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.

And like I have said already, those extra man hours would have led to a minimal difference.

I'll ask again and please actually answer this time. What would have been better for the Spring 2017 lineup, MK8D in April+ARMS in June or just ARMS in May? What would have been better for the H1 2019 lineup, NSMBU in Jan+Mario Maker in June or just Mario Maker in April?

And regardless of whether you feel like others are ripped off or not doesnt matter because individuals decide for themselves what is a fair price or a ripoff for a game. 15 million people and growing are not idiots for paying $60 for MK8D, in this case you are the idiot for thinking an incredibly high quality game isnt worth $60 because of the arbitrary reason that it previously released on a different console 3 years earlier.
