Nintendo Did Not Learn Anything from the Wii U's Failure.

I understand the "gotcha" or cultural factor but are you really arguing that mobile phone and pc ports of games that are two decades old are meaningful? I don't see it.

Maybe I just need to readjust my perception, because I would think that the only meaningful FF game that could be announced for Switch at this point would be a FF7 remake or FF16 proper. I don't place a high value on the FF10/12 remasters and maybe I should?

Well, you don't have to see it. I can't convince anyone to see anything that they can't. I just know that myself included, among others, we feel it is meaningful. Especially games that were just released on PS4 a year or 2 ago. This opens the door for more content from Square Enix on the FF side, and like I said. Stay tuned for what's in store for the future. It's...bright.

Bottom line is, it may not matter to you but it matters to a lot of other people. The Nintendo Switch Reddit in particular is lighting up over this news. Not everyone owns a PS4 and Switch, for a lot of people Switch is their only platform. Xbox as well, because it's getting these games for the first time as well. If it didn't matter in the grand scheme of things, I don't think Square Enix would have put forth the effort to even release these games.

That's fair in terms of impact. But what I was saying is more than about just PS4. These games are available on every modern phone, computer, tablet, in addition to a half dozen console platforms. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
