For late ports of indie games that were first available on other console platforms? Nintendo promotes indies all the time too, but I've never seen any of the big 3 bend over backwards for late console ports.

New N Tastey had three videos on Nintendo's Youtube btw, so what he's expecting in terms of promotion clearly superceeds just that.

So, you actually think that all these 3rd party developers who don't make games for Ninty systems are at wrong and not the fans who defend Ninty and disregard reports of the developers. I find it highly unlikely that so many of them are wrong and fans are wiser than all of them.

There may be many reasons for that. But the ones Lanning gave were at least ... not really thought through. He got as much advertisement for Oddworld as he got from other platform-holders: Youtube, social media, direct emails (which I got), promotion in the e-shop at the time of release. So I really don't know what he is talking about. The game didn't flew under my radar, I remember looking at it back in the time, but didn't get it because it is not my cup of tea. Lanning is just wrong about what he says. So, may there be other reasons why 3rd-parties abstain from Nintendo? Yes, and I mentioned some in the past - or recently. But neither spemanig nor any other denied that really. But Lannign is just wrong. Spemanig just pointed that out and you just assume he meant something completely different.
