@Jam777 As I have said, I don't think we want Nintendo to release games on PC. They will have none of the benefits of being on PC with all of the limitations of being on a console.
@Toastmaster You are ignoring what I said about Nintendo using additional layers of DRM on their games. Nintendo could easily sign a deal with Denuvo for a lifetime license and leave the game with the securer Denuvo using a digital PC store that isn't steam or even Epic.
Nintendo, if they would put say Breath of the Wild on the PC, they would lock it down to daily online file check-ins, Kernel level DRM, and other things that would more than likely not work on a Linux handheld without some serious hoops jumped through. We don't want Nintendo games on PC, because it won't be how other games on PC are. You get a Nintendo game on the PC, with little to no customization of graphics settings and none of the benefits as Nintendo would start suing anyone for making mod tools for their PC games.
@Jam777 Then Sony should be releasing their games day one on PC and PS5 like MS has been doing. If PS5 owners and PC owners are two different markets, then it shouldn't hurt sales on the PS5.
@anoyonmus I'm not sure if that budget includes the advertising budget as well.
@Jam777 They are indirectly stating that their budgets are too big to make back their investment on games on just the PS4 and PS5. You see this with Spiderman 2, it was very quickly ported to PC with no DLC plans for the game on PS5.
Nintendo porting one game, any game to PC is them admitting they have failed with the Switch 1 or Switch 2. They failed with the budgets being too high, not making enough money for their games on the Switch.
I mentioned in my post the DRM Nintendo would use, Denuvo with secondary and/or tertiary with Nintendo not putting the game on Steam so they can get the full 100% of sales revenue. They would lock out access to Steam Deck and other handhelds by "trying" to check flags those devices have and rope in people's PCs, only 16:9 resolutions, 60FPS cap, no modding at all, and probably the same textures as the source game.
There are too many caveats Nintendo imposes on how people can play their games on the Switch; PC players will just crack the game and play it that way while Nintendo sues the people who crack the games.
Edit: accidentally deleted my original post by accident.
I hope to see the games re-released on Switch, there are ways and have been hacks to change the light, plus the Switch does have an ambient light sensor.
This response is more than likely in response to someone cosplaying as Nintendo characters and sending Nudes to minors. There is a reason why Nintendo has been reluctant to do official Smash tournaments as there have been serious allegations against some of the top players.
At this point it seems they are trying to push people to the Special Edition, I would've bought the GBA cart, heck buy it "loose" in a box for $35. $60 for a GBA game that has nothing else special other than a box, is asking a lot.
These are fun little events; I think people really should participate in these. Those QT-RTGs are a nice bonus if it is given, those generate 1 unit of power per second on person.
@RupeeClock At the time of the Switch's release the 8GB cart was about the same cost as a standard blu-ray disc used by Xbox or Playstation, now I am pretty sure those carts are even cheaper.
@Pigeon I know you are trolling but a Prototype for a WiiU gamepad was two wiimotes hooked up to a screen, thus showing prior art which would invalidate the patent.
@Dualmask I do think Nintendo should add more games to the SNES Online and NES online services. I am holding off playing Mother as I want to play it on my Switch instead of my WiiU.
This review should be a 7/10 for the score at most because a previous review factored in the price difference between Deponia on Switch and Deponia on other platforms. There is no reason for the game to be charged $10 more with no additions or QOL fixes. The Ada mission videos are still 480P and still super compressed on top of that.
@Realnoize Aspyr, the studio that ported Civ6 to the Switch has also handled ports of the Borderlands games to Mac, so they would be the best choice if 2K wanted to get the games on the switch.
