I feel like the people upset that the games are getting re-released on the Switch haven't really given a good reason to why its bad. Like, even if you bought and played the game before how does the re-release actively make your experience with other new games worse? The only thing I can think of is the possibility of stealing developer resources from new games being developed but ports do not take as much work and time as other games and often times these ports are outsourced to other companies anyway.
They have no excuses. I'm just going to buy something else.The file size for Bayo 1+2 on WiiU was 32.2GB, bigger than the Switch's 32GB card. But this site states that both games have a smaller file size on the Switch.
These ports are not getting in the way of new game development though. New games won't magically get made to fill the space if the ports aren't there.It's partially that and partially that they would prefer more actual new games released in the meantime.
And how many of those non ports are likely to come out this year?
Irrelevant if the non-ports are not coming out in 2018 aka this year, aka the year that I'm talking about.Your original post was "If Nintendo's 2018 Switch plans are ports, ports, and more ports, then that's pretty disappointing after how great 2017 was for it."
I asked you to count the amount of ports from Nintendo.
Sakurai did too good of a job really making a brand new IP for that just to lay dormant. The dual sticks and gyro/IR aiming could address the control issues. A great cast of characters with exciting gameplay... it's right there Nintendo. Just pick it up again!
I think the gulf between the 3DS and the Switch is also a factor. Only one screen, some games require more precise touch controls that maybe can't be replicated with the pointer (e.g., tracing your way out of a map in a Layton game), and of course the resolution and power. OoT and MM on the 3DS look good... for 3DS games. Grezzo did a good job of trying to match the original art, but it's still a 3DS game.Im not annoyed at the ports, im annoyed it's not ones I actually want, where is my Zelda Majora's Mask and Ocarina of time Remake Bundle? Seem to be more willing to port WiiU games than 3DS, not that surprising considering how awful WiiU numbers were...
Seriously. It's one of those "like a trilogy of games in one" titles. (Actually, all 3 of the titles I pointed out are like that, maybe why I love them all so). The writing is so top notch. So many twists and turns and great characters.Sakurai did too good of a job really making a brand new IP for that just to lay dormant.

I don't mind ports, but i am pissed that one announcement of the direct was not localization of Monster Hunter XX...like that's an easy localization
They are not going to waste the money on a bigger Switch card to fit both games on this remaster that isn't going to move a ton of units, it'd be stupid of Nintendo to do that.
This! I want to see Mario 3D World at least and I want more remasters from the other platforms such as Mario Galaxy HD collection, Metroid Prime Trilogy HD and Kid Icarus Uprising HD.

Not sure what point your trying to make, but it isn't a good one.
We don't know how many units this is going to sell.They are not going to waste the money on a bigger Switch card to fit both games on this remaster that isn't going to move a ton of units, it'd be stupid of Nintendo to do that.
Bayonetta isn't a massive franchise like Dragon Ball.We don't know how many units this is going to sell.
Look at XV2. it just moved 500K.
What you actually wrote is irrelevant, noted. For the new goalpost:
Kirby Star Allies- coming March 16
https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/kirby-star-allies-switch
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze- coming May 04
https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/donkey-kong-country-tropical-freeze-switch
Mario Tennis Aces - coming Spring 2018
https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/mario-tennis-aces-switch
Seriously, how can you watch a 15 minutes video about new games for the first few months of the year see 2 new games and 1 port for that timeframe and conclude ports, ports, ports and no new games for 2018?
Like... how?
Sorry you had trouble reading my original post. Reading comprehension doesn't come easy for some.
As to your question, it's simple. Two new games compared to a flood of ports. It's pretty obvious Nintendo is going to be using a ridiculous number of ports as a crutch. Mario Tennis and Kirby are hardly on the level of the new games that came out on the Switch in 2017.
Cool. Keep saying "new goalpost" since you clearly didn't read my original post, despite quoting it.So the new goalpost is Kirby and Mario Tennis are not on the same level as 2 of the 3 greatest games of this generation(third one is GTA V, a port)? Instead of ports, ports, ports and no new games?
Okay.
Here's hoping for Mario Maker Switch, although the lack of touch control (in docked mode, at least) means making levels will be sloppier unless they manage to desgin an editor focused mainly on gamepad controls.
Spent countless hours on WiiU designing levels and playing great levels made by the community, a bigger playerbase wluld result in an even more active community.

what? Wii games can run on Wii U hardware without emulation. the inverse is more accurateIt's also way harder to port a Wii game to Wii U than it does a Wii U game to Switch. That and the Wii U was backwards compatible so it would've been pointless.
Those aren't ports, those are the original games running on hardware compatible with it. I literally said that too.what? Wii games can run on Wii U hardware without emulation. the inverse is more accurate
