Porting #7

Distributing games onto other platforms like consoles is definitely important for reaching out and providing choice to people.

While I personally greatly prefer gaming on PC, part of that is that is also accepting that every PC setup is different, and consoles are kinda like simplified PCs, not my style but hey.

I've done some research on consoles:

XBox One support however does look really good and someone shared their experiences here: http://www.html5gamedevs.com/topic/29953-xbox-one-html5-game-dev/

Nintendo Web Framework allows you to port games to the Wii U. I've not been able to confirm any support currently or coming to Switch yet. Switch doesn't even have a web browser. Wii U also does not support WebGL and performance is reported to be unplayable for realtime games.

Alternatively, you can look into companies that will help port over a game for you such as Play Every Ware, they have noteably ported over Elliot Quest from ImpactJS.
