yup real bashing, thats why they've been in the top 10 selling games worldwide since they both debutted, people must be so displeased. And if someone is willing to pay to play a port just for the portablity on Switch (which is very likely) who are you to tell them they are wrong for wanting that? I kinda agree on your point about niche games getting remastered but screw it, they do it on the other 2 all the time and they dont get near the complaints that the Switch is getting. 

Not enough of an incentive for a Wii U owner to immediately hop on board; their previously aimed demographic. The sales are to do with the fact there are no other games on the system + they are very good games, both top 3 on Metacritic on best rated games of 2017. "Top 10 selling games worldwide"...what?

I'm speaking from a business perspective, not what people personally desire. Portability is not a singular justifiable reason to port games from Nintendo's perspective.

Because the "other two" have enough games, to the point where ports are overshadowed by new games. In addition, this is Nintendo we're pertaining. The "other two" are relating to third party developers rather than Microsoft and Sony, besides Naughty Dog with the Last Of Us Remastered for instance.

There wasnt that much WIi U owners in the first place which is one of the main reasons why Switch even exists. If there are no games on the system and people dont like ports then they wouldnt be buying the Switch in the first place as its doing much better than Wii U did and its not even holidays. The ports have been the in the top ten selling games worldwide on a weekly basis since they debuted, i think you know what i meant, but just in case, theres more clarification. So from a business perspective you're still wrong cause they are selling fantastic so clearly people want them whether its for the portablitly or not. Hell the Swtich version of BotW is doing better than WIi u despite the latter having more owners.

Fair enough on the other two but you dont think the Switch will have enough new games that will overshadow the remasters?
