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.

That's exactly the same thing Nintendo are using them for, no? They're "taking resources away from new games" (a common argument back in 2013 - 2015) to bolster a limited library. What "limited" means is slightly different (the Switch has few major releases in general but more big exclusive, while Sony and MS had more games in general), but the end goal is the same. I don't see why that variation would make the PS4 and X1 exclusively deserving of criticism.
