| Zippy6 said: 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." |
"But, After that it been only repackaged WiiU games and the long wait for what comes next"
This is the quote in which I was referring my original comments to. I'm critiquing the perception of the quote above, not the negative perception of Wii U ports in general, which is why I said in my side note that them being viewed as a net positive is beside my overall point.
In other words, it isn't about the negative reception of Wii U ports; it's about the perception that Nintendo's publishing output for Switch is PRIMARILY composed of Wii U ports that I'm arguing against. Which has nothing to do with pricing or whether third parties exist or not. All of that is a completely separate argument.
Edit: And just to comment on the thought process, if that is indeed the thought process for many people then it's an availability heuristic based on feeling and not fact. A fallacy, in other words.
