This is the first time Nintendo screwed owners of a system so hard. Nintendo should have done the right thing and keep Wii U games on Wii U.

How is this screwing over Wii U owners? Are the remasters that come out on Switch removing the games from the Wii U?

I have both a Wii U and a Switch, and I'm glad the games are being ported to the Switch. One thing I loved most about the Wii U (and before with the Wii) was it's backward compatibility. Now with the Switch, it's physically impossible to use those big discs on the go, hence why they had to scrap backwards compatibility. Porting over all it's games is a way to ensure both consoles get the games, just like it was with backwards compatibility. The big difference here is that Switch owners don't get to play them for free if they had the Wii U version but have to buy them anew at full price most of the time, which could be argued is screwing Switch owners for their money for a late port - but still not scewing the Wii U.

When the Switch ports have more content than the Wii U games, and you have to buy the game AGAIN to get that content, it is screwing Wii U owners.

Also the Wii U will have no value and no legacy as a result of these ports.
