BoTW was released March 3 in Switch just the same as WiiU, BoTW IS a Switch game and not an old port no matter how you want to see it.

I agree with that. And I hope it applies to all games in the future. No matter what console they're on.

It has always been aplied to all consoles, there is a difference between a simple remaster of an old game and a game released simultaneously in 2 consoles, there has never been a debate about the later scenario.

Tehnicaly Zelda BotW is Wii U game, but doesn't really matter, Zelda BotW is brand new Switch game, not port of some old game, in every other case games that are considered for ports are ports of old games, games that are already launched.

Nintendo fans tripped over themselves to hate on PS4 games in the beginning of this gen for the sole reason that the games were cross gen.

Apparently, the games were, and I quote, "not new games" even though they released on PS4, PS3, XB1, and 360 simultaneously. We had several threads dedicated to the "issue". I hope you weren't one of those because your "Zelda BotW is a brand new Switch game" doesn't correlate with that at all.

Of course we also had all the threads hating on remasters but let's try to forget that as well

 

I agree with you though. A good game is a good game. Having more options is rarely a negative.

Can't wait to play Zelda BotW and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe when I buy a Switch.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe actually has a lot of new features and content though.

- 8 new battle maps (previously had none)

- 5 battle modes (previously had one)

- New characters (Inklings, Dry Bones, Bowser Jr., King Boo, Golden Mario)

- New items (feather, boo)

- New boost (pink sparks)

- Ability to hold two items at once

- 1080p (previously had 720p)

- Portability

- Framerate issue fixed

God of War III: Remastered on the other hand was extremely lazy...

I can taste the bitterness...and it always comes from the same 5 people...you know who you are.



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

Is nice that I can get both Zelda and MK8 for Wii U :p

Still on the fence if I should upgrade to Deluxe when I get the Switch though

I've pre-ordered it.  I know the feeling, we've bought it in the Wii U then this. :(

I'm on the fence for BOTW though. :(

Please.

We had a whole thread dedicated to hate on cross gen ports and remasters on PS4 and XB1. Only 8th gen only games could be labelled as "new games" while cross gen games were "ports". Even the ones that released on PS4, PS3, XB1, and 360 simultaneously and the ones where PS4 and XB1 were the lead platforms.

I thought it was stupid back then and I think it is stupid now. I agree with OP. A game like Zelda BotW is a new game even though it releases on a last gen console simultaneously.

 

I don't want to derail the thread any further. I just hope that we'll learn from this. Don't shit on something just because it isn't from your favorite company. It's dumb.

Zelda BotW and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe look great. By the logic of some, the Switch versions shouldn't exist and I don't agree with that.

Here's top 100 for all time too. Number of releases on metacritic in brackets.

PC - 16  (3557)
PS3 - 15  (1264)
360 - 14  (1666)
PS2 - 14  (1421)
XBOX - 6  (842)
PS1 - 6  (264)
Gamecube - 5  (511)
N64 - 4  (81)
Dreamcast - 4  (140)
Wii - 4  (874)
PS4 - 3  (852)
GBA - 3  (601)
XBO - 2  (522)
Switch - 2  (26)
WiiU - 1  (184)
3DS - 1  (356)

So Switch is already on par with XBO and has a chance to surpass already the ps4 in this year.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

Yes, though I expect MK8:D will drop out of the top 100 when the release date reviews come in. It's 93rd currently.

It says 94 for me.

It's Metascore is 94, it's ranked the 93rd highest rated game of all-time on Metacritic.
