I'm sure this has been discussed before but I couldn't find a thread on it. Which Wii U ports would you like to see? I understand many would prefer NEW games, but I'm guessing there will definitely be more Wii U ports.
Wonderful 101, Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE, Xenoblade Chronicles X, and Pikmin 3.
Switch Physical Collection - 1,251 games (as of April 24th, 2024)

we should have no more Wii U ports.
I bought a Switch to have new games released for it.

they say that life’s a carousel, spinning fast you’ve got to ride it well. The world is full of kings and queens who blind your eyes and steal your dreams. It’s heaven and hell.
I do absolutely agree with this but as I said in my first post, I think ports are inevitable so I was just wondering which ones people would be happy to see.
Now that I've gotten into the Persona series, Tokyo Mirage Sessions might be more interesting than it was to me before. Still I'd have to look into it more before I'd think of getting it.
@CharlieSmile Or... you could just not buy the Wii U ports, and it accomplishes the same thing, but without depriving Switch owners who never owned a Wii U the chance to play the best games on that system. Remember, it sold so poorly that the Switch outsold it in its first year on the market. That's a LOT of Switch owners for who these are, effectively, new games.
That said I feel like we need to make backwards compatibility a real standard to keep from now on to reduce a lot of the needs for ports and instead have remasters that can fix problems. There's no reason not to have backwards compatibility on the next Xbox and PlayStation. Leaving it out will really hurt the offending platform extremely badly and no marketing can counteract that.
But Nintendo has the hardest time with this considering the extremely different control inputs for each of their games in different platforms. Mario Galaxy on the Nvidia Shield, for example (which it does exist officially in China), suffers due to the pointer controls being kinda bad in comparison since it's controlled with the right stick. And since Nintendo gotta Nintendo at points with some wacky controls... backwards compatibility isn't a guarantee unless they can make the old stuff/controllers work, then that's fine.

Please let me know before you send me a FC request, thanks.
@Ralizah
honestly, nah.
"I didn't have that system, so I would like every popular game for it released on this system I have."
what kinda mentality is that?
I'm not gonna get angsty that Fable wasn't released on the PS3, for example.
I'm not gonna beg for Perfect Dark Zero on Switch, for another example.
when I miss out on console exclusives because I didn't own that console, that's a personal problem.
I don't see the logic behind thinking that Wii U games shouldn't be ported to the Switch because you happen to only want new games.
A) Ports don't preclude or replace new games overall.
B) A lot of people didn't own a Wii U, so there's a lot of money to be made by Nintendo porting their Wii U exclusives.
C) New games aren't inherently better or more valuable than older games. And the line is fuzzy these days anyway. What's an "old" game? Are remasters of last gen games like Skyrim, Tales of Vesperia, etc. old games? Are full-blown remakes old or new games? What about recent ports from other consoles?
D) The Switch allows these games to be played in portable form. That won't be a big deal for some, but it clearly is for others.
So these ports are a win/win for everyone. People who haven't played them before or want them in portable form get what they want. Nintendo makes a ton of money from relatively little development work. There's literally no downside to these Wii U ports.
If a person doesn't want them, as I said, they can just not buy them, and that effectively accomplishes the same thing as the game never releasing in the first place.
There's no reason not to port as many games to the Switch as possible if they keep selling well.
@CharlieSmile You're literally using examples of games directly owned by Microsoft going on other platforms. THAT is irrational to ask for. Not games going from one generation from another owned by the same company, especially since companies see the money of people wanting games from a previous generation onto a new generation, either to get it for the first time or double dip. That's pretty much why the later years of the PS3/360 generation and why this entire generation has been filled with remasters/remakes, yet also supplementing new games so it's not a bad thing at all.
