>Sony accepted defeat and is releasing their games on PC
>Microsoft is on the verge of exiting the home console market and are making a handheld PC

When is Nintendo going to stop being stubborn and start releasing their games on Steam?

Lol you WISH!

>>712490598 (OP)
Well the joycon mouse feature would make one think there's a possibility. They also just broke launch sales records with the Switch 2. So I feel I can say with certainty that it's not happening in the next 8 years...if ever.

>>712490598 (OP)
They would rather release more phone games than to put their stuff on PC.

lmao, never probably, you will die before nintendo releases their games on pc

>OP doesn't know
When nintendo starts getting more debts than profits, there may be a chance.

>>712490598 (OP)
Hopefully never. The idea of americans getting a 30% cut out of the Japanese gaming market and expanding their funneling of wealth away from other countries is too disgusting.

>>712490598 (OP)
Nintendo would rather be a holding company that never releases any products than do this and has said as such

>>712490598 (OP)
whats the point? nintendo knows you can just emulate their games super fucking easy anyways and that it's just going to be susceptible to piracy on their ports. they also dont want to give a cut to steam or any other storefront and god knows making a simple game launcher is just retardedly hard to every company imagineable.

>>712490598 (OP)
Valve will exit the industry before Nintendo screencap this post.

>>712490598 (OP)
I think the joycon mouse was a soft backup for if the Switch 2 was a total failure but it wasn't, so no.

>>712490598 (OP)
After the Switch 2 fails.

>>712490598 (OP)
So will someone risk making a Switch 2 Yuzu? It's the same to me either way

It's so funny seeing how PlayStation and Xbox have become shitty publishers that also sell hardware. Nintendo is the only traditional video game company left and it seems to be working. Who could've guessed?

>>712490598 (OP)
If Nintendo ever releases their games on pc I’ll tattoo Mario on my left buttock, if it’s on steam and not their own store front I’ll tattoo Luigi on my right one as well

>>712490598 (OP)
Next gen probably. That's why they're milking Switch 2 prices so hard.

>>712490598 (OP)
Nintendo should release games on Steam, but not Mario, Animal Crossing, Spaltoon, Pokemon, or Zelda. Instead they should release Fire Emblem, Xenoblade, Metroid, Famicom Detective Club, Astral Chain, Bayonetta 2 and 3, that sort of thing. This wouldn't kill Nintendo's console sales, but these games still deserve a chance to be played by a wider audience. Unfortunately they don't sell all that well on Nintendo's own hardware, so they should be given a second chance elsewhere, but it will never happen.

>>712490598 (OP)
Exclusivity is all nintendo has since they certainly aren't getting all the latest games

>>712490598 (OP)
>Sony accepted defeat and is releasing their games on PC
Long after PC lost all their exclusives to consoles.
>Microsoft is on the verge of exiting the home console market and are making a handheld PC
Nope. They're launching a Steam capable home console in 2026 or 2027, furthet eating Steam's lunch
>When is Nintendo going to stop being stubborn and start releasing their games on Steam?
Looks like Nintendo is being smart by avoiding PCjeets because their customers are white and not chinks, slavs and jeets.

Hope this helps.

>>712491687
It's really difficult to imagine a Nintendo PC port would offer a better experience than emulating on PC. I feel like Nintendo would do some stupid shit like locking their games to only go up to 1080p 60fps

>>712490598 (OP)
>When is Nintendo going to stop being stubborn and start releasing their games on Steam?
But their games are already on PC.

>>712492250

and this in your mind happened when exactly?

Steam is a racket that squeezes developers dry. It also deceived gamers into renting games instead of buying them.

>>712490598 (OP)
Nintendo's first-party games actually sell their consoles so never. Just get a Switch 2 and and Steam Deck 2 and call it a day.

>>712492418
>not 2160p
Don't think so.

if (big if) they start putting games on PC, they would 100% make their own client to sell from.

>>712492347
Native resolutions always win.

>>712490598 (OP)
Likely never since it would kill their brand like it has killed Xbox's.

>>712490598 (OP)
Nintendo are too greedy to ever pay royalty fees for their own games. They'll open their own storefront if they ever decide to port their slop to PC.

>>712492508

>Needs a $3000 PC to do this

>>712490598 (OP)
The better question is when will Valve port Half-Life to the Switch 2 and announce HL3 as a Switch 2 exclusive?

Imagine how many DRMs Nintendo would put in each game. You'd spend two hours logging into three different accounts and getting permission from five DRMs, then entering some magic word found in the manual, scanning your eye, performing two-step verification using a cell phone with a camera and fingerprint reader, all so that when you finally enter the game, you're still required to sign up and pay NSO to access your own Internet, even when using your PC.

>>712492748
not even close lol, I made it run on a 2080 super, that shit costs only 300 dollars

>>712490598 (OP)
Nintendo will go to PC when their DEI practices will force them to do so out of desperation.
For now they have to many drones that they don't need PC right now.

>>712490598 (OP)
Nintendo just sold a console with the exact same issues as the last thing with ONE fucking game to it's name and it sold gangbusters.
i don't think that Nintendo is going to because they know it's fan base will buy literal shit on a plate if it has Nintendo name on it

>>712492512
Around 2012 I think. 15 years ago games like Valheim, Balatro, Frostpunk, Apex Legends, and Marvel Rivals would be PC exclusives for their lifetime. Now they launch straight to consoles since PC doesn't get exclusives anymore but tiny indies and KBM required titles. You must spend all your life in echochambers of you still think PC has games.

>>712490598 (OP)
>When is Nintendo going to stop being stubborn and start releasing their games on Steam?
why would they? Sony and Microsoft give up, that means Nintendo will be on a monopoly, they'll be the king of the world

More sales! Mr Gaben, get down!

>>712492250
How do you set this up these days? Arent the emulators all taken down? I have a few switch games id like to clear out of the backlog

>>712492673
Ah ok. Enjoy your emulated version of whatever game that is. I'll be playing MK World on my Switch 2

>>712490598 (OP)
Nintendo is too scared that their games will end up selling better on PC than in their toys.

>>712492869
>PC doesn't have exclusives if you ignore the exclusives it has
This is literally the same line of thought used by PCgroids against consoles you stupid mongrel

Don't even know why I bothered asking

>>712492512
Not even System Shock could remain exclusive. The remaster of 2 is also getting ported to consoles, even the Switch. Fuck, Stalker even got ported.

>>712490598 (OP)
In the even Nintendo ever does release their games on PC, it'll be under their own launcher.

>>712492931
>Arent the emulators all taken down?
Yes, Nintendo contacted the internet police and had them delete every hosted file and every fork of the emulator.
The consequences will never be the same.

>>712492838
>i don't think that Nintendo is going to because they know it's fan base will buy literal shit on a plate if it has Nintendo name on it
This has already been disproved by the WiiU. Nintendo mega fans bought it... and that was it.
Another thing: electronic entertainment changes very quickly. Nintendo was the king of handhelds, and suddenly an invention that has nothing to do with games made handhelds obsolete. Note that smartphones didn't kill PS Vita and DS/3DS because they are better for playing video games, but simply because they gave people mobile access to the Internet, and suddenly having a device just for gaming outside the home was no longer appealing when you had the entire Internet in your hands.
In other words, things can change with a single invention that isn't even directly related to games, and Nintendo, Sony, and all the others will have to try to adapt or die. And that could happen at any time. It could happen tomorrow.

>>712490598 (OP)
Why are Nintendo fans so against PC versions?
If with emulators we already have good things like mods, wide support for joysticks, different settings and 4K resolution, imagine with native versions, made for PC? These games would be even more improved.
Unless... they don't care about the experience and just want consolewar faggism.

>>712493251
Yeah you won in the end big dog

another classic example is that age of empire games have been getting a console port (to be fair aoe2 had a ps2 port but not other mainline games)

>>712490598 (OP)
Switch 2 was just confirmed to be the biggest console launch of ALL TIME. You think Nintendo is going PC now? It'll take at least 2 more gens worth of Wii U tier flops so maybe in 20 years lol

>>712490598 (OP)
By the time the Switch 2 actually has an exclusive I'm interested in, there will probably be an emulator. If gets to 3 that I'm interested in and there's no emulator, I guess I'll buy a Switch 2.

>>712493420
Not him but when you port all of your games on Steam and decide that you should be selling your future hardware at a profit then yes, you gave up.

>>712490598 (OP)
same energy

>>712493290
I do all my non-Nintendo gaming on PC so I don't actually care whether they do or not but I'm not retarded and know that Nintendo will never put their stuff on PC. This is the same company that turned down Samus being in Fortnite because Fortnite refused to make her only be visible on Nintendo hardware.

>>712492869
Do you refuse to play Switch games if they're also available on other platforms? Do you stop playing them if a 'Switch exclusive' gets ported?

>>712490598 (OP)
Nintendo wouldn't put any of their games on Steam. What they would do is release Nintendo E-Shop! For PC.
It would have a subscription service for retro games, built in locked down emulators that you pay for and decade-old games sold at $80.

>>712493713
it's funny have pc vegans and snoys hate nintendo but are DESPEERATE to play their games

>>712492716
I'm at work, best you get is a hand

>>712490598 (OP)
Never, Nintendies will buy overpriced consoles that are 10 gens behind and marked up 100,000% while modern consoles are sold at a loss and out of stock constantly because of it. Then Nintendies will go point at a graph that proves that they line up to eat slop because it was the biggest console launch while knowing damn well no one could get a PS4/5 at launch.
Why would they give that up? If anything shows they shouldn't care about the hardware retards will buy a console that boasts a new feature in 2025 that was standardized in 2008(1080p).

>>712493026
and certain PC games getting ported over means PC is bereft of exclusive games how?
PC, PS5 and Switch ALL have exclusives, you liking the exclusives / some of them getting ported over doesn't mean they don't.
Sony ports most of their games over to PC nowadays but they still have exclusives

>i don't think that Nintendo is going to because they know it's fan base will buy literal shit on a plate if it has Nintendo name on it
N64 sold like shit, GC sold like shit, Wii U sold like shit. Half of their last 6 consoles sold badly. Nintendo is actually less likely to buy stuff just because of Nintendo branding. Sony is the one where their fans will buy anything no matter how much they're fucking people over. They ushered $70 games, the first disc-less console, RAISED console prices mid-gen and made a $700 mid-gen upgrade and people not only took it in the ass but also defended them.

Nigga anon hates Nintendo yet begging to play their games.
Same shit as palworld, bunch of niggas just thirsty for pokemon.

>Why are Nintendo fans so against PC versions?
I'm not. Just explaining why it's shit business for Nintendo. Why do PC fans get so worked up when I tell them that what they want to have happen to Nintendo already happend to Steam and GoG and PC in general when they lost 99% of their exclusives to consoles when the market shifted in the 2010s?

>>712493924
Exclusive means a game is on one (1) platform only. If it gets ported, it stops being exclusive. Both PC and PlayStation have far fewer exclusives than they used to get.

>>712494050
>Pisses shits and cums over cybertranny game

>>712492767
That collection was actually delisted on Switch because the Switch can barely run Portal 2 lol

No.

The original post I replied to said 'ALL' exclusives were gone.
We're not arguing about certain platform having less exclusives, we're arguing about them having them at all, which they still do.

>>712494765
I don't get how that even helped them. Switch wasn't even getting any big new games when they did it so the emulators already play everything. Did they think this is going to discourage the hordes of third worlders from making another donation cashcow?

Doesn't count because you got them for free.

as far as I am aware they make money on their console sales so likely never. make peace with emulation anon, it's just as good if not better in many regards anyway, at least for their modern output.

The reality is that the Chinese really don't care as much about Nintendo's games as much as they do real games so there is no need for Nintendo to port to PC. Anything decent will be copied by Mihoyo for the Chinese market anyway and do way better than Nintendo's version.

>>712493261

Which console to you own for non-Switch games?

>>712495425
Pretty sure PC sales outdo Switch 2 sales, anon.

>>712495496
Yeah you're right it's not happening at all

>>712495060
two obviously very competent dev teams, with the switch 2 on the horizon they probably had some exec sperging hard about how they needed to crush them before they got their hands on the next console, mixed with a bit of embarrassment at how much better the experience was on an emulator vs native
also yuzu did fuck up hardcore by using a for-profit model instead of donations and releasing optimizations for TotK before the game was even out, meaning they obviously got their hands on a leaked copy
clean room only goes so far
but yeah, by the time nintendo started cracking down all it did was generate a lot of ill will

>>712493290
I'm not against PC versions. I'm not even against emulators since I use them all the time. It's that most people's idea of a PC version of a Nintendo game is somehow whipping them into submission with platform domination, but that's not going to happen because of the value and support of their own IPs. So most people try and jerryrig this submission fantasy through the lens of emulation, but emulation is simply not widespread enough among the actual customer base to make a dent, no matter what horseshit any company like Sega or even Nintendo would like you to believe.

This is a Sony defense post cosplaying as a console hate post.
People complain about Nintendo shit loudly because they've already made up their minds that they'll buy it but aren't happy about being nickel and dimed a bit harder.

>>712490947
I think the best Strat would be to release those games on PC like .. 3 years after launch or something. I think one issue Nintendo would have would be whether sales happen, or storefronts attempt to sell those games for cheaper than for Nintendo hardware.

never as long as people are buying whatever console nintendo puts out

IMO the issue was that Yuzu devs were charging for emulator tweaks to leaked copies of the game so that it would run on PC before it came out in stores. It wasn't just the software itself but making money off the leaked games that really pissed them off.
You see a similar story with Gary Bowser with how the modchips were a for-profit business.
Nintendo sucks dick, but they'll generally just make your life difficult if you support piracy for free. If you try and make money off of it, they'll come for you with Big Dick Buster there to collect damages.

>>712490598 (OP)
i'll be honest with you i think nintendo is too technically inept to make PC ports even if they wanted to

When their hardware stops selling well and they can't afford to keep making new consoles, so not now currently.
Even if Nintendo had to release games on PC they likely wouldn't support Steam, this is the same company that was too good to use Spotify after all. They would open up their own store front where games never go on sale and have hellish DRM.

>>712495779
They wouldn't have to worry about storefronts selling cheaper. They can choose to not provide keys to storefronts. I have seen plenty of Steam games that strictly sell on Steam and provide zero keys to any other platforms. They have the choice to release on Steam and never discount their games. They also have the option of making a dedicated Nintendo store for PC. I think people would use that.

While I agree with this as their mentality. They may not have a choice one day if they start bleeding money. It's why many others have gone multiplatform. I believe a big reason as to why Sony finally pushed so hard was due to scalpers. Not the entire reason, but one big one. When the PS5 came out, they sold each system at a loss. A majority of systems just sat in bulk in scalper storage. Sony only makes money if the consoles are in people's hands to generate sales with subscriptions and games. I think Sony was already hurting, and then their console release was not generating any money which was the final straw. They had to target hardware that was already out there. Software sales are more important that hardware anyways. Nintendo is always behind the trends. One way or another they will learn the value in being everywhere by choice or by force.

>>712497682
You can keep it shitskin!

>>712497808
I think this is a big reason why Nintendo put all their Switch 2 consoles on a reservation list based on how much you suck their cock. They didn't want all their consoles not generating money in the hands of scalpers. They want to get each console into the hands of their whales.

>>712491210
How? Steam made Gabe one of the richest people in the US, it prints him money just like Switch 2 exclusives and the console itself.

>>712491687
Other way around makes more sense though, the people playing the games in your first list will buy a console anyway, the second list is what sells switches to PCfags

I understand your need to cope with the fact some people don't like your religion / billion dollar company, but they are far too litigious and claim mechanics as their own, leading ot a future with less people able to make or design games because companies now own the very idea and mechanic the game may need. You want to support slant-eyed kikes, i get it, but some of us see where this is going and would rather not, you insufferable faggot.

Never.
If they stop making consoles, they will also stop making games.

>>712498367

>>712498367
Gabe wont live forever. The stasis chambers aren't there yet, trust me.

>>712498872
so far the only developer they sued is palworld who obviously glued together a bunch of pokemon designs. Yes I know thats not what they were sued for but they deserve it, come up with an original idea. the copywrite stuff is a defensive legal strategy and they only strike people who mess with them. Other companies would do the same thing if they actually had original ideas.
The moralfagging over nintendo when they are one of very few companies making good games is just retarded to me, especially from people who pirate games which apparently is better because it deprives developers of the games you actually want to play of money which somehow will result in better games.

>>712498367
Steam has been a huge moneymaker for 22 years. Nintendo has been one of the most successful video game companies in the world since 1985.
Gaben uses his excess money to buy yachts. Nintendo puts it in a panic fund to keep the company afloat in case of a severe flop (the wii u still turned a profit so the panic fund wasn't touched, to give you an idea of how severe that would need to be). Gaben will die, and his replacement may suck dick, and steam may start losing money. If that happens, they could be in a bad financial spot right quick. But if nintendo started losing money, they would stay afloat for a LOT longer. They could make $0 from today on and still operate as normal for 25-30 more years. Steam is much more likely to die than nintendo.

I just don't care about Nintendo games because they're not to my tastes. Simple as that. Let them keep their exclusives.

>>712490598 (OP)
If it didn't happen when all PC players were playing their new games on release anyway, and for free, it's never going to happen.
Nintendo are like Apple in that they want a completely locked down ecosystem that they have full control over, that their users only get the experience that Nintendo give to them and nothing else, and the openness of PC goes against that.

Probably never because their main target are children (who don't play PC games), normie social fags (who also don't play PC games) and man-children (that play PC games but love to cooooonsume as well and have no problem buying Nintendo products). There's very reason for Nintendo to support PC like they did for mobile.

Despite the flame wars, PC/Steam, Playstation and Xbox fanbases are very similar and share a lot in common.

Well, this is one of Nintendo's last generations. Nintendo's console market is almost irrelevant after the Snes. Except for the Wii, what kept they afloat for all these years were their portables.
The Switch is a hybrid, so there was good will and gast left to burn from the DS/3DS. It's also their first portable HD console, it was one easy sell.
The Switch 2 is not selling that hot, but still has good will from the first. Unless they totally reformulate or change their current portable business or just go to PC or mobile. I don't see the Switch 3 having the same success in some years.

so is the switch 2 also tegra?
if so how long until we get rom dumps?

It's not. Whatever number that is, which is so insignificant I never once saw a hacker on Kart8D or Smash, multiply it by 10,000 or more because that's what's on PC.

Yup. There's literally no reason for Nintendo to start handing out 30% cuts to competitors. Valve can keep porting their IPs to Nintendo though.

>>712505840
>>712505846
Putting all that stuff aside, the bigger issue is what going third party would actually mean for Nintendo as a company. Because the way I see it, the day Nintendo actually gives up on being a first party console manufacturer/dev is the day when they stop being a video game company and start being a full blown multimedia company. Their video games are bound to suffer.

I don't actually foresee Nintendo going third party resulting in an actual improvement in terms of their software. If anything, I only see it getting worse. It's not as if going third party resulted in Sega's quality going up.

>>712490598 (OP)
>When is Nintendo going to stop being stubborn and start releasing their games on Steam?
Tendies multiple times more fanatical than any other console war faction.
As long as it works (and it really does, they basically own THE handheld, the only one on the market right now which gets actual attention, Steam Deck or ROG Ally are not even close), there's no reason to change anything. It's a very japanese approach to business.

grrr I'm so mad you called me a name!

>>712506767
>grrr

>>712506686
They would "have to", but they probably won't. Going third party has never actually resulted in better games. You seem to believe that Nintendo's games would improve simply because they'd have no other choice, but not having a choice doesn't necessarily mean you'll succeed at the one choice you do have. Nintendo generally likes to keep their budgets small and have complete control over their IPs. This is completely at odds with how most other third party devs operate.

The way I figure, the day Nintendo stops being first party is basically the day they'll pretty much give up. They'll probably keep making games, but whatever little bit of innovation they have these days will probably disappear. They'll become a shell of their former selves, wasting away until they become mediocrity incarnate, much like Sega.

>>712507202
Translation:
>Nintendo makes low budget shit that only tendies buy
If they went multiplatform they would go out of business because of this. No more tendies, no more caring since their games suck.

>>712501230
99% of pc games can be played on a budget laptop. You only need high end expensive components if you want to play the latest unreal engine garbage.

>>712506496
It could be worse; I could be you.

>>712507327
Nah. They'll start to leverage the popularity of their IPs and start trying to turn them into more large scale multimedia properties, going more hard into television, toy lines, films and general merchandise. The games will suffer and become safe and sterile, but at this point, Mario probably makes more money off of merchandising than games anyway.

Sony's problem is that they literally cannot stop stepping on rakes. Putting your shit on PC is not a long term strategy, it is a short term profit grab, because you're getting customers at the expense of making your own ecosystem weaker. Ask yourself why you think this decision makes sense when it's from the same people responsible for every fuck up Sony's been making for half a decade. From funding a baker's dozen live service games, the kneejerk acquisition of garbage studios, Playstation VR in its entirety, and so on. Why do you think THIS decision is better than any of those others?

not in the foreseeable future, i think that the entire head of the company should change for something like that but even then good luck since their mentality is very strict.

Seems consistent to me.

>Nintendo games have a ton of problems
Don't think so

>>712513045
Your games have problems just running at a consistent framerate unless you spend 10 extra dollars for an upgrade package, while PC users have emulated games at 60 FPS consistently for decades.

>>712512106
Why can't you just get a damn Steam Deck, wait for the Steam Deck 2, and get a Switch 2, you poor faggot?

>>712513143
Sounds like the problem is you're poor

Ah yes, the typical comeback of someone who doesn't know the value of money, and just gives it to any grifter who asks.

When PC finally has games of it's own ie never

>>712513294
I thought PChads had 3000 dollar computers though?
Start making sense Ninsissy!

>>712513403
You said $10 was a problem. That's all. Anyway that expense is already paid for since I already have the sub upgrade, and regardless it's already confirmed many titles get performance boosts without it.

>>712513403
If you want Nintendo games you get the Switch or Switch 2, for everything else, you get a Steam Deck or wait for the Steam Deck 2. When you're crying about ports instead of just getting the device with the games that you want, you're poor.

lol
nintendo has a death grip on nostalgiafags, it's gonna take a whole generation before you ever see a single nintendo game on a pc officially. And even then it will be on a heavily drm locked cloud branded nintendo pc that costs 2000 usd

>>712511725
It'll make emulation that much more smooth, too.

>>712513892
Then stop port begging like a bitch.

Nintendo Switch Online is only worth it for the classic games, nothing more.

>>712511725
Jesus fucking Christ, I absolutely hate Microsoft for holding gaming back with their dated ass controllers. Nintendo, Valve, and Sony innovate with their controllers while Microsoft continues to ignore features people actually want, even keeping other gaming handhelds using Windows from having trackpads. God, I hate that company.

same story every day here

>when will nintendo release their games on steam???

why bother? they are doing great without it. let's face it, most of you here don't have a computer powerful enough to satisfy the paltry requirements of a nintendo first party title.

>>712490598 (OP)
Nintendo will never do it because their exclusives are why people buy their shitty out of date consoles. Take that away and their consoles are pointless.

If botw can be played at 16k 420fps with mod support, how will they be able to sell it 4 times on new consoles?

>>712513802
>I love spending $2000 to play console ports while owning nothing

To each their own

Everyone at Nintendo would rather sudoku than let their games go to PC. It's a matter of pride for them.

>>712490598 (OP)
IPs are all Nintendo has. Just emulate or wait for emulation. Who the fuck cares?

>>712490598 (OP)
Are you faggot snoy cucks done throwing your tantrum? Just go buy a Switch2 and start playing games.

>why hasn't the company that won the console war knelt to PC yet?
Did you think they raised their prices so much because they were desperate? Dumbass.

>>712490598 (OP)
I don't think we should hope for native ports outside of our own recompilations, lad. Did everyone memory-hole the buggy mess that was the BOTW PS4 port? They'll just never update things and be like "Oh, there's no such issue on our console, actually." With our luck, we'd lose recompilations and emulation forever once Nintendo starts using Denuvo.

>>712515067
Rent-free. And look at you, already done with and bored of your one game.

>>712490598 (OP)
look how barren and basic that shit looks on a steam page

Sony sells consoles at a loss, so it is more profitable for them to sell games, Nintendo sells an overpriced tablet, so it is more profitable for them to sell a tablet than games.

They stealth release their games on PC with emulation

>>712499627
Honestly, this is correct, but not for the reasons anon says.
The problem with steam is it's too fucking big now, and there are actually a lot of aspects of it that are heavily enshittified already, like the campo santo game screeners and no consistent forum moderation standards. Gabe understands this to a certain extent, which is why you sometimes see him put his foot down rightly or wrongly.
As steam continues to grow, these "compartmentalized" problems will continue to grow worse, little fiefs and kingdoms will form in valve's middle-management that deals with different aspects of the service, and the guys that follow will not be even half as mindful about what's going on on the service.
The complete failure won't happen overnight, but it'll be a slow death of overcorportizing papercuts even if it stays a private company. Which is not guaranteed to begin with.

>>712515689
so I guess not, I'll wait.

That's gamefreak

>>712490598 (OP)
Nintendo made enough bank on the wii to last until like 2040 being in the negative, They have nothing going for them out side of exclusives which would not pull in the same amount of money they can current scam using hardware.

>>712514362
>Sony innovate with their controllers
They have done nothing past putting another analog stick

More than whatever the hell Microsoft is doing, they are holding gaming back.

>>712516316
Does Nintendo allow them to sell their games on the switch? Yes? Then it's a problem with Nintendo refusing to enforce quality control.

>>712490598 (OP)
>EVERYONE SHOULD SELL THEIR GAMES ON STEAM AND TURN IT INTO A MONOPOLY
why are gabengoblins like this?

>>712490598 (OP)
Unless they get some Jim Ryan/Mattrick style CEO that utterly fucks up, I don't see it happening. Best case scenario they allow some third party games that can also be played on PC, like if they let Retro Studios release Metroid Prime on PC. Even this seems farfetched. As long as they're turning a profit with their hardware it doesn't seem like they'd need to turn to PC.

>>712517868
Also there's no way they'd turn to Steam. They'd just start their own PC service. Like how Apple has Apple Arcade.

>>712490947
Except the mouse feature is mouse + gyro so it also can detect rotation of the mouse.

>>712490598 (OP)
If they'd do that, then everyone would realize their games are just overrated piece of shit.

The only situation in the near future that I could see them make a game for PC, without there being some catastrophic situation in which they need PC sales to survive, would be if they made an MMO.

>>712510805
Should add a tendiejak, but he's tied up.

>>712505148

Nintendo has like 8k employees, they're way bigger than Valve and those tiny companies.

>no competition is ALLOWED
Nigga Iam so dissapointed this last gen that it was only Nintendo really putting anything half decent out of the big three, Sony and Microsoft fucking absolutely botched their advantage that Nintendo literally has free reign right now. They literally dont even have to try, and its all evidenced by the official release game of the Switch 2 being fucking MarioKart

>>712517571
So it's not a problem when Gamefreak releases shitty games on other platforms?

Do they even make good games anymore? The last Nintendo console I had was the Wii and those games were a downgrade from GameCube games. Not sure they have anything I would buy.

>>712491075
Weird flex but okay.

>>712491210
They make double digit millions off of cs2 alone every month. You're nuts.

Next guy in line fucks up, Valve goes public or just sells itself to Microsoft for 20 billions. Whoever comes after Gabe is going to need a will of iron to resist being set for life without the worry of actually running a company.

>>712490598 (OP)
Most switch games already run way better and look better on PC than on switch1/2

>>712490598 (OP)
stop being poor and buy switch 2

>>712495779
This is kiketendo we're talking about, they charge you 20 bucks for games from 40 years ago and you need to pay that price again when you go from switch 1 to switch 2

>>712491687
>This wouldn't kill Nintendo's console sales
It absolutely would. Part of why their sales are so high is the variety of games, I mean let's say you have about 500k buying a system purely for those games each, you listed 6 different series, that's 3m sales right there. Of course that's also an extreme low ball but the point is that's a not insignificant chunk of sales.
On top of that you also have expectations, once one game is ported people will expect the rest and refuse to buy the ones that they don't intend to port until they do.

>but these games still deserve a chance to be played by a wider audience
Bold of you to assume they would sell more and to other audiences just because they were put on pc. There's already a massive overlap in users between Nintendo and PC as it is.
Also in the case of Metroid specifically, Dread is the best selling Metroidvania game in the genre, not only does that show how niche the genre is but also that it doesn't need to be ported if it can sell more on one platform than all of those multiplats.

>>712519953
>The last Nintendo console I had was the Wii and those games were a downgrade from GameCube games.
If you believe that then your problem is contrarianism, not Nintendo downgrading their games.
