So why are these re-released games you’ve never played a problem then? They’re still new to you.

I think the problem here is that you were a sucker that bought a Wii U so these games are old to you. Whereas with someone like myself who skipped Wii U I’m being rewarded for waiting. :yeshrug None of us Switch owners should have to suffer buying a Wii U to play NSMBU.

I mean, these ports are great but I'm still glad I experienced them when they came out. :yeshrug Like, the Wii U version of Mario Kart 8 wasn't as good but it was still a lot of fun. Wii U buyers may have been suckers but as these Switch ports are pointing out, it had a decent little library.

why would anyone blame them for that

they have a large install base and lots of already made games just sitting around.  They can make a ton of money by doing very little additional work
The late era Wii and the entire Wii U library are largely forgotten so Nintendo can easily get away with quick buck HD ports and people will still think of them as new.

Yup.  And I don't see people bitching and whining when games get ported up and re-released as "HD" versions on other consoles.

The Switch gets new stuff every week too, though.  There's clearly a lot of ports to it, but it's not like the eShop isn't getting new content all the time and lots of the indie games also even get physical releases.

Pretty sure people with standards were equally not pleased when Last of Us was a major PS4 release. In fact, I remember a pretty vocal discourse over too many ports/pseudo remasters taking spotlight at the beginning of the generation.

I bought a refurb Wii U in 2014 for like $200. I played it more than my pe4 and Xbox combined through 2015. It had too many droughts but the highs were really high.

As somebody that didn't own a Wii or Wii U I am happy that those ports are coming, but

a) it sucks that those games are all 50-60€, escpecially when you know that the same games where already at 20€ or below a couple of years ago
b) it can't be denied that most of those games aren't anywhere near as fresh as Odyssey or BotW.

I mean most games aren't as good as BotW but I am kinda bored by those competent but samey Nintendo games. Mario Tennis, Kirby, Tropical Freeze Port, Toad Port. Even the new Smash Brothers. All good, maybe great games but not as exciting as they could be. Botw showed that Nintendo can still show the industry how it's done, but for the most part they seem to be content with releasing or rehashing their tried and true games for an actually sucessful console.

I don’t think you’re being fair.

The switch is a year and a half old.

As far as year old consoles go I think it’s library is pretty fucking good and games like BOTW can’t be shelled out like people want. It takes time.

This too.  They did pretty well in terms of having at least one "big" release almost every month last year, but it kind of slowed down this past year and that's understandable.

Well I am sure Nintendo will release other great games but save for Metroid Prime 4 Not much is announced that excites me.

In German there is a saying that roughly translates to "anticipation is the biggest joy" and that's just something where Nintendo has been lacking for a while. Partly that's because Pokémon and Smash don't do much for myself.

Didn't like Arms and I thought Sushi Striker was a B Tier game?
I gotta try Splatoon someday, not much of a multiplayer gamer but I heard the expansion has great SP content.

Underpowered Nintendo machines are best for exclusives and the exclusive content so far might be above average for a handheld, but among Nintendo consoles it would be at the bottom alongside WiiU. Wii also got its cross gen Zelda and new Mario, alongside smaller stuff like Warioware, Mario Soccer and Excite Truck. But on top of that you also had Fire Emblem, Metroid Prime, Paper Mario in the first year, Smash Bros soon after. Gamecube immediately launched several diverse new IPs like Eternal Darkness, Pikmin and Luigi's Mansion, alongside iterations of Smash Bros, Wave Race and at this point of the gen you'd probably be playing the absolute GOATs Metroid Prime and F-Zero GX. Plus, exclusive best Resident Evil game and Sega Content. And Super Nintendo is from a superior time that had all the third parties with the freshest content from the get-go. Switch looking pretty weak compared to that. Also, WiiU support has been dead forever, 3DS only been kept alive with small scaled projects - so there's really no excuse for the Nintendo lineup looking this bleak since forever. N64 was pretty drought-heavy from the very beginning too, but arguably Mario 64 >> everything today.

I have enough games that I'm interested in. Hell I'm still catching up with 2017.  I buy and play lots of indie games and probably will buy Tropical Freeze, Xenoblade 2 and NSMBU.

Just missing that special game to look forward to. Who knows, maybe   MP4 will have a cool trailer at the VGA or they announce a cool 2 D Zelda game. Secretly I dream about an new Advanced Wars title...

If AC stays true to itself, then I've already played that game 3 times (and thankfully didn't pay for it on 3DS, where the whole mayor shtick barely added anything to the gameplay).

Prior consoles were superior where it mattered. Exclusives were more plentiful in the same timeframe as this generation and that's only counting the console output, not even thinking about the secondary systems Nintendo supported on top of it. Now they have a single platform and somehow they are still in the WiiU dripfeed. Except if you wank over old ass games and indie junk. To me that's not a sufficient way to judge a system though (unless the console is really cheap to begin with), considering that with this logic you can sugarcoat any trash system from Vita to Ouya.  :doge  I.e. who needs a new console for indie games that cost a buck on Steam and even my decade old PC can run. Old Nintendo games might be good for casuals and others who didn't buy a WiiU, but also know that they probably paid more for Donkey Kong than I did 5 years ago :lol

I think you should go back and look to see what released on the older systems within the same timeframe first.

Now they have a single platform and somehow they are still in the WiiU dripfeed. Except if you wank over old ass games and indie junk.

Not at all.  This system doesn't even begin to approach the drought that was the Wii U.  You're also just collectively shitting on all the games not from major publishers and that's another ridiculous thing to say.

That's what I did in my first post you quoted. SNES, GCN, Wii were better for exclusives in the first 1 1/2 years. I didn't find Wind Waker or BotW particularly great, but the GCN library faltered significantly less because of that - too many other certified GOATs were already available early. Wii launch year had many similarities to Switch's 1st party, except it had more classic franchise iterations in a shorter time. N64 depends on how much you value Mario 64 and Goldeneye.

It's better than most of their handhelds so far, so best I can hope for is that exclusive output explodes whenever the revision comes similar to DS and 3DS :idont

Comparing Wii U output to switch just means you don’t remember how shit the Wii U’s launch schedule really was.

I’m pretty sure Nintendo only published 5 full retail games in the first year of the Wii U, and one retail dlc for a launch game.
NSMBU
Twilight Princess HD
Wario Ware
NSLGU
Pikmin 3
Wii U Fit

Super Mario 3D world and Mario and Sahnic Winter Olympics I think just barely missed 1 year.

They also didn’t release a single game between launch and June of the next year. They didn’t release a single Nintendo published game for 9 months. Switch has basically had a Nintendo release every other month at least.

OK, let's look at the games you mentioned on GC and Wii since Wii U was covered above:

Warioware Smooth Moves
Mario Strikers Charged (Was this a sequel or a GC port?)
Excite Truck
Fire Emblem
Metroid Prime 3
Super Paper Mario
Smash Bros. Brawl

Game Cube:

Eternal Darkness (lol)
Pikmin
Luigi's Mansion
Smash Bros. Melee
Wave Race Blue Storm
Resident Evil (Ended up being multi-platform)
Metroid Prime
F-Zero GX
Super Monkey Ball (what other good Sega content was there?)

Out of those games, Switch is already getting Fire Emblem, Metroid Prime 4, and Luigi's Mansion 3 in 2019.  Smash Ultimate is next week.

Nintendo or exclusive third party games that the Switch has gotten so far:

Super Mario Odyssey
Maro Tennis Aces
Fast RMX
ARMS
Xenoblade 2
Xenoblade 2 Torna
Kirby Star Allies
Splatoon 2
Mario+Rabbids Kingdom Battle
Octopath Traveler
Ultra Street Fighter II (lawl)
Fallen Legion Rise To Glory
Golf Story
Bomb Chicken
Senran Kagura Reflexions
Senran Kagura Peachball (Out next month)
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (Out next week)
Kamiko
Mario Party Whatever
Pokemon Let's Go
LABO (LOOOOL)

Games released on 3DS or Wii U and Switch during this time:
Zelda Breath Of The Wild
Fire Emblem Warriors
Sushi Striker
Azure Striker Gunvolt 2
Blaster Master Zero

Games released on Steam or Mobile but exclusive to Switch for consoles:
VOEZ
The Messenger
Pocket Rumble
Blossom Tales
Phantom Trigger

And then add in the port-ups from Wii U and you've got a lot of good stuff for the first year and a half.  Games like Mario Kart 8 got some big improvements over the originals as well, with a full battle mode added, and Hyrule Warriors DX has the extra gameplay features from the 3DS version, so they're not all just straight ports.

Seems pretty good to me.

Missed Mario Galaxy, NMH and Twilight Princess for Wii. Animal Crossing, best Soul Calibur 2, Phantasy Star, Star Wars, etc. on Gamecube... Resident Evil remake wasn't multiplatform until a couple of years ago. ED is awesome because of the historic settings, which is still unique. FAST I already had on WiiU. Either way, I don't care if it's shallow, but no way I can put stuff like Golf Story or Kirby Star Allies on the same level as Resident Evil, F-Zero GX or Metroid Prime. Let alone celebrate rereleases like Binding of Isaac or ugly Street Fighter 2 on a new machine. I just can't see it. Metroid, like many things, is nothing but a cryptic promise so far on Switch*, while I already played a new entry on Wii at that time and was already looking forward to the next things (though admittedly Wii died after only 4 years and I don't see that happening for Switch). If we're going into places like Kirby and Labo, there's been enough B-tier content like Starfox Adventures, Battalion Wars, RE Chronicles and Wii __ that made up for that too.

fake edit: *which also reminds me that after WiiU I don't give Nintendo points for showing bare project names anymore. Either it's still ways off (Zelda U, Xenoblade U, etc. seeing years of delays), or it's gonna be things no one asked for (No More Heroes minigame collection), or both (waiting years for MegaTen x Fire Emblem until it turned out to be some cringe idol simulator).

Ah yes, the Wii U... that was completely bonkers.
Nintendo had a launch window that lasted 14 months.

At the same time they had to scramble to salvage the 3DS.

They showed off Battlefield, Bioshock and a dozen other games that would never be released.
It was fucking ridiculous.  :lol

SpielerEins bagging at length on Nintendo reminding me of the old GAF threads during the transition to Wii U.

Twin Snakes  :yuck

I appreciate Twin Snakes way more today then when it came out. It's iinferior to MGS in almost every way, but I'm still glad it exists.

Missed Mario Galaxy, NMH and Twilight Princess for Wii.

The Switch has Mario Odyssey, Travis Strikes Again (out in January, still before the two year mark), and Breath Of The Wild.

Animal Crossing, best Soul Calibur 2, Phantasy Star, Star Wars, etc. on Gamecube...

Animal Crossing is also coming to Switch.  And now you're bringing in multi-platform third party games which I thought weren't supposed to be part of this.

Resident Evil remake wasn't multiplatform until a couple of years ago. ED is awesome because of the historic settings, which is still unique. FAST I already had on WiiU. Either way, I don't care if it's shallow, but no way I can put stuff like Golf Story or Kirby Star Allies on the same level as Resident Evil, F-Zero GX or Metroid Prime. Let alone celebrate rereleases like Binding of Isaac or ugly Street Fighter 2 on a new machine. I just can't see it. Metroid, like many things, is nothing but a cryptic promise so far on Switch*, while I already played a new entry on Wii at that time and was already looking forward to the next things (though admittedly Wii died after only 4 years and I don't see that happening for Switch). If we're going into places like Kirby and Labo, there's been enough B-tier content like Starfox Adventures, Battalion Wars, RE Chronicles and Wii __ that made up for that too.

Maybe you just liked games more back then than you do now.  I can relate.

Mario Strikers Charged (Was this a sequel or a GC port?)
It's like an update, added characters, items, online play, etc.

This why we need LoK remaster collection. Can't even recommend BO with its excessive load times for simply opening the menu or equiping shit :tocry Great Zelda clone underneath, like really no other Zelda clone.

I think Square Enix?  Soul Reaver games were crystal dynamics but I can't recall if all of the Kain games were.

In 1997, GameSpot divulged that Silicon Knights had filed a lawsuit against their former partner for ownership of the series, requesting an injunction to prevent Crystal Dynamics from publicizing Soul Reaver. Silicon Knights, they reported, accused Crystal Dynamics of plagiarizing their concept for a sequel.

The dispute was settled in private, with Crystal Dynamics retaining the rights to the game, and permission to create derivative work using its characters, provided they credit Silicon Knights as the developer of Blood Omen in their sequel.

In other words, Square-Enix owns the rights.

Is there any way I can use my joycons together as a single PC controller?

Help me look at viable switch bundles. I want Mario Kart 8, DKC:TF, Mario Odyssey, and Zelda: BOTW.

I think the answer is yes, but I don’t think it’s 100% flawless.

There is a program called vjoy that allows you to map one controller against both devices. Only thing you should need is a Bluetooth dongle for your pc.

Wtf Nintendo

60 for Mario kart 8 and dkctf? You bastards. That puts me at 240 dollars for all the games I want. Smh.

Even NSMBU is 60. You mother fuckers.

RIP to handheld game prices?! Nooooooooooo. Because of being a hybrid I expected switch to have a more diverse pricing. But it doesn’t seem to be the case. The Wii U games should be half their retail price.
