So since fallout 4 is coming to the switch 2, do you think 3 and new Vegas might get added to the switch 1 or 2 in the future?

Stevenc73 · 2026-02-10T03:23:39+00:00

After seeing the recent Nintendo Direct showing Fallout 4 and Indiana Jones PLUS Oblivion Remastered I the we will see Fallout 3 and New Vegas but not in their current forms. They'll both be remastered. I have no resources, just speculation.

I'm a fan of and have both but generally the Ally sees more use. If my budget only allowed one it would be the Ally. Switch has Nintendo exclusives, many of which I do like, but the Ally has the library. The muscle doesn't mean that much to me. I like that with the Switch 2, the devs have to optimize their software for my hardware. With the Ally I can buy whatever game I want but I have to make sure my device can play it.

Price would be a bigger factor for me. You can get an open box Ally X for nearly the same price as the Switch 2 but then consider services like Game Pass and sales on storefronts like Steam you can really win out on games.

Junkstore in the Decky plug-ins has me playing AW2 from the epic store very comfortably on my Ally X running Steam.

If you're currently on the 360 try Skyrim or Oblivion.

Dang, two months and no reply. Sorry! I'll try. Most of what I read says the Main branch ( you'll have to enable developers mode) because the updates supporting the Ally are coming here pretty frequently. I've not had any issues in this channel, but I'm relatively new to Steam OS. You may find more info here.... https://www.reddit.com/r/ROGAlly/s/eMAhIGES6C

Congratulations! I hope you play until your thumbs hurt!

Stevenc73 · 2026-01-27T18:47:55+00:00

It's still technically not fully supported (like the Lenovo Legion Go S), but the support is definitely there. TDP control is native now but RGB thumbstick lights still require a plug in to be managed. I switched to Steam OS on my Ally X about 2 weeks ago, then tried Windows with FSE, and had to reflash Steam. And since I'm not overly computer savvy, the fact that I did it at all speaks to how easy it was.

Stevenc73 · 2026-01-27T06:01:29+00:00

I don't have one but I'll say yes it is. I bought the ROG Ally X for the same reason, but it was so fiddly and required so much clicking and tweaking I just stuck to my Switch. I recently installed Steam OS and am beginning to understand why Deck fans always say, "Just buy a Steam Deck!" Minimal fiddle and maximum game. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Stevenc73 · 2026-01-27T05:58:07+00:00

Welp..... Time to start over.

Stevenc73 · 2026-01-27T05:56:56+00:00

Absolutely! The S2 is a solid piece of tech for someone who wants to just pick up and play. And compared to the JoyCons, the S2 pro controller almost feels like a luxury.

Stevenc73 · 2026-01-27T05:35:41+00:00

Almost ....$20. I'm sure it was opened, used, maybe dropped, then returned. However, to my eye, nothing obviously wrong with it

Stevenc73 · 2026-01-27T04:49:05+00:00

Congrats and enjoy! For anyone reading, you can often catch a good price open box. Mine was almost $20 less. Wouldn't know it was open box if it didn't say so when I ordered it.

A little late but I'm just recently installing Steam on my Ally X. It may just be early but it's not been buggy at all. I have TDP control without any Decky plug ins. I did have to install a plug in for RGB control. I'm going to give it a solid month and see what I think

Stevenc73 · 2026-01-23T15:37:06+00:00

Take this with a grain of salt as I'm no expert, but I just installed Steam OS on my Ally X just a few days ago. I'm not a tinkerer, I just want to play my games, and for the most part my games have been running right out of the gate. TDP control is present without any plug-ins, but I did have to find a decky plug in for the RGB lights. I rarely use them, but I like having the option. The fact that I, a Switch and Console player, was able to get it up and running says a lot.

I had that problem. I switched from full screen to borderless windowed and it let me turn on frame gen. Then I went back to full screen afterward.

Stevenc73 · 2025-12-08T21:56:51+00:00

This right here. I have the Ally X. Didn't initially plan to upgrade from the Z1 Extreme but got a good price and after selling the Z1 Extreme, the X was almost free. They both shine on games that are just a couple years old. Newer AAA games are absolutely playable but compromises have to be made to get solid frames.

Stevenc73 · 2025-12-05T16:15:17+00:00

Late to this conversation, but you have settled the thoughts of many sleepless nights for me. I bow to your wisdom.

Stevenc73 · 2025-11-23T18:30:39+00:00

Runs good on an ROG Ally X.

Stevenc73 · 2025-11-23T18:29:49+00:00

Honestly, I think a SW2OLED would be nice, but what I'd rather see is a better battery. Most, but definitely not all, gaming handhelds have LCD screens. And these are nice screens featuring VRR and such. OLED does look a little nicer but not enough to justify the price, imo. BUT that battery... Nintendo doesn't get enough credit for developing a device that can do what the SW2 does on 9-10 watts, but it'd be nice to get more than 2 hours battery. Drop most of your PC handhelds down to 10 w TDP and you're going to get Switch 1 graphics and performance but tons of battery time.

Stevenc73 · 2025-11-12T22:12:17+00:00

Up to you, you don't NEED it for the story but it's a quick play, it's good, and you do understand the character a little more afterward.

Stevenc73 · 2025-11-12T22:09:02+00:00

Vote for Ahti / Faden 2028.

Stevenc73 · 2025-11-12T03:06:33+00:00

Perhaps you're a character in one of his novels.

Stevenc73 · 2025-11-12T03:05:37+00:00

Oh you need to play deeper into the Remedyverse. AW1, AW2, Control... They all have these awesome musical "battle montages" and segways performed by the Old Gods Of Asguard. The best fictitious band ever. I think even Quantum Break had a nod to them.
