3DS got a crappy version of DKCR already, if Switch doesn't get a simple up-ressed of DKCTF I will riot.

I still think it's shameful how the "definitive" versions of Yoshi's Wooly World and Hyrule Warriors are 3DS bound.

 

[Devilgunman]

All WiiU games should come to Switch. Too many people were missing out.

 

[darkstar0155]

Seriously, having a big brain fart. What is TMS? On a work PC so a pic wont answer my question.

 

[WhiteWaterM00se]

Sometimes I feel like maybe Sakurai is just working on something else that isn't Smash.

Sakurai tweeted the picture of the mech statue. Possibly implying it was for his next game.

 

[Chris1]

Sucks for WiiU owners if the console pretty much becomes obselete, but considering how few of them there are it's definitely a good move

... As someone who never bought a WiiU I hope they bring everything.

 

[SalvaPot]

I keep salivating at the idea of W101 on the go.

If Platinum doesn't deliver I'll have balls the size of Majin Boo.

Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE.

 

[Astral Dog]

I can't believe they are getting another chance 😢 its a miracle.

Fuck DF

Spoiler

if they are against it

 

[Spirited]

Ports never hurt anyone.

 

[Equanimity]

DF is better than that clickbait title.

On topic: I would love to see Nintendo port Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze, Super Mario 3D World, Super Mario Maker, Pikmim 3, Super Smash Bros and Captain Toad Treasure Tracker.

 

[Huge Succeeded]

It's great that people will get to ignore them all over again.

Half the games bombing had absolutely nothing to do with the install base.

you're kidding right?

 

[Calm Mind]

 

[Lilalaunebaer]

I would love TMS. Not going to buy that for the WiiU and if i had it i wouldn´t play it on it anymore. Better hurry though, cause when it runs well on Cemu i´ll play it there.

 

[dragonlife]

Good. I'd double-dip on Bayo, W101, and TMS.

 

[killroy87]

I would rebuy almost every marquee Wii U game on Switch, but I especially pine for Tropical Freeze, Captain Toad, and Mario Maker.

They were a bit silly to write off Mario Maker though. In docked mode you can either use a Joycon as a pointer, wiimote style, or just use an on screen pointer. If LittleBigPlanet can function with just a controller, Mario Maker should have no problem.

 

[Phoenixus]

And how many remasters did the ps4 have? Last of Us, Uncharted, God of War 3, all resident evils almost etc. Nobody said it was a bad thing there.

To be fair, people condemning ports for not being new games and somehow stopping them from happening is very common in any platform thread. Was even bannable at one point if I recall.

 

[TheLegendaryN]

Interesting that he mentions Pikmin 4 for Switch is still early in development. I had expected it to release fairly soon to be honest...

 

[VariantX]

Seems strange that the Wii U had great games but it bombed.

Those games came out way too late and too far between to do anything for the Wii U. The switch in its first year is going to have a library in its first year that makes the Wii U's first few years look like a joke, and the Wii U had some third party software occasionally trickling in to supplement it. Its hard to get people excited about a system that's plagued with droughts and gaps in software support.

Why would it suck? The Wii U won't stop working.

 

[Herb Alpert]

I would like Bayo 2 please.

I'd take a starfox zero "no second screen bullshit" edition but it would be more than a simple port...

 

[brinstar]

regardless of how the Wii U sold I love me some handheld re-releases

 

[franklyshankly]

Lol this video was just a 10 minute long port beg.

I agree though the more Wii U games on Switch the better.

 

[DecoReturns]

Would like TMS on Switch. Hated the lack of off tv play on Wii U.

 

[Ridley327]

Sometimes I feel like maybe Sakurai is just working on something else that isn't Smash.

It's possible, but it is a little suspicious that we've got Deluxe versions of Mario Kart 8 and Pokken as year 1 titles, yet Smash is nowhere to be seen. Even at a minimal involvement, I really doubt Sakurai would want something as simple as a port for the Switch.

 

[TheDinoman]

you're kidding right?

I mean, I think he might not be entirely wrong...

Let's be honest, games like Bayonetta 2 and Wonderful 101 would of done better on other consoles but not that better, I think. The first Bayo was on two consoles people actually owned (360/PS3) and it only sold a little over a million, which was a sales disappointment to SEGA.

 

[Skellig Gra]

I doubt I'll rebuy many if they do that but I'm sure they'll sell so it's a good business move for Nintendo.

 

[Skittzo0413]

I can't watch the video right now but are they basically assuming the Bayo and W101 teases are legit? Is that just their speculation or do they seem to have inside knowledge about that?

 

[robotuw]

If Xenoblade 2 and TMS come to the Switch I will finally buy one. That's all I need.

 

[SomewhatGroovy]

I wouldnt even mind Wii games being ported. The Last Story, Xenoblade Chronicles, and Sin & Punishment remasters would be great.

 

[Hindl]

I'd rebuy DKC, W101, and TMS

 

[Twig and Berries]

The Wii U has an amazing first party library and it was a flop. Those games should be lost on a such an obscure and unpopular system.

 

[theaffection]

Its a bad thing. People that didn't buy the Wii U don't deserve to play the great games that were on the console.

 

[franklyshankly]

I can't watch the video right now but are they basically assuming the Bayo and W101 teases are legit? Is that just their speculation or do they seem to have inside knowledge about that?

Seems just speculation, which make it strange that the title uses an exclamation mark. It should be a ?

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

They're apparently putting stock into them being teases. No inside knowledge.

Its a bad thing. People that didn't buy the Wii U don't deserve to play the great games that were on the console.

Yeah, anyone who at any point didn't buy a console for whatever reason doesn't deserve to ever play its games.

 

[Plinko]

Wii U was a dead system, and many of these games had almost no chance to catch on because of it. Releasing these games to see fan reaction on a wider base could help us see more entries in these franchises, which I have zero problem with.

 

[RoboGeorgeForeman]

I'm fine with that as long as there's a good balance between ports and new games. The PS4 has had quite a few ports/"remasters" as well, it's just kind of the way things are going now.

 

[Equanimity]

I agree though the more Wii U games on Switch the better.

Yeah this video was something.

I can't watch the video right now but are they basically assuming the Bayo and W101 teases are legit? Is that just their speculation or do they seem to have inside knowledge about that?

Speculation.

 

[AlStrong]

This is good.

 

[Vanillalite]

Port all of the single player stuff.

I'm iffy on the MP as I'd rather just get new entries at this point.

So port Bayo 1 & 2, but rather seem Mario Maker 2.0 vs just porting the Wii U variant.

 

[Phoenixus]

Would like TMS on Switch. Hated the lack of off tv play on Wii U.

I just want a version that doesn't force a second screen just for text conversations (as good as they were). I'd instantly double dip, even quicker so if it's not censored this time around.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

It's a bad thing because the Wii U has no software of value and the sooner it's library can be completely lost to the sands of time, the better.

 

[Richie]

Its a bad thing. People that didn't buy the Wii U don't deserve to play the great games that were on the console.

Those games weren't loved enough. Don't you think them deserving of theaffection?

 

[entremet]

LOL.

I missed a "not" lol.

 

[RulkezX]

you're kidding right?

The only people who owned the Wii U were the die hard - queue for days for Amibo - crowd and they still wouldn't buy W101 of TF.

This is GAF though , the thread will be filled with people who would readily admit they'd probably just buy the same games on Nintendo hardware into perpetuity.

 

[ViolentP]

I can certainly understand the concern.

 

[nubbe]

Port begging demands all of Wii U gets ported

 

[jroc74]

Yes. As long as 3D World makes it....I really dont want to buy a Wii U just to play it....

 

[pretty done]

yes it is, be damned all the butthurt fanboys that dont like it tbh

while they are at it, bring some wii games as well

Would be down for this as well. Skipped Wii entirely and wouldn't the right joycon do a decent enough job at emulating the pointer stuff? It works pretty good in Zelda.

 

[Skittzo0413]

Seems just speculation, which make it strange that the title uses an exclamation mark. It should be a ?

Okay yeah I agree, kind of a strange title when none of those are yet confirmed.

As of now we have 2 enhanced Wii U ports on the system, let's not count our chickens before they hatch.


That said I would 100% buy Bayo 1+2, W101 and Hyrule Warriors again. 75% DKCTF and Mario 3DW.
