Bold 3: I don't understand how the perception that Nintendo is relying on Wii U ports and their library mostly consists of Wii U ports has ANYTHING to do with their pricing structure. Those are two different arguments. One is: "Is Nintendo porting too many games from the Wii U" and the other is "Are the games they are porting worth the price of admission". I will be the first to admit that despite purchasing several Wii U ports, I don't like their pricing structure. I definitely prefer Sony's, but I tolerate Nintendo's (sometimes). |
On the surface yeah it doesn't have anything to do with it. But it's relevant because it's what leads people to complain about them.
Thought Process: Wow they are charging too much for this old WiiU game on Switch -> WiiU Ports are bad -> Nintendo make too many WiiU Ports.
If the WiiU ports/remasters were cheaper there'd be less negativity surrounding them meaning less people would be complaining about them, even about things that have nothing to do with pricing. The dots don't need to line-up perfectly or at all, if you feel bad about something you'll be more critical about other completely unrelated aspects too.
This also applies similarly to your Bold 4, you asked why people kept criticising Nintendo for their ports/remasters more than other platforms, and that's because their customers have higher expectations and rely more on their first party output. Whether those expectations are fair or not doesn't really have any effect. It's one reason Nintendo is more criticised.
I'm not saying Nintendo isn't "allowed" to do something, I'm just pointing out the reasons why "People don't say this about the PS4, so idk why they continue saying this about the Switch."
