So what!? Nobody rally cares because Zelda BotW and MK8D are ported to Switch, actually huge majority of people are happy because of that, that was very expected and logical move from Nintendo. Do you realise that you are only person here on site that keep bragging because Nintendo is porting Wii U games on Switch, because of that you act like they killed your family, chill out man.

People who bought a Wii U and Nintendo fans should care. By porting Zelda to Switch they shat on the Wii U owners and destroyed their legacy as a company that always made excellent consoles (and don't mention the Virtual Boy, it was just an experiment).

 

Err... no.

Did Sony destroy their legacy with porting The Last of US to the PS4? Or Shadow of Colossus from the PS2 to the PS3 and now a remake on PS4? Or the various Kingdom Heart ports? Or did Sega when they ported some of their Master System titels to Genesis and really one could go on for every major publisher that has had more then one hardware device. The fact is porting to new hardware is a normal facet of software publishing.

In the end, time will tell if the strategy works, but so far they aren't doing too bad. Although personally, I do not believe Xenoblade Chronicles X needs to be ported, due to the nature of the game's story seemingly being incomplete anyway with no follow up planned or revealed as of yet.
