Not at all. It rounds out the system's library and makes it an overall more attractive package. And since many people will be experiencing these games for the first time, they might as well be new to those folks.

The Switch Port Discussion Thread
- Thread starter -PXG-
- Start date
Yup. Like I said, DKCR3 is pretty much a no brainier (whatever fictitious big boy game you think Retro's working on)
This. Like I said in the other thread. There are a a handful of WiiU games and old ports that I missed and would like to play. But I skipped WiiU because it had a weak line-up that didn't justify the price -- not because I couldn't take those games on the go.
I got a lot of the originals on Switch but have not touch some of them because I could bother with the Wii U anymore. I am very glad the ports exists as now I can enjoy them properly. All I need now is a port of TMS and I will be very satisfied.
I already said this in the other thread but I think it's perfectly acceptable, the only issue I have right now is that the ports I want aren't being announced yet. I really want to play games like Xenoblade X, Tokyo Mirage Sessions, Wonderful 101 and a few others so even if the games announced so far aren't blowing my skirt up it gives me hope that they will come eventually.
PREACH!
And no, I don't. I enjoy playing my Switch more than any other platform, I think it's a pleasure to use. So I say put everything on it. It's not like ports inherently come at the expense of newer titles, we have no reason to believe that.

It's nice for those that never owned a Wii U, but there is no way I'm double dipping on Hyrule Warriors and Tropical Freeze. The novelty of Zelda musou wore off quickly and while DK was fun, I don't feel like replaying it.
TWEWY at least adds a new scenario.

With the news of the Nvidia Shield getting HD Wii ports such as Mario Galaxy and Twilight Princess in China, the tech is pretty much there to put them on the Switch too, no?
I was hoping that we'd get Galaxy HD or the Metroid Prime Trilogy in HD because 4 is coming up.
Do you think they'll give us some Wii ports?

A lot of the Wii U games deserved more attention so porting them makes sense.
It's fine as long as ports are not made in lieu of new ones, and Nintendo has more than enough resources to do both.

The Switch was port-heavy from the moment it came out. Its biggest launch game, Zelda BOTW, was a Wii U port.
And yet it seems to be doing just fine, so I think that folks are okay with this. Port-heavy? Absolutely. Too port-heavy? Probably not.

I would really like a Xenoblade Chronicles remaster. I never owned a Wii and missed out on this gem.
It's the first handheld that can consistently deliver consple experiences on the go, being port heavy is a plus.
I wouldn't be surprised if they headlined a VC launch in the Autumn, retooled for joycon play.
The game that would most benefit from HD is Punch-Out!! Due to its art style. Imagine it rendered in a higher resolution.
Yes and I dont like that. Already played those games on Wii U. The good way is the Microsoft one. Have access at what you already paid for. If people that havent supported Nintendo are happy good for them. For me it s a stab on the back I want new games I ve never played.
No matter how many ports they are, if they release original games on this console then it's fine.
But there's no original games coming soon except one Kirby and Mario Tennis which is a little barebones if you ask me

Pretty sure Splatoon 2 was made from scratch.
I'm a Wii U owner day 1 and I'm happily rebuying Beyonetta 1/2 and Donkey Kong. I already rebought, Pokken and Mario Kart 8 and don't regret it one bit because there was enough incentive for me to do so.
The resources required to bring about these enhanced ports are nothing compared to what goes into a full on sequel and now mother fletchers will actually give games like Donkey Kong a chance.

I loved Hyrule Warriors on the Wii U, played it for 300+ hours and could play even more. If the port adds new stuff (I missed the 3DS version, so it's a "yes" for me), then I'm interested.
Same goes for Mario Kart 8. Loved it on the Wii U, played it for 300+ hours, still want more, I'm glad the Switch version adds stuff.
Honestly, I haven't brought the Switch yet, but if they announce a Xenoblade X with new content, you bet I'll be there. It's my favorite game EVER.

Not at all.
Almost no one played the Wii U games, for obvious reasons. It's the perfect way to give a second life to those games and make the Switch library more software-rich.
Basically, it's win-win for everyone.

The Switch's lifespan will be longer than two years... they need to leave something for next year & beyond!
This is not news, starting with the PS3, all the consoles had ports to fill up their release schedule.
Now they must be careful to not rely exclusively on them, and there is indeed new games releasing with them.
I guess you could make the argument that nobody bought a Wii U too.

As someone who is not yet interested in Switch mostly because I still have a very long Wii U backlog, I'm okay with this. It means that I won't need to buy a Switch for a while longer.
The fact that more folks will get to experience these great games is also good.
Don't hold your breath for that one. I'm not certain that Nintendo will release it on a single-screen system. But I've been wrong before.

Sure, but Switch is also purchased under the premise of accessing your Nintendo games on the go.
People obviously want the new games, but this premise can still apply to older games, too. See: Mario Kart 8, which has probably surpassed Zelda by now. I want all of Nintendo's library on Switch eventually, if it's possible.
edit: Worth noting, also announced today for non-Nintendo platforms: remasters of Dark Souls, Final Fantasy XII (PC), and fucking Assassin's Creed Rogue
I didn't say solely or all of. 60% can be a majority. I never said overwhelming majority. Do you know anyone who owned a Wii U though with no plans of getting a Switch? I would be interested in an actual survey on this.
I think once a new Pokemon comes out, the Switch will get most of the handheld userbase and be fine anyway.
Pissed.
