Well...Zodiac Age isn't on half a dozen platform... Nor is Crystal Chronicles. The games you're referring to are FFVII and FFIX. I think the goal of the argument here is shifting. It all started with me saying Wii U didn't get any Final Fantasy games that mattered to Nintendo fans. And Switch is. Nintendo fans have already played FF1-6 on Nintendo platforms before. So these games being on Nintendo platforms for the first time...does matter to people. This entire thing is more of a "innocent until proven guilty" type of thing. Saying it doesn't matter, and yet these games are announced with a ton of fanfare...by default it has to factually matter. Not mattering would be if absolutely nobody cared. In the case of games like FFVII, and IX these games were never on Wii U or any Nintendo platform before the Direct. That impact...kinda...matters doesn't it? Let's spin this a different way. Would having Bayonetta 2 and 3 on PlayStation matter? Yeah, because there are people who won't buy a Nintendo console just to play Bayonetta 2 or 3. But then let's take it even further, Stardew Valley was available for a ton of platforms before it was on Switch. Yet it has sold over 1 million units by now on Switch. It objectively matters to 1+ million people. I'm just trying to be objective here. It's fair to feel it doesn't matter subjectively, nobody can take that away from you. and I'm not trying to do that. All I can do here is try to help you see that objectively it does matter to quite a number of people, even if it isn't you. |
Well yeah, I think the argument is the same for all of them. I don't think late ports of remasters is meaningful in any way. It's certainly an upgrade from the nothing that was on Wii U (sans Dragon Quest X of course), but it seemed like an overreaction.
