1s1, Nintendo is a business, not a passion project.
2nd, no one is forcing customers to buy said product
3rd, if new games aren't ready, they're not ready. Nintendo already stated a couple of titles slated for 2018 were delayed, it isn't as if they're purposely intending to shaft Switch owners.

1. I know that money is needed to keep a business running and that it frequently is the absolute goal of a company. But I don't think that all standards should be thrown out of the window for the sake of money, espescially if a company is in a very stable financial position.

You see, many people like these products (me included). And if you like something you can overlook the bad things it comes with (f.e. the pricepoint). But that doesn't mean you can't criticise it. I think the difference between you and me is, that I feel like that companies also have a responsability for their products, while you say that's only by the customer. I could be wrong though.

You don't have to buy their ports if you're not interested in them. There are plenty games to pick instead.
Also, you said these ports aren't good enough of a deal for people who have not already played it. Why not? These people can now play the games, too. All these games are excellent on their own. Being ports doesn't make them worse suddenly.

A lower pricepoint doesn't make a game worse. A Select-Title isn't worse than its original, Super Mario World isn't worse on VC than the original SNES-Title because of the differences in what you have to pay. And so on. I don't think a re-release of a four year old game should cost the same as then. Would you buy a PS3-game which re-released on the PS4 with minor improvements for full price? Wouldn't you think that this is a bit unfair?
RolStoppable said: I appreciate your upfront honesty to admit that you left any sense of objectivity concerning this topic at the door. Thx! I don't appreciate that you go back on your honesty when you form your conclusion. You say "Full price wouldn't be a problem anymore." when the sales data shows that full price isn't a problem to begin with. In the end this is just another "I'd like to pay less for games I want to buy" thread. There's already a solution for this predicament: Wait until demand for the games drops and buy them when they are cheaper, and in the meantime keep an eye out for special deals by retailers. |
Hm, I'd rather say it's just another "I'd like Nintendo to change its behaviour" thread. Yes, many people buy Wii U-Ports but that doesn't make the situation any better, does it? Only for Nintendos finances of course. I could wait untill the price drops but that's not the point here. I wanted to point out why Nintendos practices aren't consumer-friendly and further take on a solution that doesn't just say "Stop making ports", while I know that what I've suggested has its flaws and can absolutly be seen as too avaricious, as Veknoid_Outcast said.
