The Nintendo Switch is filling out its library with PC Games.

Jimrpg · Sep 17, 2018

I recently got my first Switch game despite not having a Switch (NBA 2k19, there was a price error so I got it for 50% off). I decided to make a list of games that I would want to buy if I got a Switch. I figured I would get a Switch once I got to 10 games. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Splatoon 2, Fire Emblem Warriors, Dark Souls Remastered, Civilization VI, Football Manager Touch 2019, Cities: Skylines, Diablo Eternal Edition, Divinity Original Sin 2. I started to realise these were all PC Games.

My point? There isn't really another way to play 'handheld' PC Games, besides the Switch or the GPD Win 1/2. You could stream it I suppose, but I'll leave that one out because technically the game is not native to the device. The Win 2 (yes, I bought one) remains a bit of a loose canon for me as there's a bit of extra tweaking involved to get the game running amongst other things. If you just want to buy a game and have it work 95% of the time, a dedicated gaming device is a safer bet (no disrepect to the Win 2 fans).

What PC Games do you want to see on Switch?

Me -

Very impressed by what I've seen so far on Steam, and I think the style and theme would definitely suit a handheld playstyle.

Please bring more WRPGs to the Switch. Thanks.

Dark Souls is now a PC game?

Durante says it is.

Ok you win - but I have it on PC (and never opened my PS3 copy).

Enemy Unknown could be more likely because of the system specs - but I'd much prefer XCOM 2 (maybe with WOTC) on Switch

ghoulie · Sep 17, 2018

Since when is Original Sin 2 a switch game?

Bazry · Sep 17, 2018

Command and Conquer Collection

8 Bit Armies was announced early last year and not heard a thing about it since

wbloop · Sep 17, 2018

You mentioned Original Sin 2... am I missing something or has it been announced for Switch? Or is this just the list of games you wish were on the Switch?

Anarki · Sep 17, 2018

Did I miss D:OS2 Switch announcement?

Deleted member 4044 · Sep 17, 2018

Now that we're getting Diablo, gotta think Starcraft 2 on Switch won't be long behind. Would be perfect for it

rockx4 · Sep 17, 2018

I had no idea Original Sin 2 for switch was a thing... it sounds good, as well as ppl wanting more wrpg. I'd be on board for that.

Is it another perfect port begging thread?

There's no announcement but I'm going off this -

I don't think Larian announced a NSW version for Divinity OS2.

You are probably talking about Pillars of Eternity 2

BringBackSonics · Sep 17, 2018

I'd love to see stellaris for the Switch.

Hoping if cities sells enough, ck2 and stellaris are next from paradox.

Bedameister · Sep 17, 2018

I'd love to have an Anno game on the Switch. I don't care if it's 1800 or an older one. And the Settlers, too.

unicornKnight · Sep 17, 2018

Ubisoft bring Might and Magic VI, VII, VIII please.

No I made this thread with good intentions. :)

Seriously though - I bought a Win 2 earlier this year. I bought a bunch of games in a Steam Sale to play on it. Didn't like the system that much, so I guess the Switch is the next best thing.

What has that to do with PC? It's filling out its library with third party games, yes, but that has nothing to with "PC games". 95% of them are also available on PS4 or Xbox One.

How is a kb+m intensive RTS perfect for the Switch? You're better off hoping for Overwatch.

My man.

i have all (well... most of) the paradox games on PC. I'm betting that these are in the works.

Lots of these games were born and/or timed exclusive on PC.

There's precedent for it with the original Starcraft on N64. We know Nintendo and Blizzard have a good working relationship, only more evident with the Diablo port

Also as OP said, PC games sell on Switch

Nanashrew · Sep 17, 2018

OP forgot Rebel Galaxy Outlaw.

As someone who doesn't own a PC, I'm really looking forward to games like Civ 6 coming to Switch.

Me too.

I was wholly unimpressed with Civ Rev on mobile and need the full game.

Not old ports, day and date release with PC, if possible. I've lost faith in CRPG developers in implementing controller support in their games. Even after the console version is released, there's still no update for controller support on PC. If I have an option to buy on Switch (or PS4) from the start, I won't buy it on PC. Larian RPGs is an exception here as they can implement controller support on PC at launch, at least for Original Sin 2.

They were originally PC games, that's the point. Most indie games too.

I actually don't know that game.

TheMoon · Sep 17, 2018

Wii U would have been a better platform for all of these, thanks to the incredibly versatile UI options. But for obvious reasons that potential was left untapped. Glad we're at least getting this now.

rockx4 · Sep 17, 2018

Baldur's gate and Icewind Dale series would be great... and an Ultima 7 remaster (but that would never happen).

Well I have good news for you! The developer did a 1 hour gameplay video on IGN and talks about all the mechanics and systems.

Despite your best intentions, the thread seems framed in a way that encourages port begging.
