Almost any indie title works flawlessly – I can highly recommend Absolute Drift and Art of Rally by the way, stunning games – and even larger titles like No Mans Sky runs mostly fine too. While it’s not exactly 4090 levels of performance (it’s actually smaller than a 4090, funnily enough), it’s enough to play any game I’d actually want to play on a device like this.

Being able to hand the Deck to my wife to play the original Gamecube version of Animal Crossing – something she can’t play unless we buy a Gamecube, then somehow adapt it to work with a modern TV, then only play it while at home. Want to play Pokemon Emerald – my childhood game of choice? Great, use Emudeck to install the emulator, copy the ROM and get cracking. The thing is, this can play any of the games you played as a kid. I’ve been using portable consoles for over two decades – as I’m sure many of you have.
