I guess by some people’s logic, Mario Odyssey shouldn’t have released on the Switch and, instead, release on Wii U as it was in development since 3D World releases in late 2013.

What? You act like Nintendo has never ported games from previous systems. Off the top of my head Mario 64, OoT, Majora's Mask, Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, Yoshi's Island, SMB 2, SMB 3, SMW, Link's Awakening were all ported/remastered at some point. In fact Wii U was beneficiary of some of these ports.
Nintendo hasn't screwed anyone, they are in business to make money just like any other corporation. Being salty because more people have access to Wii U games via the Switch is way over the top. |
Before the Wii U, Nintendo ported very few games, and the games they did port were ancient. It's nothing like the Wii U ports, where they ported a huge chunk of the Wii U library in just a year after they discontinued the system.

Somebody forgot about the GBA days it seems...

Nope, it clearly says "shipped" and not sold. I know Nintendo fans love to jump on positive news like a starving person would on a steak with salad and fries but the fact is "shipped" and "sold" is not the same thing. Unless it sold everything it shipped but then Nintendo would have said "sold" and not shipped. The numbers are good for the Switch of course but no need to jump the gun. |
Pathetic.
Even more that in the thread there's mod and not a single warning was thrown.
I can start now to think how to call sony fans now that I know it won't get any consecuence.
Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever
Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe
Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor
Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

What about the GBA days? Most games that were ported to GBA were already ancient.

This is the first time Nintendo screwed owners of a system so hard. Nintendo should have done the right thing and keep Wii U games on Wii U.

How is this screwing over Wii U owners? Are the remasters that come out on Switch removing the games from the Wii U?
I have both a Wii U and a Switch, and I'm glad the games are being ported to the Switch. One thing I loved most about the Wii U (and before with the Wii) was it's backward compatibility. Now with the Switch, it's physically impossible to use those big discs on the go, hence why they had to scrap backwards compatibility. Porting over all it's games is a way to ensure both consoles get the games, just like it was with backwards compatibility. The big difference here is that Switch owners don't get to play them for free if they had the Wii U version but have to buy them anew at full price most of the time, which could be argued is screwing Switch owners for their money for a late port - but still not scewing the Wii U.

When the Switch ports have more content than the Wii U games, and you have to buy the game AGAIN to get that content, it is screwing Wii U owners.
Also the Wii U will have no value and no legacy as a result of these ports.

I know it sucks. Nintendo hit the "no fun" button on Wii U and it's no longer possible to enjoy Wii U games at all. I tried playing Mario Kart 8 over the weekend and it was the most unfulfilling activity I've ever experienced in my life. I played it for 3 hours with my family and we were just as stoic as you can possibly be from it. Then I played New Super Mario Bros U and it was the same thing. Even though it's not on Switch it was now devoid of life and spirit and enjoyment. Played it for hours with the family too. Weird. |
It's no fun being duped into buying a shit console without exclusives. I don't tolerate such humilliation. And I didn't have nearly as much fun with the Wii U as with the Gamecube or Wii.
