I'm torn on whether to go for enhanced WiiU ports on Switch, especially for WiiU games I already played to various amounts.

I'm frustrated by review/previews because they haven't made it clear how serious previous owners should take these games.

Mario Kart 8 - still play it a lot on WiiU, and because of that - I'll pick it up at some point. Hopefully for less than $40 though. But maybe I owe Nintendo something because they gave me Pikmin 3 for free when I first bought MK8 on WiiU. I fear MK8 WiiU online quickly goes extinct with the Switch version.

FAST RMX - I liked Fast Racing Neo. I liked it enough to pay another $5 for DLC. Not sure if for $20 there's enough improvements over FRN+DLC to go for RMX. But maybe I'm wrong? I'm just not sure

Shovel Knight - I own a physical copy on WiiU, but.... I haven't bothered to play much more than an hour or two of the game. Thought about selling it to upgrade versions. But I guess I could just ... beat the game on WiiU.

Lego City - I resisted buying this on WiiU when it finally came to selects. But it's weird to wait for months, years for a $60 to become a $20 - only to buy it close to $60 even as an enhanced version....

Shovel Knight is much more than an upgrade.  Shovel Knight:  Treasure Trove consists of 4 different campaigns (Shovel Knight, Shovel of Hope, Plague of Shadows, and Specter of Torment.  So, for me, it's more than worth it.

Lego City is adding co-op to the Switch version.  The Wii U version is good enough for me in that regard.
