac for literal decades. They also cannot take legal action because an emulator runs on an OS. And Valve is simply advertising 'hey, this thing runs on our OS.' Because Yuzu is built from scratch, Nintendo CANNOT take legal action against the emulation creator, because it is now their own official program data. Thing with Yuzu, by itself, it's totally fine. Nobody bats an eye about emulating entire OSes. It's done in technology businesses around the world. So you can run Windows on a Mac, or run Linux on Windows for example. On any of those systems, you can emulate the other using a virtual machine. Take for example Windows, Linux, and Mac OS.

Fri 7th Oct Valve can totally promote emulation.
