Steam Deck is going to be the ultimate portable for playing the best Japanese games on the go. I'm seeing a lot of Japanese interest for it, both from gamers and developers. I can finally complete my backlog of Yakuza and FromSoft games on it. Also it will be great for playing PSO2, Final Fantasy 14 and Monster Hunter World on the go. The Switch will be fine, but aside from Nintendo 1st party, everything else will be better played on the Steam Deck.

Original skyward sword controls always seemed like a bizarre choice. Couple that with the narrative and I only got halfway through it. I am interested to give it another shot on switch, though, now that I don't have to swing the remote
