Doom and Wolfenstein are indeed old ports and that does indeed count against them; it’s the reason they're not worthy of being listed as top tier 2017/218 Switch games.

But they hold a twofold advantage over the recent plague of Wii U regurgitations:

a) At least they’re far less old. 

b) At least they’re current gen games that are being brought into the Nintendo ecosystem for the first time, instead of just Nintendo plundering their own back catalogue for a cheap buck

Recycling Wii U games would not be such a big deal they were reasonably priced and if Nintendo were also providing an adequate supply of fresh content, but neither is the case. They’re just saying “want something to play on your new $300 console? What? You want actual NEW games? LMAO, here’s a game from 4 years ago and the 19,654th Mario Tennis/Party”

So yeah, full price for an 8-month old PS4 port is better than $60 for a 4 year old Wii U game that was $50 even in 2014. 

On the other hand, those games are downgraded yet cost like 3x as much as the other versions. With the exception of DK, all the Wii U ports cost the same as the Wii U versions currently do and all of them have added content.

It also does not matter that these games were previously in the Nintendo ecosystem if the people buying these games did not own a Wii U. Games like Skyrim, Doom & Diablo are new games for people who dont own a PS/XB/PC just like Pokken Tournament, Tropical Freeze & Captain Toad are new games for people who dont own a Wii U.

You keep bringing up how many Mario Party/Tennis games there are but the type of games you want (Zelda/Smash) have just as many releases.

Doesn't matter if you owned a Wii U or not, games from 2014 are not new. 

Games like Zelda BOTW and Mario Odyssey absolutely do not have as many releases this year as the mediocre filler like Party/Tennis. Smash is literally the only game releasing on Switch this entire year that can reasonably be called one of Nintendo's top shelf productions.
