...I'm still looking for this proof that the Nintendo of today resonates strongly with "family friendly" audiences outside of pure I'm going to say this because it sounds right. If that were true, the family friendly games by 3rd parties should have been successful on Wii U, but they really haven't been.
So far, the only audience Nintendo is resonating strongly with is the Nintendo audience.
They actually tried that with WiiU. No wonder why Nintendo Land was advertised to be the system's killer app title targeting the casual/family crowd. Too bad that didn't worked, because casuals/family audience weren't willing to buy a 300$ machine to play a mini-game collection.
Porting costs money. Not even family oriented titles sell too well on those platforms. Why port something when it will not recoup the costs?
Those games aren't really expensive to port, not even to produce. And yes, family/casual games were the best sellers on WiiU (not saying too much, yes), there are an audience for such titles there.
