Not for the high-end gaming section of this, but how about this:
Nintendo brings its Nintendo Switch Online virtual console apps to Mac. And this is a Mac exclusive deal.
If you already pay for a Nintendo Switch Online account, then there’s no extra cost for you. Pay for a new account and they’re yours.
The deal would mean Apple also gets to add the NSO Standard level of subscription to Apple Arcade (maybe for an extra cost, maybe not) and an upsell option for the NSO Expansion Pack (that’s N64, GBA and Mega Drive/Genesis).
They could also work this into their Apple One subscription as well.
The benefit to Nintendo is, it exposes a wider audience to some of their classic games, without killing sales of their current system. It acts as a tool to get people to buy their latest system. And they’ve got a new system launching next year, most likely.
For Apple, it would be a major win having Nintendo games available on their platform.

Switch Games on Apple Silicon would be amazing. Imagine Zelda games at 60fps :O
