There are so many Switch games I'd love to catch up on…!

…on better hardware.

😪

@stroughtonsmith I pretty much exclusively play my (purchased) Switch games on my Steam Deck at this point. The emulation is excellent and I can even upscale some games and play at higher frame rates.

@jonathan @stroughtonsmith is it possible to download purchased games directly from Nintendo?

I’d love to be able to play all my purchased Switch games on my Steam Deck.

@JohnTheKea @stroughtonsmith The Yuzu emulator has a nice guide in their documentation for how you can backup your own games. It’s not the only way to get game backups, but is the way that is above board for the most part.

@jonathan @stroughtonsmith aah, that’s perfect. I think I have them all downloaded on my Switch.

It’d be really cool if I could sign into my Nintendo account from an emulator and download all my purchased games.

@JohnTheKea @stroughtonsmith There are other consoles where downloading directly from the store is possible. Just not Switch as far as I know :)
