Forums - Nintendo - Xenoblade X port, Beyond Good&Evil for Switch leaks & more

mountaindewslave on 21 November 2016

don't panic people, no doubt there will be more releases from the big N in this time frame, these are just the major ones. Think about all the stuff they release on 3DS regularly, no doubt some of those teams have smaller projects that will be popping up too and either mainline released on the Switch or ported over to it

Ya its been discussed a thousand times on this site, Wii U's failure wasnt due to these games being unappealing, it had many other issues like poor marketing/advertising, high price for what it offered & inconsistent software output.

Wii U got maybe 2-3 major releases a year with a handful of minor support titles, not enought to gain or maintain momentum. The big titles were too far and few in between and too little, too late.

So now hardware sells software and not the other logical way? Everything to defend the unappealing Wii U library.

They didn't sell the console because the console itself was unappealing and overpriced in the first place.

Software sells hardware. Not the other way.

You do realize the GBA had ports of Donkey Kong Country 1-3, Super Mario Bros. 2, Super Mario Bros. 3, Yoshi's Island, Final Fantasy 4-6  and The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, right? It also had remakes like Metroid: Zero Mission and Pokémon: Firered and Leafgreen. And Mario Kart: Super Circuit featered all the SNES tracks.

That's no less than 10 ports and they're some of the best selling GBA titles. Oh no, Nintendo screwed over SNES owners!

Gba was considered a port machine.

Yes, and it sold 81 million units despite only having half the lifetime cycle of the original Gameboy (meaning it sold a lot better than it). It also had many good original titles like Metroid: Fusion (my favorite 2D Metroid title), Fire Emblem (the first entry to be released in the West), Golden Sun, Pokémon Ruby and Saphire, The Legend of Zelda: Minish Cap (my second favorite 2D Zelda game), Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Wario Land 4, Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, etc.

That's clearly not going to be the case. That's the whole point of the ports and consolidating their departments.

The ports wont do anything for many people who have played them on the WiiU. I dont see the reason for porting games if they have many more developers to make games for the Switch. Give us some new IPs or revive some older IPs instead.

Those new games are coming irregardless of the ports. Its like you're asking for Uncharted 4 in 2014 instead of The Last of Us Remastered. You were never going to get Smash Bros 5, MK9 and Splatoon 2 in 2017. Thats the whole point of the updated ports which will appeal to plenty Wii U owners because they feature a lot of new content. But furthermore this whole thread is dumb AF because people are are continuing to go as if if this is entire Switch Line up, when its not. Games like DQX & XI are not on list yet they've been confirmed by its publishers. Retro's title is not in her list for 2017/18 because she doesn't know what it is. Just as no one knew about Mario Sports All Stars, Pikmin 3DS, Monster Hunter XX or Yoshi/Mario Maker 3DS ports. 

THIS IS NOT THE SWITCHES FULL LINE UP -_-

Nope, hopeful thinking. It would make sense. The game is due early 2017, would easily run on the Switch and the Switch is portable (which SE of course love).

I dont need a new Smash, MK and Splatoon in 2017. I can wait. A new Zelda, 3D Mario, Pikmin, some smaller titles, new IPs and some great third party games would be great.

Well come January I'm sure you won't be dissapointed. Zelda/3D Mario/Pikmin are all listed by Laura, a new wacky IP was spoken about by Emily Rodgers and Project Robot is still sceduled for a 2017 release. I imagine they will be plenty of smaller titles & plenty of Japanese support.

So, once again. Why release Wii U ports for the Switch if those games are not going to gain a strong momentum?

Did you not read what I said or are you just not comprehending?

Like I already said more than once, these games were too spread out and too late, on top of that the system was overall unappealing due to things like poor marketing/advertising & high price.

If Wii U had solid marketing/advertising, a $250 price tag along with 3D Mario, Mario Kart, Smash Bros, Splatoon, Zelda, Pokemon and some smaller support titles in the first year, like Switch is rumored to have than it would sold over 10 million year 1.

Those games on Wii U were new. On Switch are ports. Those ports are not going to sell better or move hardware than the og versions.

It was still a port machine. Also, those were filler, not considered as big releases like the op wants to believe with the Wii u ports on Switch.
