Why updated ports make sense for Nintendo fans

The point is outside of Splatoon you were never going to see sequels to these games in 2017 & the suffering of Wii U owners is exactly why thes ports need to exist. No one is here for another flop Nintendo console, launching with EVERY SINGLE one of their biggest IPs arriving in year one is the best way to ensure a healthy future for the platform.

 

But its not. Its every single of their biggest IPs from several years ago arriving year one. It would be like if Sony launched with TLOU R, Nathan Drake Collection, God of War Remastered, Ratchet and Clank, Beyond: 2 Souls, Fat Princess, and nearly every other PS3 game at the launch of PS4. Do you think Sony fans would have been happy? They would be saying exactly the same thing Wii U owners are saying. We played those. Where's the new stuff? How about some BC instead of trying to bend us over for stuff we already have?

But it is. It'd be like if sony launched the PS4 with God of War 4, Infamous Second Son, cross gen Uncharted 4 and bunch of huge remasters like TLOU, GT6 etc. 

Objectively speaking, launching with a Mario Kart enhanced port in year one is better then having no Mario Kart at all. You can argue that you want to see more new games, thats fine, but lets not act as if this won't hugely benefit Nintendo. BC with Wii U is impossible considering what the Switch is so put that to rest.
