    One can dream… If Apple teams up with Nintendo than that would be brilliant news.

    It’s not inconceivable, the Switch runs on ARM silicon anyway. If Apple is allowed to port to Apple Silicon than that opens up a huge new market for Nintendo. Apple has Arcade in place for smaller titles and Mac for headliners… Sign me up now.

    If they do this to announce Hideo Kojima again then… well, let’s just say that the last few events have been underwhelming to say the least.

      than that opens up a huge new market for Nintendo.

      Way back in 1990 or so, the original id Software team was able to port Super Mario Bros. 3 onto the PC. They sent it to Nintendo, who responded with saying they had no interest in the PC business. That stance has never changed, and I doubt it will now.

      Nintendo may be using an ARM chip, but more importantly, it’s an Nvidia chip, and that’s probably a bigger lock-in than the CPU ISA. Besides, Nintendo wants cheap. Doesn’t make sense for Apple.
