Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, ARMS, and Splatoon 2 in the first 5 months is better than Wii U (NSMBU, Nintendo Land, LEGO City). In fact I would say for Nintendo releases it's as good of a 5 month span as any Nintendo system has had (Wii and DS inlcuded) in a long time. 

Ultra Street Fighter II, Minecraft, Snipperclips, Fast RMX, Shovel Knight Treasure Trove, Mr. Shifty, NBA Playgrounds, Snake Pass as digital support is also not too bad either. 

Though I have to admit some of those early Wii U multiplats like a COD or Assassin's Creed or a Tekken would be definitely welcome on the Switch. On Switch they'd have more valuable because they'd be portable. 

3DS is at its peak, its a different story. You said nobody will buy a new system for mk8 because its a port. My arguement is that wiiu version of smm sold 1mil. Then 3ds sku sells a 1mil in under 3months (and is still doing so). 

Are they the same exact people who owned a wiiu that bought it on 3ds? Of course not. 

So your argument that MK8D will sell systems is to point to a game that launched in a week where hardware sales of it's platform fell 57%?

I don't think MK8D has to sell systems all by itself, though I'm sure if will sell the system to some (particularily those who didn't have a Wii U). 

There's still more people waiting to get the system than stock will allow for and I think that will continue possibly into June/July, but by then Nintendo will have Splatoon 2, and that will cause another boost. 

Ok i just said 3ds is saturated. Its not the same as mk8 releasing on something nobody has yet. My point was that a 2year old port is what people wanted on a specific hardware. Same case as mk8 (for switch) plenty of new people will buy. This is what you were arguing with every1 before.

Your going to find out the hard way either way when mk8d sells alot. MC threads will be fun

Shows just what kind of state the mainstream industry is in. Of course I can only speak for myself, but playing most AAA industry games these days feels like a chore, especially from western devs. I don't get that same feeling with a lot of Nintendo, indie and retro titles. This is a big part of why I feel the Switch is really going to take off. I honestly think we could be due for another early 80's Atari style industry crash, or at least a massive lull.

Of Course that this game is a remaster and not new game, but for people who didnt had Wii U that doesnt matter at all, for them this is a brand new game, and yes this game in combination with Zelda will sell more hardware, beacuse you had some people who didnt want to buy Switch just for Zelda but now they will have two must have games, one great single player game and one great multiplayer game, Switch with MK8D will become much more attractive. There are and there will be much more than "few people who didn't get it on Wii U", Switch is much more appealing for market than ever Wii U was and handheld lowers are buying it also. You will see in two weeks what effect will have MK8D in Japan for instance.

Mario Kart 8 is DEFINITLY going to move systems. Keep in mind, there is only a small group of people who ever owned a Wii U. For all intents and purposes, Mario Kart 8 is a brand new game for the vast majority of Switch owners and potential owners. Not to mention, there are new features, in addition to the included ability to play the game portable anywhere. Would the game have had more an impact on sales if it was brand new? Probably. Will it still sell Switches? Absolutely.

I played Mario Kart 8 to death on the Wii U, and I'm still rebuying on Switch, mainly because of the improved battle mode and handheld ability.

Even those who didn't buy it before know it's an old game though. It doesn't have the kind of excitement that accompanies a major new release.

Again, that really doesn't matter, because they didn't played that game, for them thats brand new game.

When I bouth TLoU Remaster, for me it was brand new game.
