Devoted Nintendo User Baffles Community With a Massive Steamdeck Hack

Nintendo is one of the oldest gaming franchises in the industry. It is home to some of the biggest consoles, such as the GameBoy, Wii U, Switch, and many more. The Japanese company invests in making top-end products to provide the ideal gaming experience to fans. However, as time passes, they deviate their fans from older products with the launch of new ones, introducing better performance in them. 

But then, there are a few fans who never let go of their devices, thinking about making some insane modifications or hacks in the future. Such has been the case with a Nintendo fan who posted a crazy picture featuring a Steam Deck alongside 3DS games. Quite impressive, right? Well, the picture left us awestruck, too, as it took us back in time when Nintendo had dropped its first-ever dual screen, the Wii U.

It all started on August 16, 2022, when an avid Nintendo gamer tried to attach his Steamdeck to a monitor. He was successful in his attempt as the game flashed on the screen in a few seconds. As a result, he uploaded a Twitter post showing off his creation, luring fans from different parts of the world. GameXData, the user also added a caption, “Can we all just take a moment to appreciate the fact that the Steam Deck can literally be used as a Wii U Gamepad?”

However, this sparked a debate in the community, as fans could not believe this Nintendo hack. So, GamexData uploaded a fresh post on August 27, confirming its attachment with a photo. “A ton of people brought it up. So, I thought I’d confirm: Yes, you can play 3DS games dual screen with a Steam Deck as the bottom screen.” 

While this was a dream come true for the OG Nintendo fans, it also caught the attention of New Blood Interactive CEO Dave. The franchise owner uploaded a Twitter post sharing the information to the community as he was happy to see the creation. “Finally, society has reinvented the WiiU,” Dave said in his Twitter post. 

With that being said, it’s just interesting to see how gaming communities come up with such creations, proving their true love for them. After all, games have become an important part of our lives, so we can always expect something unique to drop every day.
