Some games have gimmicks tied to Switch like gyro or joycons.

It can be worked around though. Like Skyward Sword looked cool, but was on Wii and required motion controls, so I refused to play it. But when it released for switch, they had to make sure it was playable on Switch Lite too. To do this, they game it the option to be played with button controls only.

Skyward Sword was one of my top 3 games on Switch as a result.

I know, because I do. However, we have both seen the threads where people throw a fit if a game on Steam doesn't cater to KB&M.

I am saying they can work around that, but it does require extra work.

my friend says playing games on a nintendo switch is different

He says that nintendo games are specifically made for that platform so they feel different and shouldnt be ported to pc or other consoles and i m struggling to understand what are they doing that cant be done on a other controller.Can we not play those switch games on other controllers?

Oh no! If your friend says so! I guess it invalidate absolutely everything else anybody would ever say!

Meanwhile, you can literally just get a rom and an emulator for about any game console in existence and emulate exactly what that game was supposed to be all about. Of course the new Switch won't have that kind of support straight away and it is frowned upon even by that same community of people when the console itself is still being sold and supported. But if you take for example emulators for the original NES, you'll find that every single game people wanted to play is available and this since ages ago.

When you look at ports of some game companies, some of them actually are roms which they try to hide from you with different UI, trying to boast to you that they have been "digitally enhanced" or some other kind of diversion... But really, how hard is it exactly? Not that difficult at all, at least from a technological standpoint. Anything can be done. It is far more a question of marketing and IP protection than anything else. And Nintendo is known to be the most active company when it come to dishing out actions against fans who just want to share their joy and discovery of the games in question. Not to mention actual bad actors like hackers, pirates...

In the end Nintendo just want to make money, like any other big corporation. Anybody who listen to them without using critical thinking is simply and plainly getting brainwashed toward their own agenda. Every single corporation do it too, including the government. It is pretty standard and the fact that you might even believe it to some extent as well as the way you engineered your post make me believe that you are most probably pre 20 years old yet.

Don't fall for it. Develop your critical thinking and stop taking everything people tell you as gospel.

i dont believe it of course i was asking him how it is different why does it feel different and he said nothing.People probably said the same thing about playstation games too but look we can play them on pc.There shpuldnt be any exclusives

They're like this because they are insecure about their purchase. They know it's inferior in every way so invent reasons as to why it's not.

It's the same thing when Playstation and Xbox players say they prefer 30fps in certain games.
