Captain Toad Is Headed To Switch, Nintendo Direct Confirms

@OhSnapitz: Wii U still exists. You can buy one for cheap!

@Sepewrath: How many PS3 exclusives Sony ported to the PS4? I can't remember all of them, but i think GoW 3, TLOU and Uncharted trilogy. MS did this with Halo (although you can still play these games via BC, so you really don't need to buy the game again), Gears of War 1 - which was a Full Remaster, not a port - State of Decay and i might be missing more games, i don't know. All the other games ported for the PS4/One were from 3rd parties and has nothing to do with Sony or MS. Now, let's see how many Switch games were or are being ported from the Wii U: DK Tropical Freeze, Mario Kart 8, Bayonetta 2, Captain Toad Treasure Tracker, Pokken, Hyrule Warriors, Breath of the Wild, and who knows how many more they will port, like Super Mario Maker, 3D World, Pikmin 3 and etc. Sony and MS didn't port all their exclusive games for the current-gen consoles, and PS3 and 360 weren't like the Wii U was, a failure in terms of sales. What kind of incentive Nintendo is giving for Wii U owners to go and buy a Switch if the only thing they do is porting the old games for the new console non-stop? They make people who bought the console look like a bunch of fools that spent too much money on something that really don't matter now since most of its games are on another console and they'll need to buy all of them again. To you, it may not be a big deal, but for people like me that don't live in USA and have to spend 2x or even 4x more on a Nintendo game than North-Americans (a Wii U game here costs around 250-300 bucks) this is a big deal. It's just not an option for me to buy a new console and all the same games again. If i don't to that then i'll be left with not a lot of choices in terms of exclusive titles for the Switch, which brings me to my next point...

They didn't release several high caliber exclusives a month, last year. Last year they released Splatoon 2, Xenoblade 2 and Odyssey as >>exclusives<< that were considered good. All the other ones were ports, including Breath of the Wild, Mario Kart 8 or Pokken. I only count 3 months out of 12 here with new exclusive games and that's the issue with the Switch. If i buy one, and i keep my old Wii U games, there's not a lot to go to after i play Odyssey and Splatoon 2, since i own most of 1st party Wii U games and the other Switch games from 3rd parties are also available for the other current-gen consoles for a while now, like DOOM, Skyrim, Resident Evil Revelations, Rayman Legends, Payday 2 and etc. Totally different situation than the first few years of One and PS4, that DID have a lot of ports, but those were only available in old consoles and the new versions were actually BETTER than the original games (better resolution and framerate). The only thing that i agree with you is that they had a more solid first year in terms of games than PS4 or XBox One, but a lot of brand new exclusive games? No. Just a bunch of ports. Luckily most of them are Nintendo games that do have a lot of quality.

At least the 3DS are having interesting ports that DO matter and were needed, like Bowser's Inside Story (a 2009 game), Superstar Saga (a Gameboy Advance game) or Luigi's Mansion (a Gamecube game).
