[Question] Switch and Deck users, which games do you still prefer to play on switch?
My question is mostly for games available on Steam that you would still prefer to play on Switch. I imagine performance should be better on the deck for native/proton games, but there might be something else I am missing.

There's not a game I prefer on the Switch over the Deck but I do think both systems have their merits. I've played through Zelda TotK on Switch recently and play my Deck more often (lately a lot of BG3)
The Deck is honking huge, while the switch is small. I much prefer the size of the Deck to the Switch but there's a an easy argument to be made there for portability.
The Switch is just more dock-friendly. Any serious Switch owner (who would care about docking) owns a Pro Controller. Docking to and undocking from a TV just works perfectly 100% of the time. You can buy a dock for the Steam Deck and you could Bluetooth a controller but it's definitely more finicky - specifically with some games especially.
Multi-person household. I have a wife and a kid. I'm very fortunate and my wife has her own Deck but we do share a Switch and a PS5. There were dozens of times I would have played Zelda or FF16 but my wife was using the console so I settled with my Deck. I could easily see the opposite happening if we didn't each own our own Steamdeck
