Because Mario is by far the strongest Nintendo IP and it can keep people playing for months if wanted lol. Nintendo doesn't want to milk every single exclusive they made for Wii U, SM3DW did fine, there's no need to port it... |
Yes, Mario is a great name and that's why it's a great contender to being ported.
You don't just port any game. You'll port games that you know that can make more money or that didn't sell what it could have sold because the console didn't perform well.
Mario 3D World would have sold millions more if the console had sold more.
How many games have that potential, potential to justify paying for a port and leave other games un-ported?

So people won't buy a Wii U for these games (and others that are likely NOT to get a port like Bayo/Bayo 2).... But they'll get an NX for the same games.... Makes total sense. |
Have you seen the sales of The Last of US remaster?
Who bought the game? PS3 owners? No. Xbox owners who changed their console of choice.
And that's exactly one of the reasons you port games: it's not to have people rebuy the game; it's for people who didn't want to buy the game because they didn't want to spend that much money to have another console for a few games, even if they actually liked.
It's like giving the game a second chance hoping that you'll get a new audience in the process.

Tabata confirmed that NLG started working on MP:FF in 2009, he said it in the latest direct...

it doesn't change the fact that Mario games don't get ported to mantain the feeling of exclusivity for the consoles, otherwise you can be we would have seen Galaxy HD instead of TPHD this year...

Yes he mentioned they were working on it ages ago (2009 for the old DS, which is probably before even Luigi's Mansion 2 was in development) but they stopped development and reconvened only fairly recently.

People go on about how Wii only sold because of a gimmick but it had a pretty stellar lineup in its first year. |
Not just its first year either; in 2010 alone it got Mario Galaxy 2, Donkey Kong Country Returns, Monster Hunter Tri, Goldeneye 007, Tatsunoko vs Capcom, Sin & Punishment 2, Kirby's Epic Yarn, Red Steel 2, No More Heroes 2, Sonic Colours, Black Ops, Epic Mickey, Sonic All Stars Racing...
Wii U never had a year that good.
So it's like the PS4 was then?

It's fairly in line with previous Nintendo systems.
Super NES: Super Mario World, F-Zero, Final Fight, Pilotwings, Sim City, Play Action Football, Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Final Fantasy II, Actraiser, Street Fighter II, Super Tennis, Super Ghouls N' Ghosts, Super Castlevania IV, Contra III, Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time.
N64: Super Mario 64, Wave Race 64, Killer Instinct Gold, Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire, GoldenEye, Mario Kart 64, Star Fox 64, Tetrisphere, Blast Corps, Turok: Dinosaur Hunter, Cruis'n' USA
GameCube: Luigi's Mansion, Wave Race: Blue Storm, Super Smash Bros. Melee, Pikmin, NBA Courtside 2002, RE Remake, Star Wars: Rogue Squadron II, Super Monkey Ball, Eternal Darkness, Animal Crossing, Super Mario Sunshine, Metroid Prime, Star Fox Adventures.
I think arguably the N64 and GCN actually have the better first years, but Wii Sports was a casual phenomenon for its day. Guitar Hero was huge early on for the Wii too (that whole trend fizzled out as well).
SNES relied a lot more on third party games. Wii U is where you see a drop off, as Nintendo was predictably not prepared to deal with HD development even though they had several years to get their act together.

Fact is that Wii U lineup would be even more barren without Zelda remastered, and of course you can't compare WW HD and TP HD in any case with Zelda U, because Zelda U is brand new game while WW HD and TP HD are HD remasters of old games. Like I wrote, ports/remasters are great like filler in release schedule between completely new games. So dont expect all those Wii U ports at launch, only game that is almost certain for launch is Zelda U, but when Zelda U will arrive it will basically be completely new game not port of old Wii U game like other possible ports. |
Speculation on your part. Could be a year old, and the better part about older remasters/ports is that the graphivs are vastly improved.

Wii had great output, but let's be realistic, Wii is basically overclocked GC, only thing they needed to adjust is new control scheme, after GC they basically just continue to make games on Wii on same way just with new controls.

That's not the only reason; Wii also had more third party support than Wii U.
Goldeneye, Monster Hunter, Tatsunoko, Red Steel 2, No More Heroes, Sonic Colours/Racing, Black Ops, Mickey, all third party games.
