Nintendo did release a few games on PC in the 90's... "Mario Teaches Typing" for example... you can even play it online right here:

Mario Teaches Typing | Play game online!

Mario Teaches Typing is an edutainment game published by Nintendo for the MS-DOS in 1992. Play Mario Teaches Typing online in web browser!

The reality of this happening is probably about 1%, but I would instabuy Metroid Dread in a heartbeat if they threw it on steam.

What would you like to see?

 

[Ribi]

I'd like to see a working emulator

 

[vaibhavpisal]

Mario Kart.

Splatoon.

Maybe Animal Crossing but that sucks.

 

[BlackTron]

Games that sorely need performance boosts like Zelda.

 

[kanjobazooie]

Pikmin.

 

[Portugeezer]

Mario Kart... Tour

 

[Robb]

Prettty much all the heavy hitters. I could do without stuff like 1-2 Switch or LABO, for example. But I’d be perfectly happy to see everything else.

 

[Punished Miku]

Nintendo would never port to Steam. They'd have their own storefront, and everyone would use it.

 

[Astral Dog]

I thought it would be something like Mario x Rabbids if they wanted to test the waters, its already published by Ubisoft even if it uses Nintendo IP

 

[Robb]

Mario Kart... Tour

 

[Solidus_T]

Zelda would be nice.

 

[AV]

Not happening, but even if they did decide to dip a toe into PC waters, it'd be their own launcher and old games would cost an absolute fortune - as they already do on their own platforms.

Would throw money at them for day-and-date PC but that's just never happening, they play their own game.

 

[Darkness_Arises]

Xenoblade Chronicles DE, 2 and 3. These games would really shine on PC. I would easily double dip for these.

 

[Holammer]

If I had one choice, it would be "Splatoon PC", which would be Splatoon 3 including remastered story campaigns from 1&2. I think it would sell gangbusters on PC, even shitkicking Helldivers 2's sales numbers.

It's such a complete package with Singleplayer, PVE & PVP, it's almost criminal to let it languish on Switch (& WiiU).

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

My only hope is that all their games require a Nintendo account.

 

[JCK75]

They should make a new Splatoon game and make it multiplatform (for a larger, longer lasting player base).
but fuck.. while I like splatoon they beef it up... like a live rotation of a decent selection of maps.

 

[Hudo]

Nintendoland with a message at the end of each minigame saying "Buy a Switch 2, motherfucker".

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

 

[recursive]

Going to have to go with the xenoblade chronicles games. Would be nice to play in 4k and higher framerates.

 

[SJRB]

Zelda I guess? Can't wait to mod the CJ model in the game instead of Link.

My only hope is that all their games require a Nintendo account.

Excuse me, I'm only outraged when it's Sony that requires an account.

[Magic Carpet]

Is Mario Galaxy still unavailable for download on the Switch? If so, that.

 

[Spukc]

Fire emblem

So i can show nintendo again it fucking sucks

 

[TintoConCasera]

I thought all Nintendo games were on PC already?

So what would you choose?

 

[Kssio_Aug]

 

[Zannegan]

For me? Kid Icarus: Uprising. Game was made for mouselike controls, and PC is a platform where more niche games can find dedicated fanbases that keep their multiplayer alive for years.

For good business sense? Splatoon.

Either way, if they do ever launch a game on Steam, I'm sure they'll Monkey's Paw it by requiring a subscription for online play, and the outrage will be incredible.

Alternatively, bringing their entire retro catalogue up through the Gamecube to the table would be cool and might make them a decent chunk of change. They'd probably prefer to keep them as subscription rewards though.

 

[spons]

 

[Mr Moose]

Port begging thread?

Mario Kart.

 

[Guilty_AI]

At this point i'm pretty sure all the emulated stuff surparsses anything Nintendo would ever do on PC.

But i guess a Xenoblade Chronicles X with working Co-op.

 

[AV]

So what would you choose?

... From what?

 

[LordOfChaos]

Easily Tears of the Kingdom, as much as Nintendo fans say they don't need power because of art style, they're just wrong, the whole time playing it I wished it was in better resolution and with better AA/AF filtering

 

[Dorago]

Those recompilations of N64 games make the most sense. They'll never do it though.

 

[Topher]

 

[Sokka]

I think if Nintendo decides to enter the PC market, they would offer their games through a cloud gaming service.

Nintendo is very protective of their brand so not giving file access by going the cloud route only would offer more control and protection.

 

[Merkades]

If I am limited to one series, then Xenoblade. I have only played the first 2 (that is to say 1 and X), but they were pretty great. Nothing does exploration like that, at least that I am aware of.

 

[64gigabyteram]

Mario Kart.

Splatoon.

Maybe Animal Crossing but that sucks.

replace Animal Crossing with Smash in that case.

Leave the singleplayer stuff for Switch and put the multiplayer on PC- easy extra revenue.

 

[REDRZA MWS]

Steam all day every day, and gladly. I’ve forgotten about Nintendo since they stopped caring about putting out capable hardware.

 

[64gigabyteram]

I thought all Nintendo games were on PC already?

If you want to play them online Emulation isn't gonna cut it. and 3 of their biggest IP are online only/enhanced games (Mario Kart, Smash, Splatoon)

 

[64gigabyteram]

Power isn't important because of realistic graphics- it's important because of performance. No one wants a realistic zelda but everyone would love a 4k 120FPS Zelda. Just how it is

 

[TintoConCasera]

Don't be so sure about that! Later versions of emulators allow for online play. Tried it with Monster Hunter GU and it seemed to work great, although I dunno if it works for all games tho.

 

[64gigabyteram]

I mean connecting to Nintendo servers and playing with other Nintendo people. Like of course emulators are gonna have online play with other emulator users- that's a really limited pool of people though.

Not sure I want to play with those "Nintendo people"...

Nah just kidding. And yeah, you are right, the pool is quite limited but I think it's cool the feature exists. Those multiplayer modes will still be playable even after Nintendo pulls the plug on the servers.

 

[poodaddy]

Tears of the Kingdom. With proper performance and image quality, along with mod support, that could be the game of forever.

 

[Kataploom]

Xenoblade, all of them

 

[BlackTron]

People in here talking about how Nintendo would do it, if they did it. I mean, a Nintendo putting games on PC would be a completely different Nintendo from the one we have today so why try to guess how they would handle the launcher or whatever based on past behavior.

Based on past behavior, the ports aren't coming.

 

[Cert.in.Death]

Super Mario…

Run

 

[ReBurn]

Can't think of a single Nintendo game that I'd want on PC. It would just feel wrong not playing on Nintendo hardware.

 

[MagiusNecros]

Eternal Darkness

 

[Beechos]

Is there any reason pc people don't just buy the switch game dump it and play on emu at much better performance?
