I would pick Nintendo, I can't live without Mario, Zelda, Splatoon, and other classics.

Probably one that runs windows or something else like Linux. The ROG handheld or the Logitech handheld would be good. If I didn't have to pay for it I would definitely get the steam deck.

Rog ally fr

yeah but obv the ROG is better as it literally does what the steam deck does but better

@@ayanrahman9371 there I have to disagree with you, ROG might have better components, but what Steam has, is it's own software that was designed specificly with battery economy in it's mind and the support from the Devs, I am really curious if Cyberpunk will run on ROG Ally as smooth as on Steam Deck. Even tough the steam deck on paper is underpowered i would still pick it.

@@NFSAndrei exactly this

More logical to compare it to the Steam Deck. What a way to drop the ball. 😑

more ayeneos. switch is made for regular consumer who wants simple

Exactly, I like many Switch games, but Nintendo has been a toy company for over a hundred years. Their target has always been families with children, so they market to children. Asus is a computer component and hardware manufacturer who has never marketed to children. It would’ve been better to compare this to other handheld PCs.

Yeah the whole time I was like what the hell is he talking about? =)) I'm waiting for ETA prime's comparison video. and retrogamescorpes to see understand how much power we have here.

also the fact that the switch is so underpowered most modern phones can emulate it with decent fps

Tbh tech youtubers talking about gaming stuff feels like Verizon or Google Stadia at E3 where you can tell they don’t quite “get it”

But you still can't ignore the vast amount of adults who use switch, like there is clearly a crossover between the demographic targetted by nintendo and Asus and it ain't children.

Or it blew up

Remember, No Taiwanese 💀

Usually at a bad price…

You mean Asus?

Better hope it doesn't use armoury crate

I recommend watching the Ltt video that compares the rog and the switch. It goes much more in-depth

@@JustChillinxd just went to comment the same thing :P

Steam deck is a blatend rip off

@@Inksploded little guy must be smoking something before typing this lmao

​@@Inksploded bro You must be on smtn Steam deck came first

no

If you don't count motherboards

if you don't count their motherboard division

I can't believe he didn't play Genshin on the ROG switch. For those who don't know, Genshin had been to teasing a Nintendo version for a while now, and it still hasn't come. I don't use a switch so I don't care much lol.

Not with Motherboards lol

Oh so to say it is for adults..., no matter how juvenile

This and the big ignoring of the existence of the steam deck just proved that Arun didn't really make his full research before making this video. And also that he is probably not that big of a gamer himself, or at least not a PC gamer.

This is why I don't like his reviews when it comes to these tech stuff there are a lot of often important things he missed in the review

​@@azenyr I feel like there's huge value for these devices to be used by regular people. Because if normie who only plays with Switch or phone picks this up, what is their experience with this device? So I feel like they would've almost done disservice with review by doing too much research as consumer would have to do same research, just the framing of the video "which is better" with scoring system makes these kind of factual inconsistancies pop up harsh. So what I personally think happened is that they just opened and used this device, which means they most likely used Asus proprierary software to manage and launch game - which then means even Steam games get opened through desktop mode. This is why Steam Deck is so praised as it's all Big Picture essentially and to go to desktop you have to specifically go to desktop, so even new to PC gamers would not have these kind of issues. I don't know if there is or if Steam can implement it so that external launchers can launch games in Big Picture mode instead, so people using this device as sold, using Asus ROG build in software like Asus intents, this might be a problem normie tier users get with their device unless they realize to stop using the launcher and use Steam Big Picture instead.

Plus the fact that he had games library on a tie had me burst out laughing. And on the same note on price including games, and accessories, most ppl already have a game library they can play out the box on ally and don't have to fetch out $50+ for a game like Nintendo and their accessories are no where near cheap. Ally would have more to come and third parties will start making plus existing things that already works with pc, works with Ally. ie Asus xg mobile gpu, external HD, keyboard/mouse.. heck u can turn it into a full on PC as your main and take it with you with just a usb c unplugged. He literally tried too hard to make these 2 a tie to create controversy

​@@graszI think he meant for game library what are the game options for that specific device. Not quantity, but what it is available. While the ROG has Steam and emulators, there are still other alternatives, while Nintendo is exclusive, you can't really play those games if you don't own one. Let's take in consideration that Arun owns lots of devices and lots of them are capable of running Steam, while the Switch is on its own. I totally disagree with him about prices, the switch is too much pricey than ROG+Steam games

But then somehow the steam deck was compared to the switch when it was released even tho they were trying to target a different audience 🤷

​@@Emma_madison true, but this was when a Portable PC was First Released into the Mainstream Market. Before the Steamdeck, Nintendo was the Sole Competitor of the Portable Console Market. But the Steamdeck revolutionized Everything because it offered PC Games with the same Portability of the Switch. This why the Steamdeck was Compared to the Switch, basically put, "Hey, we have a product that has the same Portability of the Switch...BUT can play PC Games". Now with the Ally it basically Needs to be compared to the Steamdeck because the Steam deck set the Universal Standard of Portable PC Consoles.

​@@typhoon_8086 he is doing it because most of his audience are Apple consooooming Nintendo virgins.

But you also forgot its double the price.

and the switch has better games@@BembelinCz

also most people are willing to have a portable charger with them on long trips anyway. Also for most things its literally a portable PC.

Dude its a pc you don't have to purchase any game at all... 🤔 jokes aside, it can and will also emulate every game on the switch perfectly fine so the switch is not at all competitive with the Ally. I would still pick the steam deck tho. Windows is not a good choice for a handheld like this. Too heavy, too bloated for that.

​@@azenyr 🏴‍☠️

TAY! What a legend

And sounds quite possible

Very true

@@manden3283 Welp Nintendo has been coming up with the craziest ideas ever since the Game Boy or something

That wouldn't work. Look at the current Switch's size and aspect ratio. It's too big to be a smartphone. If they make the screen smaller for the next-gen system, most people would see it as a downgrade.

Yeah, that stuck button looks particularly like it could be something that will rear it's head and require fixing in later revisions.

This is how I approach nearly every new tech product.

This is something I was always taught with cars. Never buy the first new model or refresh year. Always wait a year to see what bugs arise.

100%, the thing looks awesome especially if you limit it to 60hz and lower the graphics a bit to make the battery last. But I'll probably buy it near the end of the year instead.

Kind of like how the refine there motherboards.

yeah, in the accessories section " the types of controllers" really had me scratching my head.

This is what I came to say, the switch has been out for so many years now, and since it's a Nintendo console, it has a million more users then a handheld "PC" device. Being so popular and being so old, of course it has so many accessories

And don't forget, an entire point went to the switch because he preferred the box it came in... I feel like this should have been a normal comparison without the points. Obviously, they wanted to make it a tie from the beginning... the video would have served better as a normal comparison video for anyone deciding between the two.

I'd never have called Nintendo accessories cheap but each to their own.

But that's what almost everyone is doing already.

I'd go for the switch and just use a gaming laptop for my pc games

Buy the steam deck for that, its cheaper

Been doing just that with the Steam Deck for over a year.

sane

@@AngelTorres-vu2iz Dont buy the highest tier its not worth It lol

Correct, the game has always had issues lol

this Mrwhosetheboss dude has no idea about gaming 😂😂

​@@astronaut5009because this isn't a gaming channel kiddo

It doesn't seem like Arun did any research at all besides a very specific script for this video. Many times it really felt like he had no idea what he was talking about

@@azenyr I might buy it though.

You shouldn't have to change the buttons though, they should just...work

@@thatsplatcat861 they do. But very very rarely (like 1/1,000,000) they don’t. But then you can change it like I said

@@thatsplatcat861 you also shouldn't have to play games at sub 720 while barely hitting 30fps.

It doesnt have nintendo games. So why would I get this micro laptop?

@@kyohiromitsu4010but then again you can emulate all the Nintendo games you want such as: switch, Wii u, Wii, Nintendo 64, 3ds, ds, GameCube plus the fact it is a full portable pc that can play pc games really well hd use the internet for browsing and UKposts

You should wait because the Rog Ally is having serious issues like overheating that is burning the sd cards, joystick deadzone, that’s the thing with this videos, they should tell you that the biggest difference between these two devices is control quality, experience making portables and long term reliability.

That could come with a pretty simple software update, just in a month alone the Ally has improved substantially with updates, Nintendo simply releases hotfixes and nothing substantial has even changed, there isn't even any themes to pick or buy

But you can just turn the power button off and the fan also turns off which works fine then you can resume playing your game when you want when you press the power button again

Good

i am a digital nomad, so i dont't have a constant home. in this case i cannot buy a pc or ps5 and just carry it around with me. so the asus rog ally is really a great invention for me.

And the poor people dont have a house and live in the streets...and they prefer food than this handling console..whats the point of this??

I honestly dont mind having it plugged in all the time

@@akstyles well the console is made for gaming yes i would rather have food than have it but i think its a good thing for gamers and if you can't afford it then just don't buy it as it is pricey

I prefer the flow x13 - its more powerful and also very portable

Yep. Unfortunately, people care too much about graphics.

tbh I feel like this is coming from Aruns extremely casual point of view. A lot of gamers are like Arun who don't play older games especially when some of them are such a hassle to get playing (trust me, I'd know). But yes there are timeless games and I do think its a bit of a close minded statement honestly as someone who sees games as art. But I don't blame Arun for saying that especially because he definitely doesn't have time to play most games, let alone older ones that are hard to get running even on PC. There are some games that are better than their older counterparts but also games that are better than newer ones, and then there's just the ones in between that aren't neither worse, nor better, just good games. Just what Arun values is different than us, and I don't think he entierly means older games aren't just as good, but probably just not worth his time to get into with his lifestyle, and thats okay.

@@kahp1072 But the crazy thing is that many older games still look better than many games today. No one tell me that Castlevania SotN or Super Mario World aren’t stunning. Heck, even BioShock and Uncharted 2 have way more atmosphere and intentional design than nearly all modern games. I remember my wife seeing me playing Skyrim when we were newly weds. She said it looked ugly, because it was getting old by that point. Then I convinced her to give it a try. A few months later I noticed she had put 115 hours into it. People that don’t play games because they don’t look good are usually just not open minded.

I still play PS1, PS2 and GBA every now and then. They are good, regardless of graphics.

...but you can't discredit them.

Honestly, price-wise the Steam Deck seems like a better deal. But it does look good.

😂 preinstalled malware it's in motherboard so u need to change whole motherboard it's high level malware you are not able to detect with any antivirus

Nah, as for the portability goes, battery life is still the main factor. What's the point of having portable gaming PC if it only lasts less than 2hrs for gaming. Might as well buy gaming laptops.

Go for the Steam Deck then, it's cheaper, has more polished OS and is better than the Ally in general

​@@CarthagoMike How lmao

Nintendo gon be getting the next console some nice 16gb ram with 40 series mobile gpu type of power and ofcourse 64GB storage all for $350

Atleast i hope so

The non-oled has 16 and the oled has 32, check your sources.

@@MhMh-ri3ischeck YOUR sources, mine: I literally own an OLED switch and it literally says 64GB of internal storage and my friend owns a non OLED switch which has 32GB of internal storage and you can even google it and it will say the same

@@MhMh-ri3isI would recommend checking YOUR sources, mine source: I (and another of my friends) literally own a oled switch and it has 64GB of internal storage, my different friend owns a non-oled switch and it has 32GB of internal storage. Also you can just google it and first thing that pops up proves you wrong. If your source is this video then it's wrong, everyone can make mistakes but don't try to correct someone without checking your sources first. If you still don't believe me than what is your source then? Is it more believable than me literally owning a oled switch, and my friend a non-oled switch.

You’re right. I admit defeat

Personally for me switch is the most comfortable device ever. You play for an hour and can't feel your hands anymore. Ally is a different story altogether.

I was thinking that lmao

is for me?? 🥺 👉👈

By that time the next nintendo console will release with what i assume would be cheaper than the ally

give it a year or two and the new ROG Ally will likely fry the CPU lmao, look at ROG Motherboard.

Chips will become more efficient? The Ally is a lot less efficient than the Steam Deck that's more than a year old. Chips could get more efficient, but for today standard the Ally is inefficient and not the bleeding edge

In a year or two all those people who bought the Ally for power will buy the latest hot powerful handheld that releases by that time.

Asus gave me a messed up 300 dollar motherboard

Absolutely! I have both a high end 40 series pc and both next gen consoles im looking forward to the customization and just to experience my pc games in bed and relax and then again I don’t mind having it plugged into a wall lol

Good luck paying that much money for an almost experimental device, in no way this devices have the quality control and testing that Nintendo products have, for example, the Rog Ally is having serious issues like overheating and damage to the sd cards, it’s your choice but I don’t dare to spend money on this portables

@@natanhaelalvarado6137 for the pc gamers that can afford the price that is not a problem. About the SD cards, my ROG ally is working perfectly and I have no problems with the SD card. Also, ASUS is one of the world's best and most respected consumer electronics companies, so they should have good quality control, especially since the ROG is not a console but a handheld PC. The ROG and Switch are two different products designed for two different audiences.

@@nobu191 I have a switch but i can respect your opinion. It depends on person to person, nintendo isn't meant to be compared to serious gaming handhelds, they are family/kids-typish since family consoles is what they cater for. If they did really care they would definitely put alot of effort into the switch to make it that. Im not a serious gamer, and i like portability and like having friends play with me so yeah nintendo switch just suits me better than steamdeck, Aya Neo, Asus ROG Ally.

The comparison here was idiotic to say the least. Console vs PC Gaming handheld.. both built for a specific market. I love my Ally and didn't think twice about spending the money on it. I also spent around $400 upgrading it and adding accessories. I use my switch when I want to console game and my steam deck when I don't need the power but still want to game lightly. This video was an apples to oranges comparison and was only made to make the Nintendo fanboys salivate. Seems to have worked.

It is a bit disappointing the Steam Deck was not in the comparison though.

Yeah bro said 32 GB then sponcered his neck fan I was like wtf??😂😂

Not to mention you can get a microSD card which, for $40-$50, you can get 512gb.

And also game sizes - RDR2 is what over 100gb?? You can squeeze a good chunk of Nintys 1st party library on 64gb

Switch is old steam deck is new it's not fair comparison, wait for nintendo nextgen console and then you can compare it to steam deck.

You know a channel is sold out when they praising so much shit about the lcd screen but in the end avoid mentioning that the ally is still having a lcd instead of oled.

@@fantasytky28 WAIT WHAT

Comment, hearted ??

huh

@shre6619 Yeahhh!!! I'm super hyped!!! 😆

@hiddenguy67 Hey, have you heard of a portable AC that can detect your mood and adjust the temperature and mode accordingly? Sounds like science fiction, right? But my mom tried it out and swears by it! She used to get all hot and bothered while cooking and doing housework, but now with AICE3, she stays cool and calm. It's like having your own personal emotional support system! Plus, it's perfect for those long gaming sessions when you need some heat therapy. Trust me, this thing is a game-changer!💥

@@NikiLawrance why do u sound like an advertisement lol

lol a "massive issue"? Still, the Ally has a better screen overall, like stated on the video

Its becouse every game its pc 22:44

@@oscarg.5793 what

@@efedevirgen5835 every game is from pc so of course it will drain it battery faster

I’m shocked at how affordable they made it. Being able to emulate all of the greatest games of all time is a benefit that can’t be compared. If I’m playing on a long plane trip anyway, most planes have a power connection at your seat. I personally go the laptop route, because I use it for work and other volunteer side things, but if you don’t want a laptop, this is absolutely perfect.

buy me one 😭lol

Wait, did ROG release something that isn't good, however overpriced for once?
