With Yuzu and Ryujinx gone this doesn’t sound as far fetched.

More like their next console would have been emulated two days after release. Because it's Switch Pro.

 

[UnrealEck]

It's costing them money to chase after people emulating their systems when they could be making money just selling their games to those people.

...wait I mean...

Not saying that either but he could be on to something. Maybe they might have bit the PC bullet since they seen that there was a million downloads totk. If they don’t want to he known for specs they can always put there games on something that is high specs with PC.

 

[SportsFan581]

Anything is possible, but I can't see it being a good move for them, doesn't seem like it would fit their model at all.

 

[FeralEcho]

The most "tales from my ass" kind of insider out there.

If it happens though...can you imagine.

PC would be even moreso THE place to be .

Even if he has no evidence, even if his track record is suspect, even if he's making it up as he goes along you will show him respect.

who is this guy and why should we take anything he says seriously?

and by the way, no, I don't see nintendo do PC ports

but who knows, didn't see Sony doing them either

The popularity of Yuzu and Ryujin makes me question the accuracy of this diagram.

The popularity of Yuzu and Ryujin makes me question the accuracy of this diagram.

How many Yuzu and Ryunjin users are there? What percentage of Yuzu and Ryujin users own a switch?

1,000,000 downloads of Zelda totk probably made them think otherwise.

 

[RoboFu]

well they did just get a new switch emulator for PC.

 

[Fabieter]

Technically everyone using yuzu and ryujin need to own a switch to legally rip your own games.

 

[Danknugz]

i still rmemebr one of my first emulator experiences was seeing zelda oot running 1024x768 on windows 9x back in like 1998, ever since then whenever i see nintendo games i just want to play them on pc anyway, newer games aren't a problem because my nintendo backlog is so huge. i literally still haven't finished mario sunshine.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

So how likely is it that we gonna have all games in one place. How legit is this guy?

Looking at some of his vids he had a pretty energetic interview with Phil Spencer recently.

Also he says he played the PS6 at GDC and has some inside track on the plans.

He also is stating halo will come to PS.

We need more HHG threads on GAF and to make HHG great again.

So 100% of Yuzu and Ryujin users own a Nintendo Switch?

 

[Dirk Benedict]

So 100% of Yuzu and Ryujin users own a Nintendo Switch?

As someone who owns a switch and runs both, hell no!

 

[EDMIX]

Wouldn't be the wildest idea tbh, if they want to combat emulation, they need to target that direct market. Easier to offer a bunch of ports at reasonable price

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

he is legit

What the fuck is that outfit and belt

 

[ReBurn]

How many Yuzu and Ryunjin users are there? What percentage of Yuzu and Ryujin users own a switch?

Enough to make Nintendo want to shut it down. Besides, what does it matter? They're still playing Nintendo games on their PCs. So it's a non-zero number.

 

[SmokedMeat]

I don’t see it happening yet, but Nintendo would be wise to create their own launcher and release their classics on PC.

 

[SNG32]

Which I can see them trying to do first to dip their toe in but that won’t work because there’s already emulators to play the classics probably better than what Nintendo would offer. So the only thing that could warrant a launcher is if they put switch/switch 2 games on it as well. They could launch switch 2 games on there months later after console release. I mean atleast this strategy stops them from playing wack a mole with switch 2 emulation.

Easily the most fun leaker guy around. A legend of the game!

 

[Lambogenie]

He played the PS6.

 

[Crunchbox]

Nintendo has games on mobile dont they? Whose to say they wont have a nintendo live service game for pc.

 

[JimboJones]

I don't see it happening but it would be cool and I think their Switch consoles would still have immense value with the portability factored in.
Portable PC is still a small market that I don't think it would affect them too much although 10 years from now it might be a different story.
But yeah wishful thinking, loved to be proved wrong though!

 

[Joelenheimer]

But they already are

this should've been a reply to the 7th post

This is plausible, though.

[asdasdasdbb]

The popularity of Yuzu and Ryujin makes me question the accuracy of this diagram.

That's because of the price (ie: Free). PC Gamers wouldn't actually pay for the games.

Also why F2P is so popular on PC... because it's also "Free" (let the Whales pay for it)

 

[Sentenza]

All jokes aside on his, uh, colorful character... How does he even pretend to know, exactly?

 

[U n i o n 0015]

If they wanted to curb piracy and emulation, this is what they would do, but they won't because their head has been up their ass for 30+ years and they generally feel it works out for them.

I will continue to emulate in the meantime.

 

[IFireflyl]

My Steam library is worth thousands of dollars. Obviously you don't know what you are talking about about.

 

[bigdad2007]

This has been rumored for decades at this point. If the Wii U didn’t make Nintendo go 3rd party I can’t see what would.

Why would Nintendo go 3rd party when the Switch is basically their best selling system and Nintendo is the last 1st party company that has multiple games on the current gen console on the best selling of all time list?

 

[adamsapple]

BRB calling Nintendo Lawyers.

I'm sorry emulator bros.

lol isn't playstation one of fortnites biggest market

 

[Pasta la Vista]

I've got 5 generations of Nintendo games on my PC already. If "Ninty" actually gave a shit about the preservation of their history (and making ALOT of money), well then release to more platforms. There is only gain here.

 

[Fabieter]

So 100% of Yuzu and Ryujin users own a Nintendo Switch?

I didn't say that

 

[atyourservice]

They are not that consumer-focused so that would be unusual

 

[Parazels]

I hope no.

[Dafegamer]

I hope no.

Shareholders are the main Villains, so if they want them to release, it's hard to say no.

 

[Hyet]

Not gonna happen. 1. They want to protect their IP and the idea of absvling the wider public to create and apply mods should be enough to dissuade them 2. NO WAY I HELL they pay 30% to Steam. They are used to be receiving royalty money, not paying it.

Who says Steam? Knowing Nintendo, "IF" they decide to release on PC they'd sure as hell release their own Starter.
