@Tank207 No, it's not. I bought something that exists. You and others are saying Wii U games should be ported to Switch. That's entitlement. If you want them so badly, go buy them on the Wii U. Nothing's stopping you or anyone else.
@Tank207 The Switch doesn't have a much larger install base than the Wii U(it will but it currently doesn't) and Nintendo started porting Wii U games from day one(actually before the Switch released) when they had no idea at that point how the Switch would sell.
Tough crap people. You act like you are entitled to them but you're not. You had ample opportunity to buy these on Wii U, you still do. But Nintendo will only be too delighted to charge full price on old games for little work.
@stocko Thanks for confirming what I suspected you are. That was all your "response" deserved. Your one sentence, poor grammar and didn't make any meaningful contribution other than to slag off my opinion.
I just realised I left a sentence in there from my first post which I copied and pasted from the forums. Sorry, that shouldn't have been there and I see now why some people are a bit narky.
@Grumblevolcano I've never sold a game but I'd like to think they'll be antiques in 50 years or so and it would be nice if they're worth some money. And I too buy games to play them as I've already said, the second copy or more are kept sealed to hopefully keep its value.
@Videocookies These sales are coming from the game being less than half price in the shops. The game was discounted by 33% on the European and US eShop at Christmas but that's over. You can buy cheap digital codes from the link below:
@SBandy Have I missed your comment on the story or do you just want to whinge? Just because I see the news before most doesn't mean everyone should miss out.
All the other Nintendo sites post them on Monday morning every week. They don't say to themselves, "you know, I'm not going to post the charts this week because I don't like how Nintendo are doing". They take the good with the bad.
@JaxxDuffer It's not just monetary but I don't want to see my collection of games being devalued. I bought several versions of games on Wii U, one to open and play, the others to keep for Collector's purposes as Wii U was such a niche console. Now Nintendo are finding another way of annoying those loyal fans who stood by them.
@StormtheFrontier Kingdom Come: Deliverance did reach #1 in the Individual Chart and if not for FIFA 18 being less than half price right now on Switch it would be #1 in the All Formats chart too. It also prevented Bayonetta 2 from reaching #2 in the Individual Charts. It threw a right spanner in the charts.
Bayonetta 2 placed at #3 and at #5 in the UK Individual and All Formats Charts respectively. That's a great debut. There's a few things to take into consideration though. It was the only notable new entry besides Kingdom Come: Deliverance. Also, FIFA 18 prevented it from debuting one place higher because the game is on sale at less than half price. The game took top spot in the All Formats chart helped by the Switch version that reappeared for the first time since its debut to sit at the lofty position of #9 in the Individual Charts. There was no delay in posting the charts this week, I wonder why.
@Grumblevolcano Enough already with the ports. It's not just that they're ports but they devalue the Wii U versions. The Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Fortissimo Edition cost a lot of money, still does. If a Switch version is announced that will reduce its value. You only need look at what the other ports has done to the price of Wii U games.
Can anyone spot the Red Herring in the poll? It shouldn't be there but instead counted as a "Something else!" vote. I may play Jotun: Valhalla Edition but I've a backlog of games that would last decades already, that I should be playing some of my older purchases first.
Isn't that kind of a regressive step? The more characters the better, it's not like Sonic has a huge roster to choose from on its own either.
The same goes for Mario Kart. Metal Mario, Baby Mario, Dry Bowser, Pink Gold Peach and others. I don't know if Nintendo should just expand Mario Kart into like Smah Bros. with all different Nintendo characters and courses. Sure it started as Mario Kart but had Smash been around on the SNES it could have been different and maybe known as Super Mario Smash Bros. Putting more variety in Mario Kart 8 with more Nintendo characters and courses from their respective worlds made it better, well it definitely didn't make it worse.
Absolutely brilliant game. Everyone should buy it. I bought it on the Wii U for €3 during a Wii U sale, I'd no real idea what it was but it was only €3 so thought why not and I'd heard positive things about it. I was blown away. Best €3 I've ever spent on a game and if I'd known how good it was I would have gladly paid more. I can't sing this game's praises enough. Some people will look at the little yellow bird and dismiss it as some childish game. Wrong! This is a serious puzzle game that will test your grey matter. 10/10
Sorry, I meant to post this in my first comment yesterday but forgot. How? So we're all in agreement that Fat Dragons for Wii U is "Game of the Week" and a strong contender already for GOTM.
This game is going to be $40. They should be charging $60 especially because they've done some work and are remastering it. If a certain other major company were publishing it you can be guaranteed it would be.
Eurogamer don't give scores but if they did, it reads like a 5/10.
Polygon's review is in-progress but they love it.
A couple of things I've noted is it's incredibly short, 3 hours about(Eurogamer: "things do start to come together in the third of Fe's paltry three hours." IGN said the same: "Fe is pretty short as well – it only took me about three hours to complete. After beating the story, the map opens up and you can see how many collectibles you’ve missed in each area. It would likely only take me another couple hours to get everything Fe has to offer, but I’m not left wanting to."). And NWR "can't stress enough that playing in front of a big HD TV is worth making the time for." Platforming doesn't seem precise from several reviews.
I think the game looks really nice. If you didn't know Zoink! Games made this, you'd do well to guess it. It looks very different from what I associate them with.
@maruse OMG! How can you not understand this? It's not free, Nintendo have factored the cost of Bayonetta into the price of the physical copy of Bayonetta 2. Look at my comment #46. I can't believe I'm having this futile discussion. I'm done.

There’s a ton to do, too. After puzzle-solving your way to five Ancient Frogs and saving the island from a strange pollution, you can still find 100s of golden wings, snap dozens of creature pictures and go Achievement hunting."
I've already bought Jotun Valhalla Edition from the discounts available today on the Wii U eShop.
Toki Tori 2+ game should be a mandatory purchase for anyone who has never played it before, it' s an amazing game. I bought it on Wii U for around €2 I think when it was on sale. Pound for pound it's probably one of the best purchases I've ever made in terms of value. Easily one of my favourite games, its cute presentation is deceptive as it's an ingenious game with its puzzles.
Owlboy looks beautiful too and the music from its launch trailer is absolutely stunning.
@dew12333 No, I'll reserve final judgement but they're not for me and they're not aimed at me. I just meant they sold cardboard then and may have thought how else can we sell people cardboard. Or the Splatoon 2 cardboard boxes could have been a little internal marketing test.

When Nintendo sold empty Splatoon 2 Switch console cardboard boxes they knew they could sell practically anything to hardcore fans. As you see this morning they're now selling masking tape as well. Next they'll be selling toilet paper.
It's Capcom, they're infamous for milking a profit. I said this could happen when the Collection was first announced. They've especially been bad to Nintendo fans, while other consoles got collections, Capcom would sell their VC games individually on the Nintendo eShop.
