Switch V1 still worth it in 2024? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

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?

I'm a massive fan of my V1 Switch. There's an insane library of games available for Switch, and I've played it fairly regularly since launch. Problem is doing what you want to do with it. The Switch is not a platform that supports emulation in a way that's user friendly or enjoyable.

If you want a handheld with all of the bells and whistles for emulation, get a steam deck.
