I think it's hilarious that Nintendo has done the same thing yet third parties are considered crap for doing it. 

Kinda like how Nintendo had entire months where ports were the only new releases but then people get mad at third parties for only porting old games.

I get Nintendo is Nintendo and they support their console well for the most part (because they have to ... their obligated) but c'mon ... it's so ironic  

I'm pretty sure that would be on Platinum (developer) rather than Nintendo (publisher) in that instance but I could be wrong, maybe that was Nintendo's choice. The only Nintendo developed combo I can think of is NSMB Deluxe (NSMBU+Luigi U) and both games are available on the cartridge.

The difference is that Nintendo releases significantly more brand new releases than they do ports. If I'm not mistaken, in 2 years Capcom has released a single new title on Switch (Mega Man 11) along with over a dozen late ports, remasters, compilations. They went from one of Nintendo's biggest 3rd party supporters on 3DS to doing basically the bare minimum on Switch.

None of that is ironic.

I wrote a long ass comment on this already and edited it out, so I'm not going to comment on it any further. I've talked about this pretty extensively already that people need to chill out with the vitriol all the time and I don't feel like arguing it again. All I'll say is that I don't see how Nintendo releasing more new games conflicts with what I said, of course Nintendo is going to support their own platform better than any other third party company .... including the ones people don't give shit too.
