I really liked Midnight Club back on the PS2. Would be cool to find similar for the Deck.

Any racing games that the community finds good on the Deck? Is it arcadey or realistic in the mechanics?

I mainly use my Deck for racing games and actually played a lot of MC3 using PCSX2.

Pretty much every PS2 era racing game can be emulated flawlessly nowadays.

A lot of them also got PC ports but getting them and running them takes some manual tinkering. But for the older Need for Speed games the PC version is the best way to go with all the community made fixes and mods.

I've also recently played through the PSP version of Midnight Club LA and it was pretty great, felt closer to MC3 than the main HD console version.

Was coming here to mention emulation as well. I don't own a Deck, so not sure how it does with PS2 emulation, but if it's good then OP could just play the MC games instead of alternatives.

It's runs PS2 perfectly at 2x resolution and 60fps. The only game I had problems with was Snake Eater.
