Ports from wii u aren't enough to make me buy a Switch as I'm a wii u owner but if I ever do get a Switch I would probably quickly add it to my library depending on price. I guess like Zelda BOTW you can play the wii u version emulated at 4k which technically is massively superior to this Switch port. In fact with Mario Kart already being 60fps you probably need a less powerful PC than running Zelda at 4k 60fps.

But can you play Zelda BotW or MK8 on PC in full handheld mode!? :)

Yes I wonder how long that will take, its more about cpu performance than gpu with PC. I guess some of the premium windows tablets might manage it. It doesn't look like the system requirements are that high but still too much for windows tablets mostly. There are a few videos on youtube but not sure if they are doing remote desktop to play the game or its running on the tablet itself.

That's nice. I'm so torn about getting this game. I really like it, but full price for a port? Ugh...

the Wii U version still sells for $50 everywhere online (or in stores that might still carry it) and this version has the DLC and the Battle Mode added. Its more like a remaster IMO. 

and I don't hear people bitching about a Dark Souls remaster being sold at full price, or a Skyrim remaster being sold at the same price, so how is this any different? if it were a 10 year old game maybe, but its a couple years old and a deluxe version (as the name suggests).
