All but NSMB U + LU. we need a new Mario 2D in 2019. no ports.

I'm fine with ports myself but its funny people want more ports of older games on the Switch while PS4 was criticised for doing the same xD

I have a PS4 and a Switch. Just having a little joke. I don't mind Wii U ports as obviously not everyone has played them. As long as it's balanced out with new content too, which im sure plenty will be announced soon.

Since I was one of the people who made those criticisms of the PS4, let me highlight the differences. The PS4...

A. Didn’t have loads of quality exclusive experiences in its first year to justify a year one purchase. I bought a PS4 on launch day, and a year later I was playing both an Xbox One I got as a Christmas gift and my Wii U far more than it. The only quality exclusive that system had year one was Infamous Second Son. The Switch, meanwhile, had: Splatoon 2, Mario + Rabbids, Super Mario Odyssey, Xenoblade 2, and Kirby Star Allies will be missing the year one deadline by mere WEEKS. 

B. Isn’t portable, meaning that PS3 ports to it inherently have less value. If you value portable experiences like I do, then the Switch is great because it has LOADS of exclusive portable experiences. Zelda Breath of the Wild, Mario Kart 8 DX, Sonic Mania, Doom, and Skyrim are all GREAT portable experiences and practically transform how I play them versus regular console versions. And the same is still true for these upcoming console ports.

Ports of games like Last of Us on PS4 didn’t do much for me, despite their quality, because I had already played many of these games in the exact same fashion just a few years prior, and being able to play these games in the same way with slightly up-ressed graphics didn’t really mean much to me. So far as I’m concerned, that’s what backwards compatibility was for.

It goes both ways.

PS4 was criticized for having alot of ports but it also had alot of people who didnt mind and would defend it.

Switch is also criticized for having alot of ports with alot of people who don't mind and defend it.

Both situations are literally the same.

I'm not opposed to Switch ports..because even though it's a lazy job, the games get a lot more value automatically by just being portable..

It's not the same as porting to PS4 for example, in that case the games are essentially the same value..

It's like playing Super Mario Bros. 3 on GBA. At first you look at it, and think it's nothing. But playing it wherever you want..instantly it's basically a whole new game. You do other things, and you can play it. On the toilet, whatever else you wanna do..I felt that way on the GBA when the ports started showing up..

Maybe not great news for Switch owners, BUT if you didn't own or play the Wii U I guess these ports should sufface. I trust her when it comes to rumors

You can argue the opposite as well. PS4 ports of PS3 games have more value to some due to the difference in graphics, resolution and framerate than portability. I know God of War 3 was amazing to play at 60fps and I look forward to playing Dark Souls at 60fps. People who liked TLOU would have a lot to gain from playing the game at 60fps especially because it has multiplayer. Portability doesn't matter to a lot of people and anyways both are very subjective arguments.

The thing about exclusives though is that PS4 never has relied on them to the extent of the Switch. PS4 got many good third party games in its first year that were not ports which is unlike the Switch which mostly got ports of games everyone had already played. That is what matters as not everyone has multiple platforms to play games and PS4 covered all bases.

I see more people defending the Switch and less criticising it than the PS4. TLOU R stirred up a huge controversy and also many third party remasters which Sony had no role in unlike Nintendo who has an active role in these first party remasters.

Maybe you dont visit Nintendo topics as much but there has been alot of criticism for Switch being a port machine.

I couldn't remember how people reacted about PS4'S first year, but the difference is that the Wii U only sold less than 14million, while the PS3 have sold over 80million. 

In my opinion it makes more sense for Nintendo to port Wii U games. And it also allows us to play those Wii U games and 3rd party games on the go like never before. Obviously Nintendo and third party devs sees this as a good opportunity to port games.
