Nintendo has such a long history with square it doesn't seem weird to me. FF7 even started development as an N64 game. Although Nintendo apparently did tell square to "never come back" after they lost ff7 to Sony...so I do see your point.

Non-Exclusives That Just *Feel* Wrong On Other Consoles.

Jesus Christ, some of you people are genuinely weird.
Well, it may be because he doesn't make a very good one?
I was almost a purely Nintendo kid growing up, so Final Fantasy 7 was like the awesome killer game I could never play on my Nintendo consoles haha
It was great playing it of course, just felt weird in the beginning
Every PC centric game on console is a big no to me, but this must be the worst lol
I tried mgs2 on xbox one and it felt weird, but that's probably due to how you cancel shots without the capacitive buttons. I bet that control scheme would feel just as weird on ps4.
Are you really surprised that a 1st party IP is only available on the platform of its owner?
You can't think of ANY games? At all?
Also... why are you bringing in 1st party games in a discussion about 3rd party games?
I've completed Banjo-Kazooie multiple times on Xbox btw. It doesn't feel out of place on the platform at all.

lol this actually reminds me of when WWF Monday Night Raw moved to TNN. That just felt off. Same damn show. Same writers, performers, everything was the same! But the little station logo in the corner blew my mind.

Maybe he's not some loser who thinks it's wrong to play a game on a different platform.

imagine being so consumed by console identity that you find it "wrong" to play any game on a certain platform. The only "wrong" thing is having that feeling in the first place.
I briefly played MGS5 on Xbox at a friend's and that felt pretty weird. I'd probably feel the same about Crash.
I think a few too many people are calling this out as crazy and weird. There are certain games and series that you can associate with certain platforms. It's pretty natural if they were once exclusive to a system or you just always happened to play them on a system. It's not to say games being multi platform and available to more people is bad. I'm glad people can play the games I mentioned. It just feels odd when you're so used to them on one system.

This is needlessly harsh. A lot of these feelings are just retained nostalgia from our childhoods. Most of us don't actually have an issue with it, it's just an odd feeling is all.
I was just poking fun. I thought it was funny and ironic.
It's just a fun thread. It's weird to see console warring in absolutely everything.
Sure, Halo on Switch tomorrow would suddenly feel natural to everyone.
What a bizzarely aggressive post. When you're used to a series using the same button prompts, on the same platform, being touted by marketing and fanbases as being a must have for certain platforms and you see it in another console it's kinda funny/weird. No one here is saying it's bad
Absolutely zero fun allowed on this website. It's not that fucking serious
Not so much a thing anymore as games release on more platforms. However I will say back in the day seeing an Xbox 360 version of Final Fantasy XIII was strange at first.
No, not really. It's entirely possible, depending on age and the kind of/amount of/place you've played games, that someone may have never experienced this particular feeling. He's not even attempting to make a point here, he's asking people what games made them feel this way, but there are a lot of clueless "Ugh games should be on all platforms" posts that CLEARLY don't get that's not the sentiment of the OP at ALL. You obviously included.
This trash tier post included.
Crash going multiplat, Sonic on Nintendo hardware, Spyro going multiplat, FFXIII being played on an Xbox system after the mainlines being exclusive pretty much since FFVII to Sony. In regards to the OP, Yakuza was originally pitched to Nintendo but they turned the series down. What could have been lol.
Not a "console warrior" or anything. But those games did feel weird playing on platforms other than their original ones.

We're not allowed to answer "zero"? Because that's basically what we're doing.
999 is the only one I would say feels out-and-out wrong on anything not the DS (it's still a terrific game regardless, but those who have played will know why)
Aside from that, I'm more happy than anything else games go to more platforms that there isn't really any wrongness or weirdness.
Oddly enough within the same family, playing a mainline Pokemon game on the big screen without the likes of a peripheral like the Game Boy Player felt a little weird with Pokemon Shield.

LOL,yea......I bought my PS1 with a copy of Tomb Raider,it's always felt like a PlayStation game to me even though it hardly ever was....that was a real WTF moment.
Wasn't it rumored that one of the reasons MS bought the IP was that Epic was going to port the games to PS3? I thought I remember hearing that
There are a bunch of examples of games that became so attached to PlayStation because of platform exclusive sequels that kinda feel weird remembering that they were also on Saturn.
Resident Evil
Tomb Raider
Wipeout
Like Wipeout. It's always wild to me how much of a PlayStation game that is yet I have a Saturn version sitting on my shelf. Let's not go into Wipeout 64...
Any classic game I grew up with on a different system, it's why I actually haven't bought some modern ports, despite it being easier to run, I just want to use the same controller, FUEL MY NOSTALGIA.
It's also why I need an N64 controller adapter for PC, but I also need a better N64 control stick lmao. Kinda stuck there. Want to do randomizers, but the only controlers I have are shiiiiiiiiit.
Also I really need to pick up a blissbox, but 120 for the 4 players version, aghhhh.... just not a good time to be spending that :(
But port everything, seriously, I'm not bothered by it lol.

Wait, this is mostly weird because Gears is actually an Xbox/Microsoft exclusive IP right? Have I been wrong about that assumption?
I would say Capcom VS SNK on the gamecube felt wrong, but that might be due to the controller.
Virtua Fighter on a non-sega system always kind of makes me sad.

TR started as a PC game, sony bought it as a timed exclusive, "exactly" like microsoft did.
Sorry. I misread your post. The OP and the people who feel like him/her doesn't deserve to be ridiculed for it.
"Wrong" is too strong, but there are definitely a few that feel weird.
It felt fucking weird when Sonic started showing up on Nintendo platforms, let's be honest.
Currently, having a Steam page for Horizon: Zero Dawn feels weird.
Also, don't lie, if Nintendo games started showing up on Steam one day it would be weird as fuck.

Well, it's been on pc almost as long but yea it's pretty synonymous with the success of the 360
Tomb Raider 2 being exclusive on PS1. Didn't feel normal at all.
Wrong wouldn't be the word I'd use, but Yakuza without PlayStation prompts always looks weird for me.
If I wake up tomorrow and Halo Master Chief Collection is installed on my Switch or PS4, I'm allowed to find that a bit weird without actually complaining. That scenario is basically the sentiment of this thread. It's not that hard.
