But doing so would have screwed over the rest of the potential gaming population in getting to play great games they wouldn't have had the chance to do so. Nintendo doesn't make any more Wii U devices so people that wanted to play Bayonetta 2 but could not find a Wii U are getting screwed at that point. Or if some Switch owner has a kid that fell in love with DCKR 3D via the 3DS port just last year and wanted to play the sequel shouldn't they have the opportunity to play?

As a console/software owner we all have to know you are paying for the enjoyment at that moment, no game is locked onto one console. Even the Wii remake of Goldeneye 007 landed on other consoles. Besides it is better for the games and their developers especially given the Wii U's performance that the hard work they done be recognized somewhere rather then just by a few who took what turns out to be a losing gamble. This world would be a lot worst off if the original SNK never let their Neo Geo software be ported to anything besides their own expensive and niche devices and arcade machines.

People who skipped the Wii U should have waited a long time to play Wii U games. Nintendo should have locked most Wii U games because the people who bought the Wii U bought it for exclusives, the same kind of exclusives all other Nintendo consoles had: those that are exclusives for a very long time. The problem isn't that Nintendo are porting Wii U games, it's that Nintendo are shitting on Wii U owners which they never did before with any of their failures, because all other of their consoles including Virtual Boy, 64DD and Gamecube had most of their games locked to these consoles for a very long time. If most people don't have access to these games, it's because people spent money for exclusivity and porting those games is stealing people what they bought.

So, in your opinion, Nintendo is shitting on Wii U owners by bringing their Wii U exclusives to the Switch?

 

How does porting = stealing? I really don't get your logic here. The Wii U owners still have those games to enjoy on the Wii U. The fact that they're being ported doesn't nullify that.
