With Nintendo Switch Online having emulators like gba and 64 etc. Would you play those versions or would you continue to emulate those games on another device? (beehaw.org)

I got an OLED SWITCH for Christmas and I've been diving into the emulated games. So much fun but I normally emulate games on my miyoo mini plus or pc.

I'm wondering which device do you prefer to use?

I usually emulate on my Steam Deck. I still have a Nintendo Online subscription going as it's required for multiplayer (hate that that's a thing), but I rarely use the emulators. I wouldn't pay for the Online+ subscription, it doesn't seem good value to me.

I'm in a similar boat. Before I had my Steam Deck, I played retro Nintendo games on the Switch. However now I prefer to move between my Steam Deck, PSPi6, and Anbernic handhelds (depending on what I want to emulate). It's annoying that you can't get the save files off the Switch, though. I have some games that I got pretty far into, and I would like to move those over.
