Will wait for Console release (switch)

[elnubnub]

I will wait for console release to try this one, IF it never gets on consoles like the nintendo Switch, then I will never play this title, this is an homage to early console games, why is it on PC ? why would I consume 500Watts of electricity when this title could be played on a 20watt console...

It's okay to have personal preferences for which platform you play games on, but trying to shame other people for playing on PC because it allegedly consumes more electricity is absurd and makes you sound ridiculous.

It's basically the same on the Steam Deck...

Because producing a large amount of LX-III replicas that only play this game wouldn't sell as well; also playing early console games in an "authentic" way on real hardware is expensive.

Runs on Steam Deck when limited to 3 watts. What are those other 17 watts of your Switch doing?

Just to hopefully keep a more positive spin on this thread, I wanted to put out there that I didn't take this as any kind of "shaming" and I'd hate for others to take it that way, either, because this'd pretty quickly become a burning forum hellscape before too long! The mention of electricity is particularly relatable to me because I just recently had been figuring out electricity-bill stuff and noted just how much power the multiple PCs in my house consume; it's crazy!

We're, of course, all in our own different mindsets with different priorities and the like, so it can definitely feel outta left-field if we're used to leaving our PC's on all the time, or just play everything on PC in general, but it's definitely true that there can be a non-negligible cost to running higher-end PCs all the time! I just got off a Switch kick where I was practically the reveal-trailer "hallway guy", just sittin' around the house in handheld mode and during that time, I barely touched my PC. Now I'm back in PC mode specifically due to UFO 50 and am back in the mode where it's hard to imagine not using my PC for everything!

Again, just putting this out there to hopefully avoid undue confusion and friction! See ya'll around!

Onion Delivery is the best game in the collection.

I think its more a homage to early pc games really. but you do you. I understand your point and being indie devs, releasing games on this platform makes more sense, cheaper dev costs for example.
