AAA third party publishers who have treated Nintendo console owners like crap for generations continue to treat Nintendo console owners like crap. Nothing new and it's never going to become acceptable. Bayonetta 1 was already a limited disc release on Wii U, so the game has been treated like second class regardless of the storage medium. It's not Nintendo's game, so they don't treat it like one. It's still a gain for gamers though, because Sega wasn't going to port it, neither for Wii U or Switch. |
I know that AAA publishers tend to give Nintendo consoles the shaft, but I'm not even talking about all of the games that aren't released on them, I'm talking about the ones that even do come to the console. Yes, the publishers can also eat the costs, but the thing is that they have other avenues that they can go to, while Nintendo needs to ensure that their console is a success. Now, I guess they decided though that the potential losses from offering a flat rate wouldn't be worth the avoidance of compression/chopping up the game between the cart and downloads. However, I am not a Nintendo shareholder so for me what I get is more important than how big their profits are. Though I guess in that case I can criticize the publishers too as that'd be following the same logic
