I was wondering things along these lines.
I don't see there being a 0% chance (though admittedly a low one) that they bundle some of their back catalogue with an emulator and release the titles on PC (like Sega on Android/iOS).
If they think the value of those sales would exceed the value added to the switch of eg Mario kart 64 being exclusive, then it'd make sense.
- hsbauauvhabzb 3y agoWhy back catalogue? Modern switch games on PC would appeal to a significant audience.
- mijoharas 3y agoTrue, but I think there is a much better argument in favour of gating the IP to promote switch hardware sales. (Again, from the perspective of Nintendo. It'd obviously be great if they released these things on different platforms from a user perspective)
- skeeter2020 3y agoNintendo only sells hardware because of exclusive titles. I think it's also unlikely that anyone on PC will pay $90 for a new title more than 3 months after release.
- mynameisvlad 3y agoNo, but who said it had to be full price? Sony has shown that people are willing to pay $50-60 for games that are a few years old but newly released on PC. See God of War, Horizon, Spider-Man, and I think there were a few more too.
