Hmmm, On one hand I think they should leave MK8 alone. It's such a casual franchise, releasing MK8 might really sabotage the audience for MK9 but for the best chance for NX to succeed I guess it'll be make a huge difference early on

LAUNCH
Zelda/Smash Bros

May-july
Splatoon/MK8

I dont think that main launch titles will be old Wii U ports, it seems that main launch titles will be Zelda/new 3D Mario.

Nintendo is indeed good at cost management, but I meant more wasted in sales potential. The Wii U just lost too little. Imagine that those games were put on the 3DS instead, the profits would haven been higher.

Nintendo knows that a big part of the new, potential NS audience never played them, just like some of the PS4 remasters worked. So this makes a lot of sense. Even more so when you look at NS software support. It needs to be there in the first year.

I could see them port some WiiU games later if the Switch turns out to be a success, but Nintendo already announcing WiiU ports before the system has proven itself? That sounds more like they are trying to squeeze more money out of their loyal fans and that they dont have much new stuff until way later in the life of the console.

They did not announce anything, actually games were not at all focus of Switch trailer, they were used just to show Switch concept. New games and exclusives will be shown later, and of course they will have plenty of new staffs in 1st year. Wii U ports are not for Wii U owners, they are for all the people who missed Wii U and they will be used to fill schedule release holes.
