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

It has all the DLC and Battle Mode included. If you have a Wii U copy just sell it for $20 and pick up the Switch version for $48 off amazon or best buy.

To be fair, Zelda BotW is brand new game, not port of some old game.

It's a new game yes, but a new port.  I can't imagine they made the game just in time for the release of the Switch.  They probably already finished it for the Wii U and held it's release so they can port it to the Switch to release for launch.  That's why I kept the Wii U version on the list.

Technically it's Wii U port, but practically it's brand new game that has dual release on two platforms, same like Zelda Twilight Princes, so main point is that is brand new game in any case and not port of some old game that is already released.

Well I thought I read that Persona 5 was technically a PS4 game and just making a PS3 version as well.  Just like how Black Ops 3 is this gen's game and not PS3/Xbox360.

I consider a lot of the cross generations games to count as previous generation unless you actually have features that are exclusive to this generation (see Shadows of Mordor). Think Shadow of Mordor might be the only strong example. 

I think in most cases these cross gen games, the devs main focus is almost always on the newest gen, but they don't try to go too crazy because they want to ensure that it's still doable for last gen.

I never played Shadow of Mordor but ill look into that.

Shadow of Mordor PS3/Xbox360 actually lacks the key gameplay feature if I recall exactly. However I think If you count Persona 5 as not a port of ps3 game or other cross generation titles not as ports, you shouldn't count switch zelda as a port. 

I think majority of cross generation titles are actually started off on the weaker console and than brought up. Persona 5 I think is basically FPS and Resolution increase between the two, which demonstrates to me it was designed as ps3 game in mind. 

However don't view this as insulting to Persona 5, infact I consider it more impressive, that is the best JRPG based on "outdated" tech, demonstrating to me at least that this generation honestly speaking might have not been as necessary as it has been. Only select few have I appreciated this generation technology. 



 

Ew, Mario Kart way too high. Also the only remaster I know of (there could be another one, but I can't really think of any) to ever score better than the original game, for some reason. And don't tell me fixing Battle Mode is automatically worth of five more points!

Persona 4 Golden by 3 points.

Gah, I knew I was missing some game that fullfilled the quota too.

It's only brand new because Nintendo held back on releasing the Wii U version sooner that's all.

Variety of things add to better score, fixes the issues that were wrong, new features, added content in base package, etc. 



 

Wii U has shovel knight, Mario Kart 8 and Zelda BOTW too + many other exclusives from past years. So for now Wii U > Switch.
