Should nintendo sell their games on steam?

I feel like I'm missing out but the switch sucks.

The Switch rules.

Also, Nintendo is available everywhere, while the Steam Deck is only available in very few countries. Most of the world can't even leagaly or easily buy it, even if they can afford it.

Nintendo should not sell their software here, IMHO.

with steam , any company can just do their own handheld computer and just simply allow you to install steam on it.

even if you can't buy a steam deck you might have access to a similar product , ROG ally , GPD win , Aya Odin. Steam is not locked to a specific piece of hardware.

I'll stick to my Unix-like consoles over your crapy M$ SpywareOS handhelds.

I actually like the Win 3's design, with the cool sliding physical keyboard instead of pain-in-the-ass onscreen touch keyboard.

If only the Win 4 didn't put the left controls upside down.

I miss cellphones (or the wider mobile category) with sliding keyboards. I hate touching glass. I miss physical keys!

Also, I'd preffer if even touchscreen counters were switched for physical keys, or at least had a keyboard tray somewhere.

Closest thing might be Wipeout. It’s a pretty unique series, especially GX. If you’ve got a gamecube (or dolphin) I really recommend giving GX a try. The difficulty may seem brutal before you learn the controls well but it’s so much fun when you get the hang of it

Still no wipeout, that was an arcade with a quarter operated horsey? ski-doo.
For some reason thought wipeout was on steam and removed from store. Started noting those even the music is gone from STEAM including the games.

If nintendo
has some say over the game over capcom
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1335070/Breath_of_Fire_Sound_Collection/
this might be the closest can find at this time

Seal of Quality when comes to publisher developer trying to find ones on steam is if find one click on it then shows whole list. Dragon Warrior being Enix, Dragon quest which is Square Enix.

games like grand theft auto once had it out though for sony the original first one top down when got a grand theft auto 3 on steam. There were expansion games Phantasy star and such for disc during PS3 era if did a certain achievement which is missing from STEAMs.

The chances of a Mod being able to be used through the new Metal gear collection or Contra Anniversary might have something that has to go through the whole can't have it belongs in france it's the mona lisa quality of assurance lawyer on a global political...

Believe Nintendo games if there are any are so which have to play fallout 4 and put it on a pipboy....could you hook a nintendo to device and recompile now adays as a learned skill something like BUBBLE BOBBLE(Taito)



THESE ARE TWO HUNGRY DINO-MIGHTS AND THEY'VE GOT BUBBLE FIGHT'N FUN DOWN TIGHT

I'm certain Wipeout has never been on Steam as it's a Sony property.

Psygnosis were the original creators of the game (which Sony acquired around the early PS1 days or before), and when they were shuttered it remained a Sony title.

Of course it's only been a recent thing with Sony pushing certain proprietary titles on here.


However, there are other games like Wipeout you can buy on other platforms. Games like Redout (I think it's called) is similar but I've yet to play it on here.

There's also Quantum Redshift back no the original Xbox and there's also an Xbox 360 game too (but I can't find it in my collection atm and I've forgotten the name - I'll edit it in if I remember).

More recently there's also Fast Racing Neo on the WiiU which had a rejig version "Fast RMX" on various platforms too.

not in any official manners and if nintendo could they would prevent peoples from dumping/transfering their own games from the switch and into their pc.

I hate the concept of the Switch though. I really do. I think it's stupid. Do I think Nintendo should stop making consoles? No. But I don't think they should try combining handhelds and home consoles, since the Switch is a piss poor implementation of either concept. I only own one for Nintendo first party games. If their games were on something else, and technically I could emulate them, but I avoid piracy, I'd buy them there, because my Switch never disconnects from the same monitor my PC uses anyway.

[AustrAlien2010]

Not our decision.

[I throw ball at you]

Nintendo missed out the fun of getting workshop in their games like Smash Ultimate, Fire emblem three houses,

Why does a Switch suck? Its not good? Try explaining it so we can understand it. Calling something "piss poor" is not really explaining anyhing.

Because as a handheld, It's not the most portable thing. You need a carrying bag, or backpack for it, and the fairly thin design with large screen will make it prone to breakage. Compare that to their dedicated handheld consoles like the DS and GBA, which you can actually just slip into a pocket, take anywhere, and you know nothing is going to break. Those are great handhelds. You can't even do that with a Switch Lite.

If it was just a home console, you could save money on production not needing a screen, battery, not having to deal with crappy Joy Cons. You would also likely see things implemented into it as a home console that not even the dock has, like ethernet to connect to home networking because wi-fi is trash for gaming. Even the most ideal 5ghz connection close to your router is going to have heightened latency or drop outs from radio interference that just isn't there over an ethernet connection. Not to mention even a basic heat sink and a fan could get more consistent frame rates out of it at 1080p.

I'd rather have a more convenient to carry dedicated handheld, and something I can leave plugged into a screen and ethernet.

[AustrAlien2010]

I understand it better now. It has frame rate drops, no cable connection, and a weak construction.
That's proper information that people can do something with. Everybody hates frame-drops, network latency, and things that aren't durable.

Thanks for explaining it. I appreciate it.

Scumtaro Furukawa's Nintendo should just go bankrupt and all the people like Scumtaro Furukawa who are responsible of turning it into a scam driven ♥♥♥♥♥ that only cares about big investors and nothing else should lose everything they have and become extremely poor and homeless and have their lives ruined.

In the past I loved the GameCube, I loved the first Wii even more and back then I also hated computers (I still do not enjoy computers as much as I used to love my favourite consoles back then) so I was ok with the exclusivities situation back then. It made sense, I knew that a lot of great games were being developed and were VERY optimized simply thanks to that situation so I saw the good side of it too.

[AustrAlien2010]

I also noticed the Wii had a steady frame rate most of the time. I honestly expected the Switch to be the same.

Durability is also a very important aspect of any product.

Nintendo make loads on hardware because they use outdated junk to build with. Look ot og Gameboy, it had monochrome screen.

No they actually don't. Or at least the point is that they don't make as much as software does. Software ALWAYS drives the sales.

The point is the margins are always small or in some cases, they're sold at a loss (MS never made a penny on the 360).

The point is that even with Nintendo deliberately using older tech (for two major reasons - reliability and Siggy's assurance that for their purposes they don't NEED the ultimate specs) that they still don't make that much compared to software sales.

They have made $30bn in profit from switch sales alone.
