It's going well; where previously games were split between Wii U and 3DS, now we get everything on one platform, it's better for everyone.

What possible reason is there to bring games like Mario Odyssey or Splatoon 2 to Wii U? That's just pointless.

Reason? Well, how about something lile "we know we fucked up with WiiU, but we're not abandoning our customers", as a show of good faith.

Delivering Breath of the Wild on Wii U was their show of good faith. They gave us what was promised and signed off on a great game, then gave us a better platform to play their new games on.

Yeah, i wouldn't call BotW on WiiU a sign of good faith, they would come off as enormous pricks if BotW was released exlusively on Switch.



To be fair, @HoloDust, assuming most Switch early adopters were hardcore Nintendo fans, the Wii U userbase had fully transfered itself to the new console in about what, six, nine months?

Besides, it's nothing new. The same happened to Super Paper Mario and others back in the GC days. Not to mention your ROTR comparison seems a bit flawed when the PS360 had an userbase of over 160 million versus 12 million for the Wii U.



 

 

 

 

 

Nintendo did right to abandon the Wii U, in my opinion, and I am a day 1 Wii u owner who wishes they'd put all their Wii u games(mainly Pikmin 3 and Mario 3dworld) on the switch so I can get rid of it

Other companies in their position might have. But Nintendo did right by U owners by giving us what was promised, then delivering a far superior successor to the Wii U. That's how you show good faith to your customers; not by wasting resources to prop up a failed system long after it is dead and replaced, but by correcting your mistakes and making sure your next system is better.

Judging by the Switch's meteoric success, it would seem most consumers, including most Nintendo fans, are happy with how things went.

Same, but I wouldn't get rid of mine. I have too much sentiment for it.

I knew you had a soft side! :O

In my opinion the N64 was not just the best console of the 5th gen but, to this day the best console ever created!

I wish Nintendo didn't abandon WiiU like they did, there is really no reason for lot of their Switch games not to have WiiU versions.

There's one good reason: sales. :P

No, I don't mind that at all.

What I do mind is a lack of Pikmin on Switch.

You should go full on, in explosion mode and order Nintendo to make it, or else!

All I can do is yell at them on social media to do things better.

Sounds like a plan!
