It’s not bad that they’re doing the port, the bad thing is that they’re doing the ports instead of develop new games.
Nintendo: You want a new Mario kart ? Here comes Mario kart 8 Deluxe
Consumer: Wait a minute...that’s not a new game it’s just a port, what’s about Mario kart 9?
Nintendo: you got Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Mario Kart 9 will come with Our new console in few years but we will release a purchasable DLC very soon .
Everybody who own a Wii U and waiting for new games are fu**ed by Nintendo, but hey: you have the chance to buy the same game again for the same price you payed for the Wii U version...that’s so sweet isn’t it?
Hm fascinating post that says much about you, you have a Wii U, which sold poorly and around 12 million in 5 years worldwide and say that more people shouldn't be able to play the fantastic games that were on the Wii U, so basically this post is a big F you to people who don't own a Wii U? That's the gist im getting from you.
Switch sold more units than Wii U within 1 year, also I will add a very long post but those Wii U games cost Nintendo alot of money to develop and they probably didn't make enough throughout Wii U lifetime to offset the development costs, so why not bring them over to Switch, not only will more people be able to play it but also Nintendo will make money to offset the development costs.
Also one more thing buddy, you may think ports are bad but not if you can take them on the go, with you everywhere, Nintendo has a porting team that's porting these Wii U games, while there main team is working on new titles, it takes time to create new games, look at last year and all those new Nintendo games, you do realize that yes this year will be a year full of Wii U ports but it also helps Nintendo develop games longer and you do want games as great as BOTW and Mario Odyssey, don't you? Well that takes time, they cant just whip one out just for you within a year, it's not like in the NES days, these ports are helping sell more Switches and Nintendo needs to keep the momentum up, not like with Wii U, where there was absolutely no momentum and it took forever to get a new Nintendo game.
