Will Nintendo be chastised if NX remasters / ports become a thing?

[Darwinianevolution]

It depends. If Nintendo fails to expand its audience, and those who support the NX are the exact same people who bought WiiUs, then yes, we'll see outcry. They didn't bought a new console to play old games. But if Nintendo manages to expand the userbase big time, those who complain would be on the minority, just because of all the people who didn't own a WiiU would be willing to try those remasters. They would be new games for them.
