Alright, I gathered a list of ALL Nintendo published game released in 2018. Here it is:

- Bayonetta 1/2 (Direct port, no meaningful new content, charged full price)

-Hyrule warriors (Direct port, 0 effort put into it, 0 new meaningful content, charged full price)

-Captain Toad (Direct port, Slight amount of new content put in, Barely any effort put in, Charged same price as the original wiiU release on top of releasing paid DLC instead of it being added to the port in order to add a bit of value, but nope again, Nintendo doesn't give a shit about consumers (New Nintendo I should say) )

- Nintendo labo (First original release, Hurray!)

- Mario tennis Ace ( AA release, Mario sports game)

- Sushi striker (Never heard of this game, apparently was published by Nintendo)

- Fitness boxing (Lol)

- Mario party (AA release again)

- Super smash ( First brand new AAA release)

- Pokémon (Remake, with actual effort put in. Although not developed by Nintendo)

- Go vacation (Lol)

 

Alright, so let's compile the data...  For 2018, Nintendo released 3 full priced wiiU ports will little to no effort put into them and 1 remake, 1 AAA game, 2 AA games which are consisted of 1 party game and one Mario sports game, and a slew of shovelware including fitness boxing, go vacation and Labo.

Any self-respecting Nintendo consumer would be pissed. You're getting burned and spit in your face for supporting them when they needed your support the most. Sure, 2019 is shaping up for being a much better year. But once again, releasing paid dlc for captain toad and releasing NSMBUD with NO extra levels, NONE! They just don't give 2 flying damns about you or any Nintendo consumer. 

Just think about how long it would have taken them to even only design an extra 10 or so levels for NSMBUD and then you will realise just how fu**** lazy they were with these ports. And now, they're even being lazy with the dlc. 

You should look up the sells numbers of those ports and realize, considering people keep buying those Wii U ports. Nintendo is just giving into supply and demand.

I am quite aware of all those sales numbers. And I even mentioned in my original post that they are a smart decision from a strictly business point of vue.

I could also say that microtransactions and day 1 dlc and staggered launches ala EA Anthem are all smart business decisions.

However, that doesn't make them any less anti-consumer.

Again, it's the thought of how lazy and greedy Nintendo were with every single wiiU ports that pisses me off. How much longer of a development time would it have took to add 3-4 new races to Mario kart 8 deluxe. How much more development time would it have took to add 1 extra world to Donkey kong tropical freeze. How much longer would it have took to develop 1-2 extra worlds in NSMBUD when we LITERALLY saw with Mario maker how easy it is to design stages when you already have all the assets available. The list could go on and on with every single ports. 

Anyways, I think I have proven my point in my original post. I won't be derailing this thread further.
