[@Ray_2112]

"Wii U has no games" they said for years...now they want all those. -.- They just jumped on the "popular opinion" being the Wii U is a flop and ignored those games. The Switch would be only half as good without all those Wii U games.

[@theTwiKing]

I'd just flip 1 and 2 around. Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition really fixes the major issues I had with both the Wii U and 3DS versions - Using just one character on Wii U which when doing missions that involve having to be in a couple different places at once just felt impossible especially for a big map. I like how I can use multiple characters on Switch, guide ones I'm not using to certain locations while controlling a primary character, switch over to the secondary character when they arrive and get their task done. Really speeds things up that way. - Adventure mode maps on 3DS looked so ugly being zoomed in, you couldn't see the WHOLE MAP. Glad I finally got to see how it really looked with the Switch version.

Ports might get a bad rep for seemingly being just a lazy copy/paste, but for me it mostly depends on the quality of the port itself. And a majority of these definitely are great ones worth copping, especially if you haven’t played the WiiU originals (which was plenty of people, considering how much it underperformed.) My personal favorites are Super Mario 3D World+Bowser’s Fury and Pikmin 3 Deluxe due to not just being a simple port, but adding both notable new content *and* quality of life additions that improve the original game as well. Speaking of such, I’m a bit disappointed that you didn’t mention said QoL improvements, since being able to auto-lock onto enemies and make all Pikmin charge forward with just the tap of a button makes the gameplay far snappier than the WiiU original, motion controls or not. I honestly kinda find that complaint more of a nitpick since sure, they’re great, but they also boil down to nothing but a personal preference since the button controls work entirely fine. Especially due to the aforementioned auto-lock. Shoutout does to Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition too for being…well, the definitive version of the game due to basically having the visuals of the WiiU version with all the 3DS version’s QoL tweaks/new content *and* all the DLC released for the game. So it’s insanely good value!

I tend to forget that TMS Encore exists. Mostly because I was extremely disappointed that not only they kept the censorship from the western version, but also applied to all versions, I was considering getting an Asia version if it had the original content but that single lazy decision (they used the American version because that was the most up-to-date version in terms of performance and optimization) pretty much guaranteed that I'll never play this game.

Twilight Princess & Wind Waker

[@Zachruff]

no mention of the price of DKCTF? Edit: or Captain Toad? CT is one of my favourite games but its pretty bad that just the base switch version cost more than the wii u one at launch, AND then you have to pay extra for the DLC. If the DLC was all free or part of the game at launch then I wouldn't mind the extra price as much but ehhhh

[@Ray_2112]

Not everybody is judging everything by price. They compared the versions and its content, not Nintendo's price policy.

[@limeknight74]

Hyrule warriors definitive edition would be my number one. I’ve sunk 300+ hours into that game.

[@elwinroyale]

2:43 pretty sure you can also just use ZR

[@GomerJ]

Even if Hyrule Warriors didn’t integrate the 3DS content it would still be a superior version simply due to the fact that all the DLC is still full price on Wii U, and would cost 52.99 if you save by getting the bundles. The Wii U version sells used around $8, so you still end up at $60 for less content and missing QoL upgrades.

Next do a Wii to switch port video 🤩

[@warrenbadze]

Including those not ported by Nintendo

[@Ray_2112]

there aren't really many, are there?

[@railerswim]

But I still want some new MK8 dlc or a new mariokart game in general.

[@robertpadua6096]

It means you played all content and ran out of content. You need more content.

[@railerswim]

@@robertpadua6096 yes I am aware of that. What I said is more specific than saying I want new content.

[@manojlds]

How Tokyo Mirage rank higher than DK? Even by all that you said for the port.

[@TheJimFear]

I had no idea The Wondeful 101 was on switch!

[@ryans.1900]

I think an argument could be made for BotW being a Wii U port (and in which case, I'd replace it w/ your #10 pick)

[@BlackCatCards]

@jose ramiro reynoso ruiz it's def not a port on paper, but it's quite obviously a "spiritual" port, given how the Wii U version totally could've released before the Switch version but they just didn't wanna do that

[@LittleLexi24]

Super Mario 3D World cause it adds an entire game

[@Justsomedudeokay]

Could you rank *all* Wii U to Switch ports? (Including third party ones) (Yes, that would include Breath Of The Wild)

[@AlexEgiyan]

Yes, Bower’s Fury is still the best game of the year (yet)

[@Ray_2112]

Until Metroid Dread comes out... :D

[@AlexEgiyan]

@@Ray_2112 Already pre-ordered! I really hope it will deserve that place!

[@Ray_2112]

@@AlexEgiyan Me too, but I have a good feeling. Can't wait to play it.

[@cephalopod17]

Just bought the port of Tropical Freeze (owned it on Wii U, first time buying a Wii U port), and while the game is still amazing and the QoL improvements are good to have, I would have preferred some extra kongtent aside from New Funky Mode.

[@Ray_2112]

Yes, would have been nice. F.e. a couple of additional levels in the special world. There is some cool concept art you can unlock that shows levels on the moon etc., would have been nice if they actually still made those. But it's a mystery in general what Retro Studios has been doing all those years...

[@thatssomegoodpie]

I'm shocked Xenoblade X hasn't been ported yet. I do want it to remain solely on the wiiU tho so that the poor wiiU still has at least one great game going for it.

[@masterbspace]

I actually recently just got it for my Wii U haha

[@Ray_2112]

There is more than only that game still exclusive to Wii U...and looking at Switch's not really improving online service, the Virtual Console on Wii U is a gold mine.

[@thatssomegoodpie]

@@Ray_2112 I only care about physical so virtual console is worthless to me.

[@GreyWolfLeaderTW]

I've come to the conclusion that Nintendo *HATES* the idea of not eventually bundling DLC with the base game of a title. Most of the official Nintendo first-party ports of earlier WiiU games bundle together all the DLC, additional modes of other ports/versions, and add additional upgrades like higher resolution or higher frame rate or both.

Would like to see the batman Arkham game ported.

Now I kinda wanna see Jon rank the Wii to Switch ports. Maybe once Sonic Colours has been released?
