Last week, Valve unveiled its new Steam Deck system. The device has drawn plenty of comparisons to Switch since it’s capable of playing big games on the go (with docking support as well) and in some ways reminds gamers of Nintendo’s console from a design standpoint.
Valve itself has now commented on those comparisons. Designer Greg Coomer is the first to weigh in, telling IGN that Switch a “great device,” but feels the company is targeting a different audience.
He said:
Update (7/24): This sold out for a bit on Amazon Canada but is now back up here.
Original (7/22): Amazon Canada has now opened pre-orders for the Switch OLED. Both versions are available: white and neon.
You can pre-order the Switch OLED on Amazon Canada here. The system releases on October 8.
