OverWatch looks good, but it should of been released for the Wii U. If it comes out for the next Nintendo console, would you play it?

It never made sense why a game would not be released for every console. They would make way more money.

except they wouldn't because if the wii u playerbase was large enough and worth the cost to port it over, they would have done it.

the wii u is dead bud

That is why I asked about OverWatch coming out on the next Nintendo console. Would you play it, as an older game, on a new system?

Why the fuck would I play a shooter on a console when I can play it on my PC?

It seemed like you were just talking about you like a PC better than a console.

Put you down for a NO.

Not necessarily. It takes man power to port games to other consoles, so the profit would have to be greater than what the cost of said man power was.
Not to mention the cost of making patches for multiple consoles.

Those are some good points.

They could pull an Assassin's Creed, and wait until the third episode to port it to Nintendo.

If it's just for Overwatch, then getting it on pc would probably be better. Seems like the player base is bigger on PC.

I can't see it being released on the next Nintendo console, I don't think Nintendo know what they are doing now days, plus by the time the NX rolls around the player base for Overwatch will probably be huge and put off new players.

I understand. I prefer physical copies of games over digital ones.

It is fine if they want less players. I am still waiting for God Of War to be ported to Nintendo.

Don't count on that. Not going to happen unless they port it to xbox first

They have ported Assassin's creed, which nobody thought would ever happen. God of War and Kingdom Hearts could be next.

I didn't rule it out completely. But I would be very surprised if they decided to port it to WiiU before porting it to Xbox. Seems more likely that porting it to Xbox is more profitable.

They could do both at the same time. After a few months when sales cool down, it could help them make more sales and cash.

Another vote for no. It is a good thing the Wii U has Splatoon and Smash Bros.

I'd love if most games that come out would be released on WiiU, but i think even if overwatch was on it I'd stick to PC.
PC usually has a bigger online community and will likely still be active long after PS4/XBONE get replaced, just look at TF2 still being played 10 years later.

PC may have a big audience, but the Wii U could of used OverWatch. When the next Nintendo console comes out they could port OverWatch one and two in a combo pack. That would be a great deal, and some good gaming.
