AnimalsDream, 2 miesiące temu do games w Hades 2 will be a Nintendo Switch 2 console exclusive at launch

Having already purchased the Steam early access version, I was ready to be pissed off until I read further in.

I’m sure they’re getting a ton of cash from Nintendo.

I’ll stick to the steam deck and recommend it to anyone who asks.

Considering that 99% of other “portable consoles” on the market are actually handhelds pc, which can download it fron Steam… No. It won’t be.

I hope they’re prepared to have a fraction of the success they would have if they didn’t continue the absurd concept of console exclusivity.

It’s also on steam, like already you can buy it in Early Access

I don’t think many people who aren’t to Hades are like “aw fuck I can’t play it on my PS5??”

The three Xbox users are in shambles though

JakobFel, 2 miesiące temu

Ah, didn’t know that it’s on Steam. Well, there’s that at least. Still not a fan of console exclusivity either way, though.

I needed to check. “console exclusive” means it’s coming to pc and both switches.

Oh both switches?

That seems like a questionable move tbh

very_well_lost, 2 miesiące temu

I suspect that Nintendo is offering them more than enough money for exclusivity to make it no longer ‘questionable’ for Supergiant, at least from a financial perspective.

Sanctus, 2 miesiące temu

I’d imagine the Hades IP makes good money on Steam. It must be a guap unless I am dead wrong.

very_well_lost, 2 miesiące temu

Hades 2 is only console exclusive to the Switch 2; it’s also releasing on Steam.

Sanctus, 2 miesiące temu

Ah, yeah I didnt gleam that from reading the word console a million times in the article. Thank you. It makes sense now. Nintendo money + Steam sales.

Stovetop, 2 miesiące temu

It’s no different from Hades 1. It was exclusive to PC and Switch at launch, then released for other consoles 11 months later. If it worked out for that game, I don’t see why it wouldn’t for this one.

Sanctus, 2 miesiące temu

The only thing I know about Hades is its on Steam and every character it shows is chiseled as hell.

RebekahWSD, 2 miesiące temu

Every character in the first game is hot. Every character in the second game is also hot.

Then there’s Dionysus.

DoucheBagMcSwag, 2 miesiące temu do games w Hades 2 will be a Nintendo Switch 2 console exclusive at launch

Methinks that’s why Silksong has taken forever to come out. Will likely be a console exclusive as well for a time

ampersandrew, 2 miesiące temu

We already know it’s going to be on Switch 2 and Xbox, including Game Pass day 1. It’s not going to be exclusive, but at the very least, Microsoft paid handsomely for it.

DoucheBagMcSwag, 2 miesiące temu

Oh meaning PlayStation will have to wait then

ampersandrew, 2 miesiące temu

Microsoft is bringing their own games to PlayStation at this point. It’s possible it’s kept off PlayStation, but I doubt it. Team Cherry knows what their game is worth, and that would be a massive buyout.

zipzoopaboop, 2 miesiące temu

Silksong hasn’t taken much longer than og hollow Knight. They just announced it too early

Does the Steam Deck count as a PC or as a console?

ampersandrew, 2 miesiące temu

In this case, it counts as a PC, but given that you have to ask the question, I think that speaks volumes.

simple, 2 miesiące temu

PC.

mj_marathon, 2 miesiące temu

The dictionary definition of “console” would include the deck AND gaming PCs.

4am, 2 miesiące temu

The line in bluring, but the Deck can run Windows if you want, it’s a PC stuffed into a controller (and that’s not a dig at it, either)

JakobFel, 2 miesiące temu

Both. The future isn’t in consoles, it’s in console-like PCs. Just wait until Valve drops the Fremont, I believe it’ll change absolutely everything.

ColdWater, 2 miesiące temu

PC, because console has less games than PC

TurboHarbinger, 2 miesiące temu do games w Hades 2 will be a Nintendo Switch 2 console exclusive at launch

exclusive

Bro, there is no other consoles.

This shit is already exclusive on PC. I bet it can run on the shittiest Enterprise PC you can find. You don’t even need to buy a 450usd consoles.

News are so retarded these days.

I always used wave birds back in the day.

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA, 2 miesiące temu do games w Switch 2 GameCube controller will only be offered to those who pre-order the console

sure i’ll only buy my contollers for nintendo consoles from 8bitdo from now on. good idea, nintendo.

Nikls94, 2 miesiące temu do games w Switch 2 GameCube controller will only be offered to those who pre-order the console

It’s just the first batch, calm down…

SpiceDealer, 2 miesiące temu (edited 2 miesiące temu) do games w Switch 2 GameCube controller will only be offered to those who pre-order the console

Yes, Nintendo! Please paywall my nostalgia of the very first game console I ever played! Charge me an exorbitant price during an economic crisis to satisfy my childlike need to regress to a time before I understood what money was!

Mikrochip, 2 miesiące temu

Hang on, Nintendo fans are into findom? That would explain a few things. On a related note, I think I finally understood why people keep giving Chris Roberts money for Star Citizen.

XM34, 2 miesiące temu

I mean, I bought the starter ship for SC which was 40€ I believe and I still play occaisonally. I’d say I definitely got my money’s worth out of that game.

Abnorc, 2 miesiące temu do games w Switch 2 GameCube controller will only be offered to those who pre-order the console

I guess they don’t want your money if you’re not buying the switch. Strange move, but I guess it’s their prerogative to alienate more consumers.

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA, 2 miesiące temu

or if you can’t afford it when you get the console.

Schmoo, 2 miesiące temu do games w Switch 2 GameCube controller will only be offered to those who pre-order the console

I have the version that was made for the OG Switch and the build quality is garbage tier. Developed stick drift in both sticks in less than a month.

can, 2 miesiące temu (edited 2 miesiące temu)

Really? I have the Wii U ones and they put up with a lot of abuse. The rubber on some sticks have completely deteriorated but they still input accurately.

It’s honestly what’s made me so bitter about the Joy Cons.

als, 2 miesiące temu

I’m intrigued to see if the new switch, with its higher price tag, lasts any longer or if it’s gimped to make consumers keep buying replacements again.

Nikls94, 2 miesiące temu

Totally, my white Wii U one turned to SNES-Yellow overnight lol First the bottom half, just overnight, then two weeks later the top half.

Still going strong after 4500 hours of smashing
