DAEMON X MACHINA releasing on Steam on 13 February
- Thread starter Tizoc
- Start date
I mean, I was going to buy it on Switch for 250 reais, but I guess I can pick it up on Steam for a third of that price. lol
They're not wireless, and afaik have no means of connecting to anything but a Switch.
They wouldn't do anything that would dissuade people from buying games on their platforms.
Switch Pro Controller support is part of Steam Input, and thus should be baked into the client. As already mentioned, the linked controllers aren't wireless, so there's no way to connect them to a PC.
That's still a matter of licensing, isn't it? I can't imagine Marvelous faring any better on that that front than Nintendo would have.
Why not? Wouldn't you as a consumer would like to know? I know I would.
But they have no obligation to give that kind of information. Why are they going to damage the sales of games on their consoles?
no company would do something like that which would effect their revenue for a game release.
Why do you care if that happens? I look this from a pro consumer perspective. I don't like timed exclusive BS.
Sony literally did it for Death Stranding.
You never know, but as long as the costumes exist in some version of the PC version I think it's likely that someone will mod them into other versions.
That's pretty cool. It's one of my favourite Switch games/in my top 5 of last year, and it's certainly a good time.
The game ran brilliantly on Switch, with only a few hitches during really busy scenes, but nothing that makes the game feel unplayable.
It needs to be played with gyro aiming though, for sure. It's so snappy and responsive, due to the fact you don't really need to aim with precision, just with speed.

Just wild these games that had no projected pc release are just appearing. I enjoyed my time in switch, but would have just as well waited for pc version if I only knew.
Expect most (if not all) third party Switch games to be console exclusive.
Hmmm this certainly has me interested. I really hope this does well on PC, I will probably pick this up at some point but my gaming plate is pretty full right now...
Still no reason to not disclose that it's timed exclusive. If other companies can do it so can Nintendo.
What companies are disclosing timed exclusivity? The only examples I know of is Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Death Stranding and in both cases it took a long ass time to finally get an official confirmation.
FFVII Remake was revealed as timed exclusive all the way back in 2015. Death Stranding was close to release but still before release which I think is acceptable. So Sony recently does it, EGS timed exclusives are also disclosed. I don't see why we should not push for this to become the standard, it would only benfit consumers.
Yep. I don't buy any third party "exclusive" on Switch until at least 1 year later.
Daemon on Steam is 1/3 the price I would pay on Switch in my country.
You don't care but you are here telling us that you don't care about the PC release and you are going to the play the game on NSW anyway.
Lol
Huh, interesting time for mid-budget Nintendo exclusives lately, between Octopath, Wonderful 101 and this (and even going back a bit to Devil's Third coming to Steam as RockShot -- I know they're all unrelated, but this type of stuff was previously unheard of, or very rare when Nintendo was the original publisher of the game).
Regardless, I'm glad Daemon X Machina will enjoy a larger audience. It's a super niche game and it revels in that niche, so wider availability will help this one in particular. It was a game I enjoyed a whole lot on Switch last year -- here's what I wrote in our Game of the Year thread:
"God bless a niche. That's where Daemon X Machina lives, and Daemon X Machina is okay living in that niche. Like Travis Strikes again, you could see the 6.5 reviews for this game coming a mile away, because this game wasn't made for the reviewers who'd give it a 6.5 -- it was made for the niche of Armored Core holdout mech lovers who want to spend hours tweaking and testing silly anime robots, grinding to psychotic butt-rock, barely understanding a nonsense quasi-spiritual narrative and slowly learning dense controls and systems until they reveal themselves to be the tools you need to crack the whole thing wide open. I don't think the developers of Daemon X Machina had any illusions about their mainstream success, so they gave themselves the freedom to pile on the strange (you can dress up as Geralt from the Witcher -- with fully licensed DLC -- and buy stat-boosting ice cream to J-pop in this game) and keep supporting their niche game. I live in that niche, too." -- me, January 2020
Yes, I have used the word "niche" a lot in this post. It's true.
