This is literally a Wii ISO
Also only had Wii remote support.
That's fine, but the Switch has essentially a Wii remote and nunchuck included. That shouldn't prevent a Wii game from releasing for the system.
give me a break. for one thing, this is a far cry from "support."
In my opinion, any game released for a platform is support. I'm not saying that it is a great deal of said support, but it is either way.
They would have to have a Wii emulator up and running on Switch for this to even possibly release on the platform since it's just a dump of the Wii game and not an actual port. I doubt competent Wii emulation is even feasible on the Switch's hardware
This is a fair point, but there's also something about this that consumers shouldn't ignore. Nintendo could have been using the past 2+ years getting a Wii emulator, or software conversion process in place to support their new console with content that is already released on and continues to be released on their now last generation hardware. It's just an odd decision for a software deprived hardware manufacturer to make for the launch of their next big thing. Mind you, I'm perfectly happy with the handful of games that I own now and am looking forward to MK8, but it would be nice to have the option to buy some Wii/VC games that are tied to my account and allow be to play at home or away.
The fuck is wrong with people today trying to cut out other platforms just because they believe they can get what they want much faster? Over at the PS+ thread where folks demanding Sony should stop supporting PS3 with "free" games so they can have more PS4 items and now here.
Almost all of Nintendo is supporting the Switch save for just the small percentage that's just putting out a random VC title or two since the Virtual Console hasn't been introduced to the Switch yet. Not everyone who owned a Wii U is out there buying a Switch. I'm glad Pikmin 2 is coming out because I never owned a Gamecube to play it and it'll be cool to finally play the game since I still have my Wii U.
The support for older systems will cease eventually so hold your horses.
Again, as I stated in this thread to a similar comment: the support for Wii U isn't my issue, it's the lack of simultaneous support for their new hardware. The decision is just counter to what they should be doing in my opinion. In all likelihood a rerelease of a rerelease on their worst selling console isn't going to be making them much money, but that same game coming to the Switch would be much more beneficial.
