Nintendo exclusives will never be native on PC unless something horrible happens.

Nintendo don’t have the incentive
They’ve mastered price anchoring so their consumers always pay close to full price. Their development costs also haven’t spiraled to the same extent as other publishers
Nintendo is the only console I buy for this reason, they actually have exclusives I want and can’t on PC easily. Plus it’s a handheld

The day Nintendo puts their exclusives on PC or consoles is the day hell freezes over.
Rokwenpics
Oh we will emulate them, all in due time…

My guess is that Nintendo is gonna have a massive problem with piracy and emulation if they continue to push for higher prices in a couple of years, especially if the economy keeps trending the way it has. That’s what the Brasilian and Russian market looks like anyway – easily a good representation of what happens when you price an easily copyable product too high.

20+ years ago the bottom pic looks wouldn’t apply to PCs as they were typically beige boxes. But today’s gaming PCs can look pretty as well as perform 😁

No such thing as an uncrackable nut. Nintendo could be raking in the dough if they pulled an Xbox and set up a Nintendo E-shop on PC with stuff from the Wii and before, but since they don’t want to…
RyeBreadElux3500
Yeah I think every “console exclusive” I have wanted to play I have played on PC (including you nintendo :p)

That is why I have a switch emulator on my pc

Xbox is tom. Way bigger in size but always fail anyway.

Gonna be a while for PC to emulate switch 2 though.
crazy_griffin
Still waiting on Bloodborne though

Even nintendo’s stuff get emulated eventually. People with lots of elbow grease will find a way.

I know the name of the sub and whatever, but the degree to which some of you people like to hype yourselves up is insane, lame and sad.
WheelOfFish
They don’t make anything I care that much about anyway. And if they did there’s always emulation

Any game is a PC game if you know where to look.

Damn, we sexy AF.

I have more games on my steam account than I have time to play them. I have a Switch and it’s been years since I last played it seriously.
Chin0crix
Bloodborne tho 😔
Robborboy
And for less. With no online fees.
IronChefJesus
With enough time all games are PC games.
namesurnamesomenumba
And for free!

Most, except Uncharted 1-3, original God of War games and Bloodborne
05-nery
All of them.
Emulation always comes back.

Nintendo games aren’t really bad or anything, just not super impressive and definitely not worth a console and then a 80 dollar premium pricing per title.
VeRG1L_47
Like there’s anything worth besides 2 Zelda games on that self bricking piece of trash. And i would be damned if i buy a console just for two games.

Everyone that says we should steal Nintendo‘s products and not give them any money. I want you to seriously think about what games would be like if Nintendo never existed.
Do y’all really wanna just be stuck with call of duty and FIFA?
I actually enjoyed Nintendo‘s games. That’s why I give them money if you enjoy their products and don’t give them money you are just a thief.
You can sit around and come up with fancy words to try to make it sound like something it isn’t but at the end of the day if you steal games from Nintendo, you are just a criminal
no different than the person that steals from target

I think some publishers need to learn that the only reason PC gamers buy their games is that it is slightly more convenient than piracy. As soon as that changes nothing is stopping us.
And I’m not even talking about Linux gamers, those are a different breed. Doubt even Nintendo can stop the guy coding his own Nvidia drivers on Arch 🤣
kawaiinessa
We will wether or not its by emulation or official ports

That’s why the saying exists – in the console war, PC wins.

Uh… okay. I’ve never owned a Nintendo, and I don’t feel my life is any less for it.

I love it when my machine doesnt get bricked whenever I do shaddy stuff

What’s weirded than console wars ? A pc gamer caring enough to make something like this lol

The only thing that matters, is on August 26th will you join the fight for democracy.
The console gamers ALWAYS forget about the games exclusive to us… PC! Of course the indie market is an obvious one, but also grand strategy games quite a few of them are PC only like EU4 (soon 5) and HOI4 meanwhile American and Euro Truck Sim are also PC only and both are decently popular. Counter Strike 2 is huge and it isn’t on consoles, BeamNG Drive is also PC only. Like let’s go, whenever console fans parade their “exclusives” we can just show off our library lol. Besides anything pre 8th gen can also still run on a PC… quite often with nice resolutions and stuff at least when patched up vs consoles where they are unavailable on current gen or stuck at base 720p settings on Xbox via 360 emulation. Even then a game from 2015 odds are on PC you can do 4K high refresh pretty easy on a mid range rig but then on console? Odds are it was never updated past the base PS4 1080p 30fps settings… ouch.
And of course yeah Microsoft puts games on PC, Sony is putting games on PC faster than before (unless it’s Gran Turismo for some reason), Nintendo is the only exception but Switch 1 emulation got quite far and considering 2 already got hacked… I’m sure Switch 2 will be emulated in due time.
BiasMushroom
He… hehehe… emulation. Nintendo gets 0 money. We get it for free. If they want it to stay exclusive then we will just sail the high seas. They arent smarter then a million pissed off nerds with $4k pcs and a lot of free time
XD_002
Real talk, I mainly get Nintendo for the reason that they will never release their game since PC and I wouldn’t pirate games if they are easily and officially available
SahibTeriBandi420
Oh no I cant play Donkey Kong for 90$. Anyways…

This is so cope I had to comment and call it out.
Xbox gamers and Nintendo gamers dont typically go online criticizing other platforms.
Im a PC gamer who owns and enjoys Nintendo and Sony consoles.
It is largely the PC community, which is the most toxic and opinionated of all gamers.
Here’s my take:
Xbox: I dont much about that bro, I just game with the guys. Playstation might be cool but I only play serious games.
Playstation: Our console has the best specs! I compare everything using hardware considerations only. The most serious gamer games are playstation.
Nintendo: Nintendo may not be for everyone, but there is IP we love. Where can you take your console, anyway?
PC: F*ck you and your console or any company that inhibits me from pirating, etc.

nowadays it’s just Nintendo, XBOX is basically an extension of PCs now and Playstation ports most games to PC now
