Forums - Gaming - What Wii U exclusives should be ported for the Switch? And for How much?

So, we know Wii U failed and a few great games are set to be buried with it. Now, porting sometimes can feel unfair for those 13M who bought the thing, but let's face reality:

 

- Not porting doesn't help anyone. While porting can potentially benefit and be positive for the said game or IP. Which may afford another iteration in the future
- Switch launch line up is weak. Ports are not the dream solution for that, but can't really harm at this point.
- Many players skipped games they wanted because they thought Wii U wasn't worth it.


Now that i defended my point, here is my list:
- Smash Bros 4 Definitive Edition (I bet it is happening already) - $60 is acceptable if includes ALL DLC Characters + Stages
- Xenoblade Chronicles X (Don't think it will happen now that X2 was announced) - Since it is a 1-year old game and very niche, if it happens in 2017, it will be $60
- Bayonetta 1 & 2 (Not very likely, but the game metascored nicely and she made into smash, so who knows) - $40 (The Wii U version is $30 right on amazon, but Nintendo being Nintendo, i wouldn't expect them to bother porting for that price)
- Wonderfull 101 (Really want this to happen, although i know it won't) - $40

 

I don't think SM3DW, Splatoon and Pikmin 3 can happen now that their sequels are so close, even if SM3DW plays very differently then Odyssey.
Zelda:WW / TP were amazing, but with Breath of the Wild as a release date, i also just don't see it happening. Already have a Musou in development, so

definitely no HW.

Star Fox won't happen because it sucked, and i will keep pretending MP10 and Ultra Smash never happened.



Around the Network

All of them. Right now, there is no real reason not to port all major 1st party titles and some 3rd parties like Bayonetta and W101.

What they must do is distribute the games, not bring them all at once. Use them wisely to fill gaps on the schedule. Games like W101, SMTxFE, Bayonetta 1/2 and Xenoblade X will do nicely on a bigger userbase, specially after the praise they got during the WiiU era.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Come join The 2018 Obscure Game Monthly Review Thread.

these deserve it (a chance to sell more on a switch):



They could just release them digitally for the Switch eShop for like 20 bucks each.

TMS#FE £29.99.

Absolutely this, I actually really want to buy this game but I have a policy against cleaning the dust off my WiiU.

Then again I may enact that same policy with the Switch if I end up hating that as well...

But other then TMS#FE...

Mario Maker & Bayonetta 2.



Around the Network

A Donkey Kong Country collection game (Donkey Kong Country Returns and DKC: TF) in 1080p, 60fps and reduced loading times (plus get rid of the waggle controls for the Wii version). Price: $50.

Smash Bros 4

That's it. Everything else should be new games :p

Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar

Bayoneta and Wonderful 101



They should bring over XCX, Donkey Kong, hell if they add English VA I'd love to play FE.
