- Port begging is not the same for the Switch
|
Normally port begging is silly/stupid because you can just buy the system it is already on.
But in this rare case, us Switch users LOVE the fact the Switch makes it so we can either A. Relax in comfort and leisure in our favorite gaming spot, with a nice huge screen, great sound, our lights just right. Or B. Take it anywhere, bathroom, the party we didn't want to go to, work, engagement we were forced to attend, road trip, etc etc. This makes the system so perfect for us, we HATE playing other systems now. The Switch is literally the future of gaming and every company will end up copying them. Other day me and wife had to wait 45 minutes at dentist. Pulled out switch and we played Mario Kart together the entire time. Literally other people came and sat beside us and joined in. So we're not begging because we are to cheap to buy the other system. We are saying we want a "Switch" version of the game we love. Because of how epic the Switch is. |

Most sane people know this already. It's just the vocal dissenters that try to make it shame-worthy.
There are some legitimately concerned people that think ports will somehow dissuade new titles, but I doubt it'll have little, if any, true impact on that

I think actually all switch games should be ported to Wii u instead. It seems like the Wii u can run them and mario Odyssey for example is the mario game we should've gotten instead of 3d world.
Not porting to Wii u makes it look like Nintendo are abandoning their fans. Porting to switch makes it look like Nintendo are lazy Nintendo are doing the compete opposite thing
split screen multiplayer isn't a valid reason switch is a more console hybrid than PSP go because ANYONE can code it in PSP go - cyber akuma zero

Hardly doubt it will handle modern graphical intensive games. So ports is the best outcome. I'm already intending to get most of my indies on the Switch.

I agree, because porting a game from a home console to a handheld is worth it in my opinion. The portability aspect alone make it worth it. It's different than porting the game from a HD come console to another HD home console with slightly better graphics.

I can see the point.
Is not that we want a Switch port of a game. But rather that we want a HD portable version of the game. I'm in the same camp. And why for third-party games that come out on Switch and other systems, I will buy on Switch even if graphically inferior. Portability is too big a factor to ignore.

There are some legitimately concerned people that think ports will somehow dissuade new titles, but I doubt it'll have little, if any, true impact on that I think this is a fair concern when it comes to games like Mario Kart and Smash Bros, which have always had one game per system, Mario Kart even makes notes of this with the naming of retro courses, SNES Mario Circuit and GCN Baby Park, not Super Mario Circuit or DD Baby Park. It makes me worry if Switch will actually get its own Mario Kart. Smash Bros port would also feel pointless and outdated. We have many new games from core franchises that should be shown off in Smash and having two smash games on the system makes the other redundant. We should get a new Smash Bros with a 2019 or 2020 release.

Let it be known that I think the Switch will get a brand new Smash game instead of a port. |

I honestly don't see the difference between "port begging" on the Switch vs anything else really. You have the claim it is more because you can take it to your favourite gaming spot but really, what if your favourite gaming spot is your living room on your couch? Does that mean it is not the same for people doing it for the Xbox or PS4 because they want it for their system so they can play a game in their favourite spot? Really, port begging is still port begging regardless if your system is a handheld or a home console and you can't just say it counts for one thing but not the other simply because of your own preference.

You are wrong it's not about just taking it to your favorite spot. It's about taking it to spots you hate too. It's even better their as then you have something you love to help pass the time. |

The false claims in this. First porting is either done by smaller teams or is outsourced to another studio completely. Second I want to play my Wii U games on Switch and you have no right to deny me. Third Sony are the kings of this practice and made it take off in the first place. Watch this person ignore me posting the facts. |

And until Nintendo announce actual sequels instead of just ports it will continue to look like so And I don't know why you're bringing Sony into this when they have nothing to do with it. Sony can port all they want, doesn't excuse Nintendo

Right. I agree completely. I know resident evil 4 has been ported a million times over. I want my first truly portable re4. Me and my friend love re4 and would put our tvs together and race through that game. Having 2 switches with that game would make hanging out and playing that game more fun. Re5 would benefit that play style as well
Its nice to have a game to play in your hands when your gf takes the tv over(im playing megaman legacy 2 on ps4 and im currently having that problem). or you have to go on a long road trip or plane trip. Or you can play games between calls at your call center job. Its nifty.
you want mother in america? don't you know? it doesn't exist.

I don't see anything wrong with port "begging" to begin with, since what is commonly labelled as such on here isn't usually much more than just showing interest in a game being ported to whatever system.
There's a mystery to be uncovered here, that's for sure. And I get the feeling the truth is beyond my wildest imagination.

Two sides to the port begging issue:
1. Salty WiiU owners who dont understand why Nintendo would port a WiiU game for a massive audience that skipped the WiiU 2. People who want current PS4/xbox games ported to the Switch since the Switch has enough teraflops and all it takes is a simple graphics downgrade

It seems like the Wii u can run them and mario Odyssey for example is the mario game we should've gotten instead of 3d world. Splatoon 2 is a sequel. I brought Sony up because they are ultimately to blame for this practice today. Nintendo only ever did it in the background on things like GBA. It is Sony to blame for making it so common. The port complaints are pointless. I completely miss my Wii U and actually regretted initially buying Switch because Wii U's exclusives are definitely among the best Nintendo have ever made. Keeping them exclusive to Wii U benefits nobody. Wii U owners don't lose anything and people who upgraded like me and want to play them get to play at least some of them. If I get to play Pikmin 3 or Woolly World as nature intended again I'll have to wait and see. |

I know splatoon 2 is a sequel, but to me looking at switch exclusives alone the console is underwhelming. And I think part of the reason is Wii u ports, and that's not something that can be disproven. If mk8d or botw switch didn't exist, I think mk9 and Zelda switch would have been announced by now. At least it should have This could all change if by the end of this year Nintendo actually announce more switch exclusives like this but I don't see that happening

Two sides to the port begging issue: Just because a game gets ported to a system with a larger user base doesn't mean it will be successful because of it. Look at the sales of the wiiu hyrule warriors vs legends. Also there are more wiiu's out there than switches...... |

This makes the system so perfect for us, we HATE playing other systems now. The Switch is literally the future of gaming and every company will end up copying them. Until you get people to stop spouting off how the Switch is just a secondary console (implying they have other systems that are most likely not portable they'd rather game on) or that the Switch doesn't need 3rd party AAA games (implying that even if developers were to port some of these games over, there may not be much of an interest in buying them), it's going to be an upward battle getting developers more invested in the Switch. Developers have used every excuse in the book (lacks power, too much effort, won't work) but I personally think it's because they don't want to take the risk that it won't sell. And when you have people with attitudes like the ones I suggested in the paragraph above, all they're hearing is that the game may not be quite as popular as they hoped on the Switch.

I want every Wii U release to be ported to Switch. And as someone who rejected Wii U but is interested in Super Mario Odyssey, that would turn me off from Switch. I'd rather have proper Nintendo games again and not a Wii U 2 + Odyssey adapter. We're getting a real 3D Mario again. So let's get a real Paper Mario instead of Sticker Star 2: Paint Boogaloo DX.
