Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Third party question/solution for people with Wii U's

So, every time some game is not coming to Wii U. We get threads like this (http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=180861&page=1). People come in and take their usual digs at Wii U, mock its power, userbase and act smug on internet. Well as smug one can be on internet since we are all super smart, super models here. 

Now obviously they say if you want to play the "real mature" games you must get PS4BONE and they might have a point there. Some of you though are as allergic to that idea as those "hardcore" gamers are to mushroom kingdom. There is a 3rd way out though....

Why not play these third party games on a PC? Everyone has some kind of computer. I mean you need one to surf awesome website like "vgchartz" which are a pain to navigate on phones. Another interesting thing is that with the advancement in computer processors and video cards, you most likely will end up getting the best experience of playing that 3rd party game on pc.

Did i mention free online multiplayer? You can also buy most AAA 3rd party games for fraction of a price you are used to paying on consoles. Services like Steam, Greenmangaming, Humble Store, Battlenet and ummm Origin, etc. Also if your computer is not strong enough, there is nothing a $100-150 video card won't fix. Even then there is a vast amount of back catalogue available for you to go through. If a game is actually good and worth your time. I doubt being a few years old is going to hurt that. 

So, why are you not gaming on computer. I mean trolls idiots forum dwellers might use the phrase, "but but you only buy Nintendo consoles for Nintendo games, then why do you want these 3rd party games". Now that might sound harsh coming from both sides but there is truth to that. Unlike other consoles, the games that sell well on Nintendo consoles are first party. 

For the occasional 3rd party game that you DO want. Play it on the pc and switch back and forth faster to engage in heated debates we have on this lovely website which is best viewed on a computer. 

Hope this made some sense.

I have a PC and a Wii U/3DS so basically I got everything I need for this generation. I'm not gonna buy a 400/500 console for games I can get cheaper and prettier on PC. Wii U is for the unique exclusives only Nintendo can deliver.



Indeed, the best combo is PC+Nintendo, no doubt about it.

I do agree but not everyone has a gaming PC or they dont want to play on a pc either... specially if all your friends are on consoles

But look on the bright side... Least massive amounts of first party developers aren't leaving Nintendo



                  

PC Specs: CPU: 7800X3D || GPU: Strix 4090 || RAM: 32GB DDR5 6000 || Main SSD: WD 2TB SN850

I agree. The more people that join the PC Master Race the better! ^_^

PC + Nintendo consoles is what I have for 15 years. Only had a PS1 as a kid.

The systems with the crappiest ports...

I'm sure devs leave Nintendo all the time. We just don't hear about it because Nintendo has them quietly taken care of.



Well, at this point it's a bit too far gone for Nintendo to get the 3rd party sadly, so I have to agree. Namely because I got a new PC :P



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.
