You could say that about Mario Kart 8, but Pokken Tournament's releasing into a pretty packed schedule. If anything, it's getting lost in the shuffle as Nintendo's concentrating its marketing efforts on Mario Odyssey and, to a lesser degree, Fire Emblem Warriors. I kinda expect to find a couple more Wii U games sneaking onto the release calendar next year. We're moving past the stage where Nintendo would have to worry about the Switch gaining a reputation as just a new home for Wii U games since they're showing that they have plenty of new stuff to put onto the system. And Tropical Freeze is as good as any potential port. |
In my opinion Pokken Tournament was a really odd choice to port. I agree with you that in it's release schedule it's unnecessary, but the goal was still to inflate the Switch's library. Maybe Nintendo assumed putting it on a portable in Japan would carry momentum? Very odd choice.
Xenoblade X and DKCTF are way better. Personally those are the two ports I would want the most in a physical retail release, but that doesn't change the fact that , as unlikely as it may be, I don't want Nintendo to use old games to sell a system.
