An absurd hypothetical: What if Nintendo went PC exclusive?

And Nintendo wouldn't need a lot of work to make their controllers work for PC, given that they already use bluetooth.

But the thing is that Nintendo will still be Nintendo, and with that I mean that they won't go with Steam but rather create their own service to keep having 100% control of their games.

I'd really like to see them make use of the Wii U gamepad on PC and maybe future devices of theirs, I can definitely see them making their own version of Steam which would be nice to have some firm competition against Valve (force them a bit more to clean up a bit) and maybe Nintendo could even do their own version of Steam sales and become renowned for it.

I'd love if they could make the GamePad work on PC, to play both WiiU games ported to PC but also to take advantage of the Off-TV (I guess Off-PC then) gameplay as Nvidia does with its Shield.

In regards to compete with Steam, I doubt they'd be able to do it. Other publishers that are a lot more known in the PC space like Ubisoft and EA or good services like GoG have failed to do that, so a newcommer like Nintendo would have a lot more troubles to do that.
