The battle to keep their own consoles alive goes through the pathway of exclusive games, but these titles don’t come cheap. The console war has leveled up as the gaming giants have begun to capture the market’s most valuable gaming studios. Nintendo has done something similar, and it has established itself as one of the biggest gaming companies in the world.

No other Japanese gaming giant aside from PlayStation has acquired such an important place. With millions of devices sold and a roster of amazing exclusives, no console maker would like to lose at any cost. But it looks like Nintendo has floundered as a key RPG title and has officially made its debut across PlayStation, Xbox, PC, and more.

Nintendo has lost ‘No More Heroes’ to rival platforms

The hack-and-slash style action RPG title has made its way on Steam, PlayStation Store, Xbox, and more. Granted, this is not the biggest loss the Japanese studio has suffered. Nintendo still houses a ton of amazing titles in Mario, Pokemon, Zelda, and many more. Produced by Goichi Suda studios, the game has been a mainstay on Nintendo consoles for a long time.

The game offers interesting combat, and beautiful locations and only lacks in the aspect of keeping the whole world seem lively. Despite that, the title is indeed a lot of fun, and fans on other platforms will have a blast. Improved hardware and powerful specs will only further boost the game’s performance all the more.

The console-exclusive wars may be good for the studios but not for gamers. Often times being a follower one console maker enables them to gain access to certain titles, while others slip out. This division allows the gaming giants to rake in more revenue and boost the sale of their consoles putting more duress on the pockets of buyers.

It would have been a lot better for the community if all the games came out for each platform. Being able to play PlayStation exclusives on PC has become a reality but the same thing cannot be said about all the Nintendo’s titles. Do you wish to see Nintendo go the same route as PlayStation?
