How much manpower/resources did games like MK8D or NSMBUD take away? Like I said, both of the teams also released brand new games a few months later so best case scenario we are looking at ARMS & Mario Maker releasing slightly sooner if those ports weren't released.

What is better, Mario Kart Deluxe in April followed by ARMS in June or just ARMS in April? How about Super Mario Deluxe in January followed by Mario Maker 2 in June or just Mario Maker 2 in March?

You also said people are too dumb to know they are getting ripped off but I'll give you my reason for rebuying those 2 games. I bought a Wii U in Spring of 2014, NSMB was bundled and I also picked up MK8 along with it.

4 years later i no longer own a Wii U but my 2 oldest kids are now 4 & 6 and are really getting interested in gaming and always want to play with me so I picked up MK8D & NSMB because those 2 games are a perfect introduction to gaming for young kids and we can all 3 play together at the same time.

Would you say that I was ripped off by having to pay full price to for 2 games that have given me dozens of hours of fun with my kids and let us bond over a common interest?

The combined expenditure of all the mountains of Wii U ports though could've expedited development of new titles.

I didn't single you out, I was referring to the fact that, as human beings, most consumers are idiots (as most people in general are idiots) and likely don't even realize they're being ripped off. The company exploits their ignorance.

The combined expenditure of the 4 (4 ports in 2 years is a mountain?) internally developed Wii U ports would lead to one small-medium game at best. But even so, that's not how it works because each of these late ports were developed by a different team so you have to look at it from a team to team basis. All of the teams (except Retro) who have released a Wii U port on Switch have also released a brand new title as well. Best case scenario each new game may have released slightly earlier or had slightly more content.

I know you didnt single me out, I'm explaining to you that there are legitimate reasons why someone would be more than willing to pay full price for a late port. Wanting to replay a game you really like but no longer own or wanting to try a game from a system you never owned are completely valid reasons for buying late ports and they dont make you an idiot or ignorant or ripped off.
