Smash 4 is on Wii U and 3DS. It is literally on both a home console and a handheld already. Asking for it a third time is just stupid. If there were so many good Wii U titles worth porting, the why the fuck wouldn't people just buy a Wii U? Ughhhhh.

Because the Wii U is a terrible piece of hardware that is overpriced and irrelevant. Great games, but nobody is going to fork over $300 on a system that is dead, especially when they can get the other one.

Regardless, I do not want two Smash titles on one console just as I do not want two Mario Kart titles on one console. One title is enough to last four or five years - a generation. Smash 4 is finished at this point. I do not want one out tomorrow, I already have one to play right now. Get me a new one with that Smash quality. I can wait and so can you.

I can wait, yeah. But can the Smash Bros. fanbase. When they want something, they're not going to let it go easily. Just look at the GameCube controller. Even people who have a Wii U want it on Switch so they can leave their Wii U behind, and people who have it on 3DS want the Wii U version on Switch so they can have the superior, definitive version on a handheld.

 

1) Wii U has enough games that justify the hardware. You cannot have it both ways. You cannot say it was horrible but has great games. A console is defined by its games. Also, 3DS is not a horrible piece of hardware so you can still buy the game there. And you are done.

2) Everyone can wait. Smash is only 3 years old. You literally are asking for a port of a game that is on 2 consoles already in less than a generation cycle. It causes fatigue for the next Smash title. I have a Wii U and a 3DS and a Switch and I am saying I do not want it. So, not everyone agrees. But I do not think anyone would argue with a brand new Smash title over a Smash 4 remake. You guys are getting complacent and your expectations need to be raised. It is depressing watching a community that says too many ports are bad literally have a list of nothing but ports for Switch. I want new games. If I wanted Wii U or 3DS games, I would buy them on Wii U or 3DS.

 

Note: not all ports are bad. I am not saying there should never be any ports at all. I am saying can the community do a better job of handling their, "immediate gratification" emotions and demand a new game once in a while?
