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.

Every man-hour spent on an ancient port is still a man-hour that could've made a new game out sooner and better.

And regardless of whether you feel ripped off or not, if you paid $60 for a game that came out from 4-6 years ago, you were ripped off. There is a good reason why almost all games get cheaper after being out for a while. Nintendo are just extremely greedy and anti-consumer in this respect. Most other companies would price such games at $40, and rightly so.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
