PineappleLawnchair | 88 Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Word is not even Nintendo wanted to port Wonderful lol, and this is the company that thought the bomb called hashtag Fire Emblem was good enough for a port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mae247 | 207 Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Does anyone have a lead on the Japanese physical release of Phoenix Wright? I know it has options for English. I know here in the us we only got a digital version though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing erases the memory of that stain better than touching up/re-releasing the few good games that system got that were sadly unjustly cut short on true profit and consumer value being stuck to that dumpster fire. It makes a lot of sense to take those for most lost games and give them a proper release with a proper chance to make solid money and name recognition off of. As long as it's not done the harm of new stuff coming out, it's a win. I probably wouldn't have worded this quite the same, but I mostly agree with the point. I say release all the good Wii U stuff on Switch so people actually have a chance to play it. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also see several copies on Ebay for around the same price total after shipping. Probably get it faster through Ebay, honestly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port all the "good" stuff from a low install base platform to a high install base so more people can buy it. That said, as to Tanooki's wording - I'm personally of the mindset that given the small Wii U library, it has a really high ratio of good games, personally. And one side-effect of these ports is that it seems to make the Wii U versions less desirable so I've picked up cheap copies of Tokyo Mirage Sessions, NSMBU/NSLU, Mario Kart 8, and so on when people have been upgrading to Switch ports.

TDIRunner | 2,731 Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 I've said this before, but while the Wii U was certainly a failure as a Nintendo console, the quality of the library of games was still amazing and the fact that so many of them have been ported to the Switch really supports that notion. It's weird to think that in the not too distant future, the Wii U will be a truly obsolete console. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Virtual Console there makes it a beast of a machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aguy | 771 Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 It might not be a popular opinion, but say bring all the good Wii U games to the Switch. With the console, gamepad, 2 ac adapters, etc..., the Wii U takes up a lot of space I'd love to get back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only game I really hope they port is Mario 3D World, but I’ll live if it isn’t. I know the Switch is far from the ideal way to play these games, but I picked up Planescape Torment and Icewind Dale because I found the physical copy for dirt cheap locally.

Mae247 | 207 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Dunno if anyone realizes this but target is doing a buy two get the third free sale on certain switch, ps4, Xbox games. It may not include Pokémon, Mario, or Zelda (yes I know that sucks!) but many others are included. I know it’s not the best deal but wanted to share.

I say release all the good Wii U stuff on Switch so people actually have a chance to play it. I understand. I probably shouldn't, but i took personal offense to the WiiU and probably always will so I'd be happy to see it metaphorically burn. I've been a happy Nintendo owner since the beginning 35 years ago this year now and I've always trusted their hardware to give me some sustained fun, even the darker times with spread out N64 releases, even with the ridicule the nice Wii got for waggle this and SD that. The WiiU though, it broke a trust 3 decades long, and to the point had they released another straight console I would NOT have bought it, at the least 2-3 years in to prove it wouldn't go up in flames again, if at all. It pleased me to no end when they torched their console R&D department entirely and folded the good of it into the handheld wing that has never been a let down, ever. Each stab they take at that piece of crap and move every last quality game stranded on it into the Switch and for a time too the 3DS made me that much happier watching it slip into true irrelevance. I've got nothing against the games, just the hardware, their stupid decisions, the terrible design of the hardware and coding software, all of it on that end. The games, fantastic, love nothing more to see every last one of them leave to where they can get the support and care they deserve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in the same school of thought; a truly great ratio of good games to fluff, and some really quality titles in the bunch.....BUT, Nintendo just mishandled basically everything on the hardware front. Even the name is probably the stupidest console name in the history of mass-produced consoles....and I say that as someone well aware of the fact that the Xbox One X and Series X exist. I just wanna see a small handful of ports come over now and then I can bury the memory of the Wii U altogether. Honestly all I want at this point is Super Mario 3D World and Xenoblade Chronicles X. Give us those 2 games and I'll never mention the Wii U again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give us those 2 games and I'll never mention the Wii U again. Same here on the MS side, and it was made so evidently obvious to me watching/listening to many retail conversations while I was standing near by and even then asking the employee what's up after the fact too sometimes. Employees, customers, whatever, they thought that damn thing was a Wii addon device, and that the blue boxes were like the equal to Gameboy Color where you had games that needed the upgrade to work. I mean they weren't entirely wrong either given it dual booted anything Wii, but still...so so dumb. My understanding was the two you want there are coming this year, among others of the remaining scraps of what little dignity that pos has left to cling to. Well Mario is assumed but pretty sure the other was noted as coming and the rest falling into Nintendo saying other WiiU stuff was coming and the list is shrinking fast to pull a guess from that won't be right.

Mae247 | 207 Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Dunno if anyone cares but GameStop is doing buy 2 get 1 free pre owned games. I didn’t see a restriction on the website, only see they have to be pre owned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snes_collector | 56 Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 (edited) I hope those will make it over eventually. I wonder about Devils Third? I feel like it would go over pretty well with a Switch port edit: I just look at the Wii U price and I’m shocked- it has jumped back to an insane number. I picked it up sealed for about $40 a couple years ago, looks like copies are selling for $150+ now Edited February 22, 2020 by snes_collector Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiamiSlice | 3,089 Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Just popping in to say I finally got my Switch collection all in one place. Only things not pictured are all the Labo kits, some accessories, and the Switches themselves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
