Not really. It's a correction on literal definitions that some people seem to be confused about.

There are different "types" of exclusives.

Platform exclusive means it only exists on ONE platform. The Switch is a singular platform.
The WiiU is a singular platform.

If a game has released on both platforms it is no longer a platform exclusive.

****

Now a Nintendo exclusive title means it only releases on Nintendo devices... And that could be the NES and the Switch, doesn't matter.


But when someone *claims* a ported WiiU game (That includes Breath of the Wild) is a Switch exclusive, that my good friend... Is just a blatant lie... And anyone who tries to counter-argue that point looses any and all credibility in my eyes as clearly they don't give two shits about facts.

Yep, just checked, Gris is on everything but Xbox.

Daemon X Machina is still an exclusive as the only console it's on. Came to PC later but Switch is still the only console you can play it on.

There is no room for interpretation here. It's a Switch exclusive or it's not.

Breath of the Wild is not. Neither is Mario Kart 8.

I don't see how it's not useful? You don't actually loose anything out of it.

What you consider is irrelevant, we are talking the literal definition here... What you are attempting to achieve is twisting the definition for whatever reason.

Then it's a Nintendo exclusive, not a Switch exclusive.

That's not my logic or definition.

If the game gets an official release on another platform, then it's not exclusive. Simple as that.

And if that isn't the case (Like you are arguing) we can start to include the PC, which can run Breath of the Wild via CEMU perfectly fine using the original code, in-fact better than the WiiU or Switch... Which means it's not even Nintendo exclusive either.

Except you don’t know that.  They could be truly awful.  I would have said Metroid other m was going to be a must have before it came out.  It looked like it was going to be the best Metroid ever made… it ended up being a turd.  I can’t tell you how excited I was for anthem to come out as a huge BioWare fan… and yet it was crap.  Nintendo has released its fair share of clunkers in the past.  No list of must have or recommended games should ever include games that have not been released.  If you want to make a list of exclusives, go for it (that’s pretty much what the op is at this point), but don’t call it a must have list.  

Not out yet so this could age terribly but I feel fairly confident that Mario Party Superstars (assuming u were talking about Super in the post) will be worthy of this once its out.

Basically a list of Nintendo first Party titles of fantastic, apathetic, or dubious quality, depending on the individual.
Granted, there are a few games from other publishers on this list.

Edit: sorry if this seems a bit snarky. ?

I guess I am always simultaneously impressed and underwhelmed by Nintendo. Re-boot camp needs to hurry up!

Breath of the Wild deserves on this list, even though there is a Wii U version. If we exclude it, then The Last of Us doesn't belong in a PS4 exclusive list either and that one is mentioned in such lists all the time. Also, this debate reminds me of tomatoes being a fruit versus a vegetable. Well, TECHNICALLY they are a fruit but on the side of context and common sense they're not. Nobody puts tomates in a damn fruit salad! But sure, some crazy minds would even do that juts to prove a point.

Is it? Or is it mentioned in lists for PlayStation exclusives / Sony exclusives instead? And TLoU doesn't belong in a PS4 exclusive list.

Why not change the thread title to "Nintendo exclusives on Switch must haves" and everybody is happy?

Considering TLOU was released on PS3, sold over 7 million copies eventually become the 3rd best selling PS3 game, and just one year later was released on PS4 I don't know why anyone on their right mind would call it a PS4 exclusive
