@Cee_Nelly3 years ago One other thing you didn' t bring up about nintendo is that nintendo designs its consoles so they are profitable from launch. When was the last time nintendo is in a really unique position as they are and i think porting their games to pc will only hurt them. Then the conversation will shift to how much better the games look and play on pc over the console and i don' t think nintendo wants that. ...Expand 14

@nimander54833 years ago As he said, a lot of the nintendo business model has been to make hardware with some interesting features, and then make games that work well with that that is why a lot of 3rd party games do not get ported to nintendo consoles, the console is not designed for mainstream gaming, the console is designed to be something different from the rest of the market.
this goes back to the wii with motion controls and even beyond to the gamecube that was designed with a handle to make it easy to carry it with you and play on a friends tv. The gamecube had a lot of good multiplayer games to cater for this. ...Expand 9

@nuclearbeeberman3 years ago Haha this theory is so good. Because microsoft and sony do make stupid decisions (bring their exclusives to pc) nintendo should do the same?
the it' s ver short sighted to bring stuff to pc since it will be there forever. Nintendo sells us this year zelda 1 for the 298402 times and it works. Because you want it on all systems but if you sell it on pc it' s there forever. Good for the people who bought it there but not good for nintendo. ...Expand 5

@juanmanuelesis97973 years ago As long as nintendo has a high focus onsales they will keep their games exclusive to their consoles. Without their exclusives, their consoles would be obsolete or at least they will lose a lot of value just like xbox one, series x|s and now ps5.
so as oj said, companies have pride. Nintendos pride can tolerate people calling their consoles obsolete, low value, not worthy, etc. If the answer is yes, they will do the same as xbox and playstation. If the answer is no, well you better keep buying nintendo consoles to play their games. ...Expand 3

@jairiske3 years ago I would like to see older titles ported to pc. Nintendo has been setting a precedent recently of withholding official releases for decades old titles, besides that though, there are a lot of benefits to porting to a pc. Modding would become far easier and way more accessible. This has a wide range of uses from adding more controller options for those who are disabled, all the way to creating entire fan sequels. ...Expand

@traceries52013 years ago I think that article misses a fundamental point about how nintendo views its own ecosystem. There is absolutely no way that they want first party games r there is parity for playstation and xbox, especially on this new gen, but for nintendo i think the difference would be substantial enough to do harm to the brand and sales of hardware.
maybe if they had cross saves on everything so that people would want a pc and a switch and also buy two copies of the gamethat sounds financially beneficial but i still think the ego hit of seeing mario blaze across a pc looking better than on a switch would be too much for them to take. Fan hacks have already made them look bad by exceeding the performance of special edition rereleases on occasion. ...Expand
