Forums - Gaming Discussion - What are your favorite REAL exclusive games?

Every Smash Bros. (except kinda 4) and several recent Switch games (Odyssey, Astral Chain, Metroid Dread).

Can't think of many older games that haven't gotten ported. Galaxy 2 is the only one that comes to mind.

Unless we count REAL PC exclusives, cause I got many favorites among those: Warcraft III, WoW, Black Mesa, System Shock 2 and The Stanley Parable (for a little while yet).

Edit: Remembered a few: Golden Sun 1 & 2 (GBA) and Tales of Xillia 1 & 2 (PS3)

As the title suggests, and when I mean real, I mean REAL. Like no remasters, ports, remakes etc.. If it's exclusive on console but also on PC that doesn't count.   These exclusive games can only be bought and played on one single system only (legit wise, ROMS doesn't count).  I'll let you guys draw the line with arcades because that seems like a different world than the rest. (Well this is my definition of 'real' exclusives so don't kill me if you have a different definition please)

Here's my list so far, I tried to check if these games are on other systems but I couldn't find it.  If I'm wrong please let me know. 

So what are yours? If there's something that you guys listed and peaks my interest then I'll definitely have to backtrack on that.

------

Super Nintendo: Super Mario RPG
Sega Genesis: X-Men 1 & 2
Playstation Portable: Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII
Nintendo Wii: Tatsunoko vs Capcom
Playstation 3: 3D Dot Game Heroes, Metal Gear Solid 4
Playstation 4: Bloodborne
Arcade: The Simpsons, Alien vs Predator (Capcom)





The Simpsons is not a real arcade exclusive not only was it ported to the 360 and PS3 in 2012 there was also a C64 and MS-DOS port in 1991 the same year it was released in arcades.  Also, it would have been ported to home consoles if Acclaim didn't have the exclusive right to make console Simpsons games at the time.

The Simpsons (video game) - Wikipedia



In no particular order -

PS1 - Tekken 3, R4: Ridge Racer Type 4
PS2 - TimeSplitters
PS3 - InFamous
PS4 - The Last Guardian
Xbox - Fable II
Xbox 360 - Lost Odyssey
SNES - Batman Returns
NS - Super Mario Odyssey
PC - Unreal Tournament 2004, CS Go, WoW

Edit: Eh scrap what I said

I'm kinda amazed to see no port for Black Mesa for consoles. Great game. Adding to that CounterStrike Global Offensive in there (PC) and well as WoW - for me.

The only Zelda games I can think of that are still 100% exclusive are A Link Between Worlds, Triforce Heroes and Age of Calamity. Every other game has been ported, remastered, remade or emulated via VC on several systems.



Currently as it stands,

PC - Homeworld

When you say "true exclusives" do things like virtual console count as not true exclusives?
