[@Kazpper88]

BeatEmUps - I'VE NEVER PLAYED ANY OF THESE GAMES EXCEPT DOOM.

[@patdav56]

BeatEmUps you see... My problem isn't that its a Wii u port.... Its that this is the 3rd port of the game in the 4 years since the original release

[@Mugi3840]

BeatEmUps actually you're not sick of it, you're just trying to make vids for that nice check... I see you buddy :]

[@porkhill6665]

BeatEmUps then why did you buy them? lol this man

[@carsonshane4102]

If you don’t want to review Wii U port or buy one, just don’t do it.

[@jasonvero]

Most people didn't have a WiiU, which is why it failed. So for those of us (most of us) that never played these games, it's a win. And I'm sure sales are good, or Nintendo wouldn't even bother.

[@shawnmcmillan4438]

Never owned a Wii u so all these ports don't actually bother me

[@robertwilson8042]

Shawn McMillan that my good sir is the point of the ports

[@danielmcdonald8509]

Same.

[@Alex-xz2bz]

Same

[@MP-nq9ht]

+Robert Wilson Yeah, but its also a pretty big slap in the face to people who actually invested in the wii-u and these games, and then suddenly all of these rereleases come out on the switch, many of which havingmore content than their wii-u counterparts. I’m not saying there shouldn’t be any ports of wii-u games on the switch, I’m jsut saying nintendo shouldn’t overdo it with them. (Seriously, captain toad for switch? Yeah, its a pretty good game, but, really? Did anyone ask for that?)

[@RockyD12]

Same

[@Spika94]

Ports are good, especially in this case because not a lot of people got the Wii U, and for good reason. Giving people a chance to play these games are always a good thing.

[@pedrohgbruno]

Spikà So.... in order to please those who abandoned nintendo in their worst, nintendo fucks those who supported them during difficult times, already played those games and boughta switch for NEW experiences? Yeah... makes total sense...

[@Spika94]

Pedro Bruno, People didn't abandon them, they just went for the 3DS line of games.

[@DorienTheHeroOfTheArts]

So the abandonment applies to people that couldn't afford a Wii U? So people who couldn't get a Wii U is abandoning Nintendo in their worst?

[@mohangrewal1466]

Dorien The Hero of the Arts If you couldn't afford a Wii U how could you afford the switch?

[@DorienTheHeroOfTheArts]

Have you heard of saving money?

[@likethepear]

I want more ports. I didn’t own a WiiU so keep ‘em comin’! YEE HAW!

[@thisandthatmatt6937]

likethepear exactly! These are basically new games for most Switch owners.

[@unlocc570]

likethepear I own a wii u but i didn't buy much games on it so i didn't play most of these ports

[@IAmPeterCole]

Same

[@victorpelayo7717]

Yes your right I want paper mario color splash

[@purplewhitejade9390]

Same, never owned a Wii U!

[@MrJobocan]

Wii U ports aren't for you, or me. They're for the majority of gamers who didn't actually have a Wii U. That's a LOT of people who didn't play those games. Almost all these Wii U ports are absolutely must buys for anyone who didn't buy them before. Having to say that over and over again is pretty annoying though. I get that, I've just not been reviewing them on my personal blog because... I already did. Years ago.

[@Nathando64]

MrJobocan I have a wii u, and I have already bought games again on the switch.

[@ShouldOfStudiedForTheTest]

COOLMCDEN 219 For example, MK8's sales more than doubled in just one year compared to the 3 (4) years of the MK8 WiiU life span.

[@shemailgoondall9531]

MrJobocan Switch has pretty good original titles mario odyssey, doom, splatoon 2. And zelda breath of the wild , let's be real, is a port. It was in development well before switch (nx) was anounced. The games are indistinguishable. This is similar to zelda twig light princess. Twilight was developed for gamecube, and release delayed months for wii. Again both versions are indistinguishable. Going down, mario kart 8, Yoshi wooly, Hyrule warriors, donkey Kong, captain toad, mario tennis ultra, Bayonetta 2. Nintendo is milking it. after I bought the switch last year, I then bought wii u so I could buy and play these games. Now Nintendo getting smart, re release old console games make more money

[@MrValgard]

no no no we still don't have most important port - Xenoblade X

[@zionich]

MrValgard I would love that and Tokyo Mirage Sessions

[@unlocc570]

MrValgard Don't forget Wind Waker HD, Twilight Princess HD and Mario Maker

[@MrValgard]

ye wind waker and princess will be nice, but xeno x was system seller if it come out will be no point to own wii u :D

[@Evil_Chronic]

MrValgard would also love all 3 Xenosagas ported over.

[@MineNAdventurer]

MrValgard Just have Nintendo of Europe localize them, or get rid of the censorship

[@TylerAldrich]

The WiiU is like that indie band that had really good songs only a small audience heard. Now they are mainstream and re-releasing more polished versions of those great songs that would have been #1 hits. I feel like the WiiU community is starting get that “we heard them first” mentality and don’t care that the masses missed out on a lot of great stuff. These ports are new to the mainstream but a lot of reviews are being based on how it stacks up to the original. Personally, I’m not going out and buying a WiiU to find out so a good approach would be reviewing these games not as how it is as a port but how it is as a game. That will help with the redundancy and help keep the reviews fresh.

[@DjokovicIsOurLordAndSaviour]

Yeah, I agree. Maybe make the assumption that since I didn't own a Wii U, I didn't bother watching reviews for their games.

[@dontegraves5051]

Ignorance is bliss to you all then. A port is a port. There's no masking that, for better or worse.

[@Nico-vr9qi]

i want zelda wind waker for switch

[@TetraEzio]

Rèngár same here one of the best zelda games

[@adventureplays6666]

Yes thats need to happen

[@caspervnm27]

Same. I have never had a chance to play it.

[@LenzTheMenz]

I honest have no idea why that and twilight Princess wouldn't be their first ports.

[@DatGameCollector]

The full price is what kills me and is why im not buying it.

[@luiscanamarvega]

DatGameCollector I’d be pissed if this game sold millions upon millions of copies on a successful console. But truth is, they probably didn’t make much money out of it when they released it on the WiiU. I think of this as a definitive release and that’s why I don’t mind the price tag.

[@takki3942]

they didn't make much money off of it so the full price is perfectly justified. also these are DEFINITIVE releases making it so that all the dlc and even some new content.

[@drifloons]

he talked about this in the donkey kong video

[@spice_krispies]

People didnt mind paying for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, but everything else is a price issue?!?! That makes no sense at all, considering MK8 was like the best selling game on the Wii U to begin with. And for the millionth time, the Wii U sold about 13 million systems and the games DID NOT SELL THAT WELL overall. For example, Donkey Kong Tropcal Freeze only sold 1.7 million copies, which is NOTHING in the scope of a system that was out 5-6 years. Thats why its justified on the Switch, especially with more content. People need to wake up and educate themselves on what they are casually arguing over. If you have a problem with ports and prices of games you already owned, then dont buy it. But don't cry and make it an issue for those who it is new to. Simple as that....

[@papermario6856]

Retro Nerd thank you

[@freak0n182]

Listen mate, you and the other 14 people who bought a wii u can stay mad. I'm keen to try these games out i would have never gotten otherwise.

[@brucemcfarling7810]

matt sweatgast: When you are answering someone other than beatemups, maybe tag who? You are not replying to beatemups, obviously, because HE said what he ALWAYS says about Wii U ports and it's NEVER that he's mad about the port.

[@danielmcdonald8509]

Agreed

[@Rat_the_Renegade]

I have a Wii U and I'm glad these ports are coming. Glad more people get to experience the great games the Wii U had to offer. Two titles that still need to come are Xenoblade Chronicles X and Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate. I won't buy many of them as I already played the,. bought Hyrule Warriors again because I missed the Legends and DLC content before. And I'm having a blast replaying the game too.

[@AvgWaterEnjoyer03]

pecobro 64 I agree. I had a Wii U and some of these games, such as Hyrule Warriors and Captain Toad, I never had time to buy them. The reason why is because I got my Wii U in 2015 and not even a year later the Switch was revealed

[@Rat_the_Renegade]

I'm considering getting Captain Toad again as its a very fun game I'd love to replay and it has new Mario Odyssey levels too.

[@RasLion]

Funny how all the people that were bashing the WII U because it had no games, crappy games... are now the ones praising its ports on Switch (WII U port(able) system), just saying.

[@AlvinEarthworm]

The games were great. It was the console itself that was the problem. Terrible third party support. Underpowered hardware. Abysmal marketing and a gimmick (Game pad) that was never utilized in any worthwhile manner. (Besides Mario Maker, but that's the only exception).

[@callinater6133]

Mark Haynes yeah. Imagine if the wii u was released in 2006 rather than the wii. That would’ve put Nintendo on the map with hardcore gamers and casual gamers alike.

[@TheImprintsIllusion]

Callinater no, because the marketing would still be hot garbage. And Nintendo's own utilization of the hardware would've been just as bad. Probably would've sold like an n64 or GameCube, but would've been one of the most confusing systems still.

[@deihnyx]

Hyrule Warriors on Switch is one of these ports that are totally worth getting. Not just because of the framerate but all the additions from Legends. In comparison Donkey Kong Country doesn't add much. Look at "GamesBrained" videos on Hyrule Warriors to learn just how much has changed.

[@seacliff217]

I know man. Even as an owner of the Wii U version and the first season pass, the new content is overwhelming. All the content on the Wii U version, all the content of the Wii U version's season pass, all the content of legends, and all the content of legends season pass... And each piece of DLC alone had hours of content. This is the most justifiable Wii U port because it's actually an enhanced 3DS port.

[@FireSonicYT]

yeah, and if you didn't buy the dlc, then it is even better. the 3ds version played kinda terrible to begin with, so having that content on the better system is nice.

[@alexchavez7514]

I bought HW the first day it came out on Wii U. I felt it was worth the $60, but I never got any of the DLC. I became more pissed when I found out that Legends was coming out, and, if I recall correctly, the only way to get the HW Legends characters on Wii U was to buy the 3DS and then transfer them over. I was not going to buy a version of the that had more content but worse framerate/graphics, and it could only run well on a New 3ds (I only had a regular 3DS). Fast forward to the announcement of the HW on Switch. This version, for $60 dollars, gets you slightly better framerate/graphics than the Wii U, all the DLC, and all the content from Legends. In my opinion, this is the best Wii U port. After I saw this announcement, I immediately sold my HW on Wii U for about $20, so I'm only paying about $40 dollars extra for an enhanced port with everything I wanted.

[@FireSonicYT]

Alex Chavez i believe the legends characters were also part of a dlc pack on wii u as well, so you didn't need to buy legends to get them on wii u. but probably best you didn't get them, still.

[@alexchavez7514]

Yeah, after researching (AKA googling for about 5 minutes) I see what you mean. However, from what I can tell it looks like it was just the characters only. The 3DS had all the extra features like the adventure maps, stories, my fairy, etc. In a way, even if I had purchased all the characters, the Wii U would still be the "inferior" version in terms of content.

[@likethepear]

By the way, the cat should be in more of your videos.

[@MineNAdventurer]

likethepear Cats always make video game videos better, especially when half way through the video they want a belly run, to be hugged or fed and they just meow in the background.

[@johnbakasmoothhotchocolate]

This is like Nintendo is telling us that buying a Wii U was pointless, basically.

[@markellhawthorne2921]

John B aka Smooth Chocolate It kinda was.

[@johnbakasmoothhotchocolate]

Markell Hawthorne I mean, I don't mind buying the games because the games are fantastic. But I just wish the Switch had have come back in 2012, but what could we do.

[@brucemcfarling7810]

John B aka Smooth Chocolate: "The Wii U. It's like a five year ticket to a dress rehearsal for our next system." The defense of the Wii U I heard from beatemups and others is that it ended up having a great exclusive library. Nintendo seems to be agreeing with that.

[@Syntherus]

If Smash Switch is actually a new game, at the very least we'd have Smash 4.

[@Tjd3211Gaming]

Pretty much, they removed DK from the Wii u store in January but no one noticed

[@dynamicpenguin55]

I really don't get why it matters? Its not disrupting their new game scheduale, pokemon wont come any faster if we DONT get a hyrule warriors port? I'm really glad they're porting Wii u games and i hope they do more, if you're sick of them then stop supporting them maybe

[@lucifuru2390]

Dynamic Penguin You, you didn't watch the video. Please don't comment a video just after reading the title.

[@RAVAGE656]

I'm annoyed with these 1st party ports because it means we're not getting a sequel this console generation, because of nintendo's golden rule of "1 per console"

[@peateaxyz1]

RAVAGE656 aren’t they planning to release a Zelda game like every year so I don’t think that golden rule still applies

[@IAmPeterCole]

Actually, it was Mario Kart first. 😂 love you Wood haha

[@shantaehalf-geniehero4318]

IAmPeterCole actually breath of the wild was, that was a Wii U game first before a port to the switch

[@IAmPeterCole]

Luigipokemaster 1 it was not a port, they released at the same time.

[@assassincharmander390]

IAmPeterCole still a port they just released at the same time

[@IAmPeterCole]

Assassin Charmander no it was not? Do you have any idea what a port is? If a game was developed for both and released for both at the same time, it’s just a game on two systems.

[@unlocc570]

IAmPeterCole yeah I hate when people call Botw a port when its actually a dual release

[@JP-zb3yb]

I'm sick of ports but a Xenoblade X port woould be an instant rebuy for me. Being able to play that anywhere I go would be awesome.

[@ziifly]

I honestly love ports. Especially on the Switch, for portability, a fresh start, and the controls are so much better and more comfortable than the horrendous gamepad on WiiU.

[@NoniTinystorm]

So. I want the Zelda's (wind waker, twilight princess etc.). I think it's reasonable that you do not review the re releases unless Nintendo is literally asking you to by giving you a review copy.

[@unlocc570]

Amelia Horswill Yeah i also hope they make an Ocarina of Time HD, Majora's Mask HD and a Skyward Sword HD

[@NoniTinystorm]

Yes, I could buy each of those a 3rd time too :)

[@tarto2015]

I didnt own a wii u, so im looking for MORE ports

[@Theodore_R1]

I want all good game from wiiu

[@Syntherus]

Hyrule Warriors was the port I wanted most. I put a hellava lot of hours in the Wii U version. Solo play had the occasional frame drop but co-op was unplayable. I eventually hit the point where I kind of needed a second player to beat some of the adventure mode maps but with an average of 20 or less fps and a whole 5-10 enemies on screen at any given time it became way less effective to play in co-op when in theory it should have made things much easier. So between the superior frame rate and the Legends content that I have not played, it's like playing the game for the first time. This time I'll complete everything.

[@berrystapp9450]

I want Zelda Twilight Princess! Nobody will change my opinion.

[@johnsullivan186]

Berry Stapp Wind waker > twilight

[@weisburgh]

As a Wii U owner and a switch owner it’s very disappointing that Nintendo can’t create more AAA titles for the switch independent of Wii U ports

[@mattskirble6845]

Hey Wood what do you think of Hideki Kamiya teasing The Wonderful 101 for switch on twitter. I think if any game deserving of a port it wonderful 101 it was a Wii u at a point where the Wii u was already Considered dead and is one of Platinum games best and most underrated release

[@josephpiedmonte]

Being a first time player of it, I really enjoy it. There is so much content, I feel like I'm making a lot of progress on the first adventure map and it's only 11% completed. I feel like it's the type of game I'll keep coming back to, to pick up and play randomly and not something I'll devote all of my attention to like BOTW, Stardew, etc. Definitely a great buy if you've never played it.

[@shanen1078]

As an Australian fan, can you do a super straya shirt, like your face on a VB can smoking some Winnie blues with a southern cross tattoo or something? I'd Buy 10.. or probably just 1 which would be sensible.

[@bENOFFICIALMASSIVE]

Sha Nen Hey I'm aussie too! I second that notion Woody! Bloody fukn doooooit maaaate!!!

[@shanen1078]

Garn servo

[@Estariol87]

I never had a Wii U so I don't mind the ports :P To be honest I have actually double dipped on quite a few games I already owned on the PC....for example Doom, Skyrim, Darkest Dungeon, Rocket League and others... I just love the portable aspect of the Switch.... As far as ports are concerned there are actually three in particular I would absolutely love to see, but I don't think we will... 1. The Legend of Zelda: Twillight Princess HD - I absolutely loved it on the wii and would like to play it again 2. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword - Same as above 3. The Legend of Zelda: Windwaker - One of the few Zelda games that I never got the chance to play....

[@jakequaza3567]

So many of us never had a wii u so ports are great.

[@alexandermilner4248]

I don't mind them at all, I'd be happy with them all being available. It's a virtual console I want. I want all the NES, Snes, N64, GC and the odd Wii game that I previously paid for more than most of these.

[@ruadeil_zabelin]

I want more ports. It's a great thing that nintendo ports them. Barely anybody bought that failed console which was wii u... so to most it's a new game.

[@ruadeil_zabelin]

I'd love to have mario maker

[@shantaehalf-geniehero4318]

Kayak Fan Mario maker isn’t happening

[@ruadeil_zabelin]

Yea probably not. Though it's a massive waste. They spend quite some time on it, but a lot of people will never see it (other than on youtube) because barely anybody bought the wii-u. While it would be quite an easy straightforward port.

[@iKilLaMoDz]

I want more ports just wish they didn't charge the same fucking amount for them.

[@ruadeil_zabelin]

Ooh! Yes! I'd love that too. Also Ocarina with a more modern control scheme.

[@jub5386]

Still waiting on skyward sword

[@sharp937]

Complaining about Wii U ports? Dont they have like 7 games that are good anyways. I hope they go out of control and port windwaker HD too lol

[@dekuscrub2472]

Yesss

[@mediaman9719]

I’m really enjoying these ports. Didn’t get much into the Wii U. Love the idea of taking a lot of these games on the go. Really enjoying Dy..I mean Hyrule Warriors.

[@chrisdodd4014]

I bought a Wii U and supported it despite everything. Nintendo wanting me to buy these games again feels like a kick in the balls every time. I'm glad they're able to reach a broader audience, but it's almost like people who have or had a Wii U are getting shafted in favor of people who just jumped on board for the Switch. There weren't many games I didn't buy on Wii U in terms of Nintendo exclusives. So far Bayonetta 2 is the only port that's come out that I didn't already own. Ports are all right but I think Nintendo needs to make more effort to space them out with new games.

[@obba40]

Chris Dodd how is Nintendo wanting you to buy These games again? If you have them already Dont buy them again.

[@chrisdodd4014]

I'm not, but I'd like something new to play on Switch too. Not saying stop the ports, just put something new in between them more often.

[@lemobyte3235]

Chris Dodd you do realise that removing ports won’t speed up development of new games.

[@chrisdodd4014]

Who said anything about removing or doing away with ports? All I said is give people something new more often and port a little less. Space them out more. While I feel like I'm being left in the cold because I've nothing new to play on my Switch other than indie titles, I don't think ports are a bad thing. I don't have to like them, I don't have to defend Nintendo padding their library with them. Quality new games will always be better and for the system overall than a bunch of ports form a generation ago.

[@lemobyte3235]

Chris Dodd do you want rushed games in quantity or do you want quality games.

[@Wertys]

5:29 gold skaleetas

[@legendofhayden]

then don’t buy them. They are porting them because they sell incredibly well for the most part

[@zakeanbeuchat535]

I'm okay with the ports. I'm just sick of hearing people complain about them. As for Hyrule Warriors, I feel it's slightly different in the "should I buy it again" category. If you bought the Wii U version -- especially if you never bought the DLC -- and enjoyed it enough you'd like to play through it again, I think it's worth it. However, if you bought it on Wii U and 3DS -- especially if you bought the DLC -- it's really up in the air. I personally bought the Wii U and 3DS versions but didn't buy the DLC. I probably shouldn't have bought it a 3rd time, but I love the game so much that I don't mind. Rationally speaking though, I shouldn't have bought it again. Yet, had I only purchased the base Wii U version, it's worth the full $60. There is so much more content in the Switch version compared to the base Wii U version plus you get it portable on a MUCH nicer screen with much nicer controls than the 3DS.

[@MapleSyrup666]

Saying Hyrule Warriors: DE is a port of the Wii U version is kinda false. It's more like this: Wii U vanilla Hyrule Warriors + Season Pass DLC + some free DLC (3 characters + 1 storyline) = Not even Hyrule Warriors Legends yet Not even Hyrule Warriors Legends yet + new game mechanics + another new free story + new characters = Hyrule Warriors Legends (the 3DS base game) Hyrule Warriors Legends + a second round of season pass = Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition Clearly, people should stop saying it's the Wii U port. It clearly ain't.

[@Chronoflation]

I find it funny that you did this video on this game considering this one has the most added value of any of the previous ports. Double frame rate, split screen co-op, all DLC, reworked adventure map rewards. This is the only one I'm not upset is full price considering all the added content. I got the DLC for the original, but never finished it. But, this time, I feel like doing all of it. I was upset that the 3DS content never made it to the Wii U, even as payable DLC, so I'm hype to play this now

[@SmashJT]

This was genuinely funny.

[@BonchurnoTheSpaceChowboy]

I see these types of games more like an action RTS than a standard hack and slash as there are so many different things to consider while playing such as controlling different characters to do different things on the battle field, meeting requirements to activate the golden skulltulas, then trying to locate them on the map and then trying to locate them before they run away. Not to mention the multiple fail scenarios that occur not only if you die, but if the wrong character flees the battle field or a keep falls. There's a lot to think about in this game and it can feel quite overwhelming sometimes if you don't strategize, especially if you've only got control of one character as the game does like to chuck multiple things at you at the same time on the battle field lol. I love this game as it is always keeping you on your toes. Sure it's perfect for short bursts but also for long play sessions once you really get in to it.

[@NeoDeity]

Oooo nooooo, these games are coming to the switch?? Oooo the humanity. Wait? Who owned a Wii U?? Nobody? Ok thx.

[@igofast6591]

FierceDeity word this vid is kind of dumb

[@literalmenteeu7217]

13 million people owned the Wii U.

[@johnsullivan186]

Raphael Alexandre more than twice that own a switch

[@ellenhall2581]

I own a wii u

[@MetallicxShadow]

As for someone who skipped wii u , I dont mind the wii u ports/enhanced editions. Gives games a second chance in life to reach a larger audience. Although for those who bought a wii u and owned them, just dont get it again.

[@Eweezy8004]

I think yo cat beat up your mic, Woods

[@Ponaru]

Im getting sick of ports...but Im going to continue to buy them. I have nothing new to say when reviewing them...but Im going to continue to review them... Wood, my man. Maybe you should get some help.

[@BitchChill]

Don't buy em

[@jawrsh]

i want super mario 3D world on switch!

[@vash_visionz]

Yes please!! That game is perfect for multiplayer, and the switch is built for that!

[@captaineusn]

Well guess what? It's coming this year

[@dhi_holo9341]

The ports are great for me, as there's a bunch of WiiU games I wish I could have owned, but I didn't own a WiiU as it was too much money for something that would sit on the tv unused for ages. With the Switch, I can play the games more often and the ports really help to give me more games I wanted. Mario Kart 8, Pokken Tournament, both games I wanted but couldn't get until their ports. Hyrule Warriors was something I got interested in after BotW, and I didn't feel like hunting around Australia for a 3DS version. Mario Maker on 3DS is pure garbage, so here's hoping for that. Same with Xenoblade Chronicles X. I keep hearing it's good, but it's on WiiU so I can't play it.

[@jasethomas1]

I actually think that even if you've played the Wii U version and liked it, you should still get this version. Primarily because of all the 3DS exclusive content that made it into the game. I've been loving it all over again, but I love finally being able to play through Linkle's Tale and I can't wait until I unlock all the Majora's Mask and Wind Waker characters that I never got to play with in the Wii U version. If you've played both Wii U and 3DS versions though, then it's up to you. I still recommend this game either way because it's so fun to play.

[@zionich]

Bring on all the ports !!!!!

[@LadyLunaNini88]

As someone who still has the original Wii, a 3DS XL, A 2DS, and never owned a Wii U; the ports don't bother me at all. I mean, it is understandable that most of the old games for the Wii U/Wii are being ported for the Switch, cause some of us never owned a Wii U/Wii. I like to see a few Wii U games be ported for the Switch in the future.

[@natsu4fairytailflame991]

Lel I am tbh sick of ports tho I just want more exlusives Be it fps to rpgs to sport games like racing to open world

[@shaneputnam6589]

I love that you mentioned Tokyo Mirage Sessions. That is one of the games that is currently holding me back from selling my Wii U right now.

[@scruber64_]

Pls give me WW HD and TP HD

[@neilelliott263]

You’re acting like you HAVE to play them again you don’t there’s no point buying a game you already have playing it and then criticising it because you’ve played it before

[@dhaynes325]

Tokyo Mirage please

[@azurlune1877]

DeAndre Haynes can I like something 6times!?

[@MrMain65]

It’s coming look on Amazon

[@ann-stigateproduction8531]

its good that they are making ports, cause more than half the switch userbase didnt buy a crappy wii U, because of the fact you couldn't take the gamepad with You wherever you went and played those wonderful games on the go Nintendo finally got their act together and are giving people what they want and that is Triple A games on the Go and its selling like hotcakes, if only sony learned their lesson and made another portable as well we could take a better uncharted on the go since there are great games that are only exclusive to sony that will unfortunately never find a place on switch, now if We could get batman arkham city port, a resident evil 4 port, Mario 3d land portzelda windwaker port cause i missed out on most games for wii u but id be willing to pay money to get them on switch granted they get released physically im not into digital games, any real gamer would love to proudly boast and show off their collection to People instead of showing them thin air. and years from now You couldn't play the game when the store gets taken away from the system after a new one takes its place which becomes a waste of money, so use Your heads people and go all out and buy physical that way if the system becomes broken down the line all You need is a new one and can just get out Your old physical games and play them without the hassel of downloading them for 50 hours.

[@nin10ja]

Whats a Wii U?

[@brucemcfarling7810]

Nin10ja: Not sure. A university where they studied Wii games, maybe?

[@JeffIsRadd]

Some sort of add on for the Wii, I think.

[@brucemcfarling7810]

Jeff Cardinal: Yeah, that makes more sense than a University. I think I remember it, it was a tablet add on that let you play your Wii games without using the TV?

[@brucemcfarling7810]

zeezo69x: A lot of 2014 couldn't figure out what it was either, that was part of the problem.

[@brucemcfarling7810]

zeezo69x: Though because of those ports, Switch owners are getting most of the cream of the Wii U library.

[@ireallyhavetopee2404]

What would be great is if they sold a Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD bundle for $60, or the option to buy either one individually for $30 each.

[@kingdingaling781]

I wish I didnt play all of these on Wii U already so I could experience them for the first time on Switch. Seems like Nintendo is kinda abandoning it's core audience with all of these ports.

[@MattMattMan]

They're not abandoning the core audience, what they are trying to do is to give some life to some great games that very few people actually bought and played. It also means that they bring in more revenue which means they can have brand new switch exclusives like Metroid Prime 4 and Pokemon with much bigger budgets.

[@stephenbrown2512]

It’s core audience, most of them didn’t own a wii u, I am happy with ports as a lot of people didn’t play them the first time.

[@kingdingaling781]

Matthew Lewis I have no problem with ports. But when that's all that's being released first party for months at a time, it's frustrating.

[@TylerAldrich]

s leach The WiiU did not bring in good revenue so they had to release the switch with a depleting audience and unsupportive developers that starting to believe Nintendo was dying. Now that the money is coming in and developers are bought into the system we are going to see a lot of new amazing games. The only problem is it takes time for quality games to be made and Nintendo didn’t really prove itself as a contender in the industry until last year.

[@MattMattMan]

That's fair enough, but hang in there. Hopefully the fact that they are taking long means that they are trying to perfect their NEW releases for us. They are also probably trying to get as much content as they can for a truly EPIC e3 presentation.

[@henkman00]

I'll never get this complaint. it's like being pissed for a blu ray release of a movie that already had a VHS release... then just play the game on your WiiU? or watch that movie on VHS? or... don't buy it?

[@iangrier3502]

I like theses ports because I didn’t have wii u

[@iKilLaMoDz]

ian grier You like buying an old game for the same price?

[@seacliff217]

It's a lot cheaper than buying a Wii U. Some like DK:TF can be gotten for cheap on the Wii U, but in the case of HW, it costs almost as much new, has none of the DLC, and is missing a lot of content.

[@iangrier3502]

I don’t mind buying the old games for £49 since I’ve never played them before I didn’t like the way the wii u looked so I don’t mind paying £49 to £60 for the games

[@Taker369]

[@shantaehalf-geniehero4318]

You forgot Zelda breath of the wild is a Wii U port :p

[@unlocc570]

Luigipokemaster 1 its a dual release :/

[@dysthymia4784]

Linkling - yes but when developing a game for more than one console devs *always* make with the console that has the lowest specs in mind so it still runs smoothly for it. BoTW *is* in fact a Wii U game ported to Switch. same goes for Persona 5 being a PS3 game ported to PS4.

[@brucemcfarling7810]

Dysth Ymia: But when it's a day and date release, it's a fundamentally different issue, since someone reviewing the Switch or PS4 version doesn't have to address whether to buy it if you've already finished it on the Wii U or PS3.

[@beardalmighty]

Skipped the Wii U. There was never enough on it to convince me to buy one. Seems I made the right call, since the creme de la creme all came to Switch anyway.

[@ericbazinga]

As someone who never got a Wii I despite wanting one and now have a Switch, I'm actually really happy about all the ports. I never got to play Hyrule Warriors on Wii U (And never got the 3DS version), so I'm absolutely picking this up on Switch.

[@ANIMEman0519]

Wonderful 101, Mario maker, Xenoblade X, Tokyo Mirage Sessions, and Wind Waker/ Twilight princess are all that’s left. Just a few more left, we’re almost out of the WiiU port woods.

[@gamer4lifewd]

With ports it comes down to each individual person, I'm fine with Wii U ports because I didn't have a Wii U, so these games are new to me. Though third party ports don't matter to me because I can usually get them sooner and sometimes cheaper on my PS4. As long as they put out a steady lineup of new games, no one will complain, but when your new games so far are Kirby Star Allies and Labo, third party games come out several months later at a higher price, and Virtual Console is non existent, it tends to stick out more, I hope E3 balances things out and makes for an exciting summer and fall/winter.

[@thedjrush]

Never had a WII U so I've already bought Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Bayonetta 2, Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze and Hyrule Warriors and they are all awesome!!! So many missed gems from the WII U era now I'm ready for Crash Bandicoot and Smash bros!

[@c1v1lwar24]

I’d like to see an exclusive lineup soon. Preferably featuring some new I.P.’s So much reliance on legacy software makes me concerned, not for immediate sales, I’m not a Nintendo shareholder, but as a gamer. I want some fresh games and ideas for this new console.

[@MohammedRedwan]

I really don't have a problem with ports as long as they are well done and games that seek my interest. Not to mention, I never owned the original Wii or Wii U. However, the full price for some of these games compared to the original on the Wii U store is just straight scummy of Nintendo. Many of these aren't even visually upgraded yet they'll go from 15$ on the Wii U to a full 60$ price on the Switch. That's pretty pathetic honestly, especially for Nintendo. The Switch also needs some good new third party support from the major franchises like Call of Duty or Grand Theft Auto. Kind of tired of the same Indie titles on the eShop. Nothing wrong with them but why would I pay full 15-40$ for indie games when they cost 1-5$ on my iPhone. Doesn't make sense.

[@a.g8969]

Dudeeeee that mashup was one of the funniest and most creative things I've seen on youtube.

[@jacklongman3907]

Having written a 4000 word long review for Hyrule Warriors Switch rereviewing it wasn't an issue. (I also reviewed on 3DS and Wii U)

[@redtrolly]

The issue is that there are far more Switch owners than Wii U owners. So these are essentially new games for quite a lot of people. While you may be "getting sick of ports", a bunch of people are playing these games (usually with all the DLC) for the very first time. There's also the people that did own a Wii U, but never bought the game when it released on Wii U. These ports are essentially new games for them, too. The same thing is happening with eShop games, too. A good chunk of Steam games are coming to Switch, but there's nobody complaining about that from what I can see. In fact, people are doing the opposite. They're praising these ports because now people who don't game on a PC can play them.

[@Walla__]

I honestly like the sense of humor you showcased with the skit where you replaced tropical freeze with Hyrule warriors this was a really entertaining review I'm definitely going to sub

[@Nelsathis]

Im pretty sure it is actually better playable than the wii-u thing. Its not just looks and shadows, the wii-u just could not handle the gameplay a lot of times when you played in coop. Try to do a mission in which you have to kill 1000 enemies in 5 minutes or so, when the game, in order to run at even 30 frames, hasnt even displayed all enemies. You kept running into situations where you killed all enemies of 1 area, thought yourself ''oh, there are still a lot of red spots in this castle'' just to run there and find... nothing, nothing at all. They started spawning as the other guy killed his enemies. So as someone who HAS played it (even excessively, we tried to get gold ranks at every single fight, even the bonus maps) i am considering buying it again, just to.. actually play the game as its meant.

[@Brobore]

I owned a Wii U for about a month, then sold it, only ever played Twilight Princess, Mario Kart 8, and 3D World. So I’m fine with these ports. I actually just bought this game. Still getting through the story

[@alexandreprrn]

That was hilarious! I'm down with ports and I'll buy the ones I didn't have on the WiiU, but conceptually, paying that high of a price on an "old" game that's mostly just been ported sort of bugs me...

[@DrMadd]

I’d argue Hyrule Warriors is a FAR better investment than Tropical Freeze. Warriors comes with all the DLC maps, extra stories and at least 5 new characters.

[@Klatubarada1979]

Not me. I want more, particularly the Zelda HD remakes.

[@schowd31]

I don't mind the ports, and I'm glad I kept the Wii U games I wanted like Hyrule Warriors and Bayonetta 1 (not playing it for a 3rd time on a different system) and 2. But what really annoys me is that they add extra content that was not available on Wii u and only on Switch such as Funky Kong for DK Tropical Freeze or the Breath of the wild costume in Warriors. I was just glad I didn't buy Pokken for Wii u yet and get the Switch version later. But one wii u game I decided to sell and get the Switch version was Mario Kart 8 all because of the extra characters and stages.

[@giorgosdrk2397]

I came here just to ask "ain't you tired, miss Hilly?" but props to you for owning it, that c&p part from older videos was really funny. Besides Bayonetta, the only ports I ever wanted are Xenoblade X and Tokyo Mirrage Sessions, so more waiting it is for me.

[@anthonyortloff8346]

Leme start by saying it's cool how the big systems are trying to keep their old popular titles ported over so you can have most of your library on one console, I was just hoping the switch would get the virtual console for that reason. The only thing better would be putting all consoles together and letting us have our librarys from play station, Xbox and Nintendo, all on one console~ And giving me Conker's bad fur day! Oh, thought this was live, bummer x) DO MORE LIVE STREAMS~~

[@RedMage8BT]

Don't mind them. As a Wii U owner I enjoy the tacit admission by Switch owners that the Wii U actually did have a fantastic library like I've known the whole time.

[@MrPFMneto]

1 - ports don't take that much time or money to be done; 2 - it's the easiest way to recover the money the devs/publishers invested on the Wiiu fiasco 3 - the great majority of switch owners didn't have a Wiiu at all and are keen to play the games they missed there 4 - It doesn't prevent studios from developing totally new and innovative games for the switch. Wait for E3. 5 - I want DBZ FighterZ on the switch, even If that is not a Wiiu port. 6 - It keeps the money rolling, which is good. The companies will get wealthier and invest more on the switch. In this case, it's a win-win. The downside is pricing. But a great part of the consumers are ok with that. Check how much DKTropical Freeze is selling recently.

[@toxzii7212]

Xenoblade X, Zelda Windwaker, Tokyo Mirage Sessions, and Super Mario Maker. All these Wii U ports on the switch would be amazing.

[@Linkman247]

My issue with many of them is the price. I understand they are trying to capitalize on the now larger install base than the WiiU ever had and there are people who never played these games. I get that. But I do think Tropical Freeze is over priced when it's $10 more than what it launched at on WiiU, the only appreciable addition being funky kong which makes it feel like you are paying $10 for an easy mode. With other WiiU ports? It at least feels like enough was added to justify the $60 price tag. Even Bayonetta 2 while largely the same still is a good package/value overall with two games for $60. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe added battle mode and the inklings. Hyrule Warriors takes content and tweaks from the 3DS version and incorporates them into the Switch version along with sharper textures and an increase in resolution and framerate. It also features two new costumes/skins for Zelda and Link. Also bear in mind that the only way you could have played as Linkle, Skull Kid, Toon Link, Tetra and King Daphnes in the WiiU version is by using a download code that came with Hyrule Warriors Legends. So in essence you needed both the WiiU and 3DS version to have all the characters. Furthermore the Switch version sees the gameplay tweaks that were introduced in Legends and later Fire Emblem Warriors added. It's a lot easier to manage the battlefield as a result. The changes on paper may not seem like much, but they are far more extensive than what you get in DKC:TF.

[@camerondekruif7479]

I could not agree with you more! Well said.

[@callinater6133]

Linkman247 ‘many of them’ >only complains about TF and says others were justified Way to make a mountain out of a molehill, buddy

[@Linkman247]

Callinater remember that tropical freeze originally launched for $50 not 60 as the others have. Again ports like mk8, etc at least added new stuff like battle mode and 2 new characters. Tropical freeze again is charging you $10 for an easy mode, something found in other games by default.

[@RetroGore91]

Considering that most people didn’t have a Wii U, including me, I WANT all these ports and I hope they bring more over. There were a lot of great games that so many people never played and I’d rather play them on the switch.

[@Taskun56]

Something that I find weird about this game... As an American living in Scotland for reasons, the price tag on the UK version of the game is only £40. That makes it cheaper for me to buy here than to buy in the US. The same can be said if you just buy the game on the digital store using your multiple account access capabilities on the Switch. Not many reasons to buy the physical US version of the game if you know you'd keep it when you can spend a bit less to get it on the UK store. What is Nintendo's logic there?

[@kaidose]

3 years later and I'm still paying that full 60 dollar price tag for this game. Never played a dynasty game before so bonus

[@cczar1918]

I have a Wii U but the few games I didn't pick up are being ported to the Switch so... yeah if I don't own it on the Wii U, I'm just gonna pick it up for the Switch (Looking at you Captain Toad!)

[@jonablas6300]

I never owned a wii u so the ports of the wii u for me are like new games

[@DryBones271]

Consering the Wii U didn't sell that well, but had AMAZING games, it doesn't surprise me.... and remember each game has changes done to it...

[@Kodabonesies]

as someone who didn’t own a Wii U (and there’s a lot of us) I don’t mind ports of games I’ve never played.

[@Caleb_Bravo99]

I'm a Wii U owner and since the Switch launched, I have been bored almost the entire time with the system. The only games that excited me was Splatoon 2 and Mario Odyssey, even then it didn't last long because there wasn't much to look forward to.

[@KeloRogue]

You're so creative keep up the good work! Also loved the stream of this the other night!

[@brownstone4255]

As one of the loyal Nintendo fans who actually owned the Wii U and most of its big titles, I'm getting sick of them. Everybody is going on about how Nintendo no longer has any droughts, and how every single month a new big title is coming, but that really just puts a giant middle finger to the nintendo fans. We still have to wait months between releases yet now noone is complaining so Nintendo is never going to change it. And I know they have some added content, but that does not make it worth full price. The few third party games sure help but 90% of them are ports as well. The only actual way to fill gaps between new releases is indiegames, wich aren't really woth the time or money most of the time.

[@lehran2516]

I'm surprised we haven't heard anything about woolly world yet. It would be cool if it was just included with the new Yoshi game.

[@DarkKnightofHeaven]

The ports are mainly for those who didn't own a Wii U (most people) so they're profitable and allow Nintendo to fill up space while they develop more games for the switch. Nintendo hit most of its new titles for the switch last year with Zelda, Splatoon, Arms, and Mario coming out. Pokemon still needs development time (unless rumors of a pokemon yellow remake are true), and Smash can't come out till the holidays. Metroid will probably be next year at the earliest as well. We still don't know about Fire Emblem, Animal crossing, Pikmin, and star fox.
