@onfy I think I have the middle one as a mount in Final Fantasy XIV
@noiob huh, wasn't expecting that!
@onfy there's a massive crossover event that had us grinding for stuff for days
@noiob the thing is I think of it as a Nintendo franchise and I think the last time a Nintendo franchise appeared on something they didn't make was a pokemon edutainment game in the mid 2000s
@onfy just off the top of my head, SoulCalibur 2 on the Gamecube had Link in 2003, if you wanna count it Rocket League has I think Mario, Luigi and Samus-themed cars
@onfy though technically "hardware they didn't make" is any phone running iOS or Android
@onfy oh and the Chinese Nvidia Shield ports!
@noiob true, the mobile games are some odd desperation caused by the market I guess
the Chinese shield was I guess to crack a market and a test of their porting tech, and maybe out of the hw partnership
@onfy to be fair the Shield and the Switch are kinda the same hardware
@noiob exactly
@onfy kinda wild that Nintendo is the last company that still cares about selling hardware, I think Sony and Microsoft would rather not and Valve just does it because no one else will build what they wanna make
@noiob exactly. link wasn't on SC2 PS2!
