Do I get this on the switch or here??????

[Sanctified Reach 420]

Which would be better?

How important is portability for you?

If it is important, get the switch version, otherwise get the PC version. Both the Switch version and PC version seem well optimized.

Keep in mind that the PC version will most likely end up with mods. And the Switch is 5 years old. Nintendo may very well announce a new system next year. So the PC version will probably age better.

PC so it's yours forever, and it can most likely be played portable on Steam Deck.

I'm honestly going to double dip and get both, though I'll probably get it on PC later if/when mods are around. However, I'm getting it on Switch because it's the perfect kind of game for a portable system and these kinds of games benefit from being able to just put the system into sleep mode when you've had enough rather than having to find a save point to jump out.

That said, from the sound of reviews neither choice is a poor one; and seeing more of these classic games coming to accessible platforms and maybe even seeing more of their type is reason for me to buy it again at some point.

I'll never buy another cross platform title on the Switch. I just don't want my games stuck on a system that one day won't be in production and I might have my download cut off from me. Now that I have a Deck it's no question on which platform I will buy my games on if they are available.

If portability is a factor get a steamdeck and get the best of both worlds...

Right there with you, my switch is sadly collecting dust.

I just wish they would say when/if the Front Mission remakes are coming to PC so I won't double dip it.

Depends on what ecosystem you prefer. I'm sure it will perform the same on Switch and PC, seeing as it's not a very demanding game. If you have an OLED Switch and care about portability, it's going to look nicer there. It's cheaper on PC if you buy it from Green Man Gaming...

I prefer PC.

Not sure if this'll work on Steam Deck, but I'd imagine so.
In which case, you can have both mods and portability!

We don't know if they have a steam deck. My assumptions are that they got a Desktop PC and Switch.

And if they dont have one, if they find a steam deck to be worth the price of admission.

Steamdeck is still wildly unavailable in a lot of countries too, it's still way to early to consider it as something that can just be picked up from a shelf, similar the the PS5 situation IMO.

Still twiddling my thumbs here wondering when Valve well 'let' me purchase one..

Correct. Steam Deck is not available where I live.

I was considering getting one, but between the lack of availability and the fact that I already have a gaming laptop, made me consider against it.

Still great piece of hardware but, for now there is no rush.

[Black Hammer]

Normally I'd get this on Switch, but I've already got a lineup of timesink games on there as long as my arm.

[Stormblossom]

I would get a Steam deck, but now that I'm working from home, having portability isn't a high priority for the moment.
