While you're right, Sony and MS got a loooooot of shit for it (especially from some Nintendo fans). Things got so bad with TLOU:R that the mod team has to start auto-locking threads, because the same stuff was getting posted over and over :p

To be fair though, 99% of it came from a small group, and most have either been banned or cooled off. I don't think people should give Nintendo fans shit over it now in the name of some kind of petty revenge (though that's not what celador is doing).

Well worth pointing out that Sony and MS in 2014 were using ports as a sub in for major games even at major periods of the year.  Shoot Sony had no big gun for Holidays.  Their biggest drive was from Destiny.  I'm willing to be less cynical with Nintendo because they already have Xenoblade 2, Fire Emblem Warriors, ARMS, Splatoon 2, and Super Mario Odyssey slated for this year.  Two of those coming BEFORE Pokken.  Also, Pokken needed a port.  It suffered on Wii U for a lot of reasons.

Well said. The Ports on Switch are justified I think because nobody bought the WIi U or played the Wii U versions of these games. I mean, they sold rather well but Mario Kart dropping from 35 million to 8 million, there has to be a couple million more willing to come back. I'd understand the hate if Nintendo bolstered its 1st year lineup with ports only, but these ports are just the appetizers. Like you said we have Mario Odyssey, Xenoblade, Splatoon 2, Arms which is a brand new franchise in the first year. I think Nintnedo is really going all out here.
