Hello all, I was hoping to pick up a machine for 1080p gaming on a TV primarily for playing couch party games on emulators (switch, ps3, wii, etc) and was wondering if the deck would be a good fit? I've heard before that there were some problems with docks but not sure if that's been resolved. Any insight is appreciated

If you want an emulation machine for classic games, homebrew Wii can do a lot. Not sure what good options exist for switch and ps3 though.

If the game is available on the Wii U (cough Breath cough) you'll be better off using that version, but Switch has come a long way.

I don't think PS3 is very viable though, given it's power and strange architecture.
