Although Nintendo expanded its venture on the mobile platform with projects like Pokémon Go in recent years, they haven’t announced any upcoming PC-exclusive projects yet.

Nintendo’s PC exclusive releases 

Apart from Switch-exclusive games, Nintendo launched some games under the edutainment genre in the 1990s. Edutainment refers to a category of media that took its inspiration from both education and entertainment. Nintendo’s edutainment games featured iconic video game characters like Mario. Nintendo produced these games with the hope of making education more engaging and entertaining for people. 

That’s why these games were interactive and fun with the gameplay combined with learning elements. One of Nintendo’s most popular edutainment games was Mario Teaches Typing, which helped users to learn typing through various challenges and exercises. Set in a fictional Mario-themed environment, this game was one of the PC exclusives of Nintendo.
