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.
+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?)
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.
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...
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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....
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.
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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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"
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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....
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.
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.
Awesome vid brother Wood sir! I will try make my vids to your caliber one day! I will strive! I've never played Hyrule Warriors but the way u explained it....it sounds really good hey. Hope your well.....PEACE! :)
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
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.
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~~
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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...
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
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.
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.
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.
I'm fine with the ports honestly, I had to choose between purchasing a Wii U and a ps4 3 years ago and I chose the latter, since I was waiting for Zelda(delayed) and on the other console I had Bloodborne. Now that I can afford another system I can pick the games I missed in the Wii U on a console I actually like. The only thing that I miss on the Switch(and on the 3ds I own, but it's very limited) that I could have on Wii U is the virtual console, and it's truly a bummer since I have not played A LOT of Nintendo games, mostly home console games(I could count them with the fingers of 1 hand), and the idea of having them on a portable was one of the reasons I bought it day 1(well, day 2 to be exact). Now talking about the game itself, I want to give a try to the musou genre, but I don't know what game I should purchase. I'm a big Zelda fan, but I played Fire emblem Awakening and I loved it, so I don't know if purchase Fire Emblem Warrios or Hyrule Warriors. HW seems to have more content, characters and also runs at 60 fps or near on handheld mode (where I'm gonna play it 99% of the time), but Fire Emblem seems to be a better fit to the genre and I love how all the characters look in the game (compared to 3ds).
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.
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!)
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.
I never had Wii U I'm loving have ng an option playing games I've never got the chance too, I got the two Megaman bundles and I'm ecstatic. Ive gotten Hyrule warriors as well for the same reason as many. Never had the chance to play some of these iconic games growing up as a kid. I won't disagree that for everyone else that Nintendo is being a bit money hungry, but for myself personally and I'm sure a few others. MORE PORTS!
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!
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.
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.
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.
I passed up on the Wii U but LOVE my switch. I would love to be able to play Mario Maker for once. Gimme more ports! I'm hyped to play Captain Toad as well!
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.
Actually looks pretty fun, now that I know there's some strategy(/story?) to it... though I may wait for a cheaper used copy... Can't wait for Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker on Switch. Been wanting to play that since 2014.
This month they also released another "Dinasty Warriors" licensed game for $40 on the Swith if you are looking for a cheaper option of those kind of games under the One Piece license, called Pirate Warriors 3.
*I don’t mind, i never owned a wii u, there are many cool games that were just left behind to die there, id love to play zelda windwaker hd on the switch, im gonna buy a switch later this year, there are many awesome gems i want to play :)*
I actually WANT more ports, since I skipped Wii U. I'm so glad Nintendo is doing it. I'd love to get the entire catalogue, specially Tokyo Mirage Sessions, the HD versions of Twilight Princess and Wind Waker and pretty much everything that was good.
I really want to play LOZ: the Wind waker. And i don't want to buy a WII U. So yeah. The can make the ports. I also hope that they will make some other zelda games for the switch, like a Skyward sword HD, og a hero of time collection.
Hit that LIKE button! You guys know I love my ports ;)

BeatEmUps - I'VE NEVER PLAYED ANY OF THESE GAMES EXCEPT DOOM.
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
BeatEmUps actually you're not sick of it, you're just trying to make vids for that nice check... I see you buddy :]
BeatEmUps then why did you buy them? lol this man
If you don’t want to review Wii U port or buy one, just don’t do it.
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.
Never owned a Wii u so all these ports don't actually bother me
Shawn McMillan that my good sir is the point of the ports
Same.
Same
+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?)
Same
I want more ports. I didn’t own a WiiU so keep ‘em comin’! YEE HAW!
likethepear exactly! These are basically new games for most Switch owners.
likethepear I own a wii u but i didn't buy much games on it so i didn't play most of these ports
Same
Yes your right I want paper mario color splash
Same, never owned a Wii U!
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.
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...
Pedro Bruno, People didn't abandon them, they just went for the 3DS line of games.
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?
Dorien The Hero of the Arts If you couldn't afford a Wii U how could you afford the switch?
Have you heard of saving money?
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.
MrJobocan I have a wii u, and I have already bought games again on the switch.
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.

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
no no no we still don't have most important port - Xenoblade X
MrValgard I would love that and Tokyo Mirage Sessions
MrValgard Don't forget Wind Waker HD, Twilight Princess HD and Mario Maker
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
MrValgard would also love all 3 Xenosagas ported over.
MrValgard Just have Nintendo of Europe localize them, or get rid of the censorship
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.
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.
Ignorance is bliss to you all then. A port is a port. There's no masking that, for better or worse.
i want zelda wind waker for switch
Rèngár same here one of the best zelda games
Yes thats need to happen
Same. I have never had a chance to play it.
I honest have no idea why that and twilight Princess wouldn't be their first ports.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
By the way, the cat should be in more of your videos.
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.
The full price is what kills me and is why im not buying it.
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.
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.
he talked about this in the donkey kong video
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....
Retro Nerd thank you
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.
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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
Agreed
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
Actually, it was Mario Kart first. 😂 love you Wood haha
IAmPeterCole actually breath of the wild was, that was a Wii U game first before a port to the switch
Luigipokemaster 1 it was not a port, they released at the same time.
IAmPeterCole still a port they just released at the same time
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.
IAmPeterCole yeah I hate when people call Botw a port when its actually a dual release
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
Dynamic Penguin You, you didn't watch the video. Please don't comment a video just after reading the title.
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"
RAVAGE656 aren’t they planning to release a Zelda game like every year so I don’t think that golden rule still applies
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.
I'd love to have mario maker
Kayak Fan Mario maker isn’t happening
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.
I want more ports just wish they didn't charge the same fucking amount for them.
Ooh! Yes! I'd love that too. Also Ocarina with a more modern control scheme.
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.
Amelia Horswill Yeah i also hope they make an Ocarina of Time HD, Majora's Mask HD and a Skyward Sword HD
Yes, I could buy each of those a 3rd time too :)
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
This is like Nintendo is telling us that buying a Wii U was pointless, basically.
John B aka Smooth Chocolate It kinda was.
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.
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.
If Smash Switch is actually a new game, at the very least we'd have Smash 4.
Pretty much, they removed DK from the Wii u store in January but no one noticed
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.
I didnt own a wii u, so im looking for MORE ports
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.
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.
Sha Nen Hey I'm aussie too! I second that notion Woody! Bloody fukn doooooit maaaate!!!
Garn servo
I want all good game from wiiu
I want Zelda Twilight Princess! Nobody will change my opinion.
Berry Stapp Wind waker > twilight
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.
So many of us never had a wii u so ports are great.
I've been online whenever Wood posts his videos this week, it's great!
Love being able to watch his vids ASAP :D
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.
Chris Dodd how is Nintendo wanting you to buy These games again? If you have them already Dont buy them again.
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.
Chris Dodd you do realise that removing ports won’t speed up development of new games.
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.
Chris Dodd do you want rushed games in quantity or do you want quality games.
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....
Still waiting on skyward sword
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.
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
This was genuinely funny.
You're so creative keep up the good work! Also loved the stream of this the other night!
Oooo nooooo, these games are coming to the switch?? Oooo the humanity. Wait? Who owned a Wii U?? Nobody? Ok thx.
FierceDeity word this vid is kind of dumb
13 million people owned the Wii U.
Raphael Alexandre more than twice that own a switch
I own a wii u
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.
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
Yesss
New subscriber.. love the videos and channel in general!! I bought my switch back in June 2017 I’m going to start playing it more!!
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
Awesome vid brother Wood sir! I will try make my vids to your caliber one day! I will strive! I've never played Hyrule Warriors but the way u explained it....it sounds really good hey. Hope your well.....PEACE! :)
then don’t buy them. They are porting them because they sell incredibly well for the most part
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.
I think yo cat beat up your mic, Woods
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
i want super mario 3D world on switch!
Yes please!! That game is perfect for multiplayer, and the switch is built for that!
Well guess what? It's coming this year
Ok that little thing you did with the game cases in your hand was actually pretty cool not gonna lie 0:03
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.
Awesome vid Wood, keep it up homie!!!!👍🏻👍🏻
Bring on all the ports !!!!!
XD Love it man. The beginning is amazing with the voice over XD
Pls give me WW HD and TP HD
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~~
Whats a Wii U?
Nin10ja: Not sure. A university where they studied Wii games, maybe?
Some sort of add on for the Wii, I think.
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?
zeezo69x: A lot of 2014 couldn't figure out what it was either, that was part of the problem.
zeezo69x: Though because of those ports, Switch owners are getting most of the cream of the Wii U library.
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.
Tokyo Mirage please
DeAndre Haynes can I like something 6times!?
It’s coming look on Amazon
This is your best video yet, I was creasing up at the first part. Well played!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I'm loving all the different shirts used for this video :D
You forgot Zelda breath of the wild is a Wii U port :p
Luigipokemaster 1 its a dual release :/
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.
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.
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.
I like theses ports because I didn’t have wii u
ian grier You like buying an old game for the same price?
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.
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
Young Sachi I don't think it's your business what he spends his money on
Dudeeeee that mashup was one of the funniest and most creative things I've seen on youtube.
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.
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.
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.
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...
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
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.
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.
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.
I'm fine with the ports honestly, I had to choose between purchasing a Wii U and a ps4 3 years ago and I chose the latter, since I was waiting for Zelda(delayed) and on the other console I had Bloodborne. Now that I can afford another system I can pick the games I missed in the Wii U on a console I actually like. The only thing that I miss on the Switch(and on the 3ds I own, but it's very limited) that I could have on Wii U is the virtual console, and it's truly a bummer since I have not played A LOT of Nintendo games, mostly home console games(I could count them with the fingers of 1 hand), and the idea of having them on a portable was one of the reasons I bought it day 1(well, day 2 to be exact).
Now talking about the game itself, I want to give a try to the musou genre, but I don't know what game I should purchase. I'm a big Zelda fan, but I played Fire emblem Awakening and I loved it, so I don't know if purchase Fire Emblem Warrios or Hyrule Warriors. HW seems to have more content, characters and also runs at 60 fps or near on handheld mode (where I'm gonna play it 99% of the time), but Fire Emblem seems to be a better fit to the genre and I love how all the characters look in the game (compared to 3ds).
That was by far one of the funniest skit you did Wood and I love your vids! Keep it up homie
Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition and Pokken Tournament DX are amazing, already sunk so many hours in
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.
This video is great, the overdubs were hilarious :)
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!)
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.
wood you’re becoming one of my favorite youtubers :) you have the best videos !!
I never had Wii U I'm loving have ng an option playing games I've never got the chance too, I got the two Megaman bundles and I'm ecstatic. Ive gotten Hyrule warriors as well for the same reason as many. Never had the chance to play some of these iconic games growing up as a kid. I won't disagree that for everyone else that Nintendo is being a bit money hungry, but for myself personally and I'm sure a few others. MORE PORTS!
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!
Such an amazing and creative video thats so true Wood, keep being awesome!
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.
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.
I could not agree with you more! Well said.
Linkman247 ‘many of them’
>only complains about TF and says others were justified
Way to make a mountain out of a molehill, buddy
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.
I’ve got to ask. Where did you get those shelves?
I passed up on the Wii U but LOVE my switch. I would love to be able to play Mario Maker for once. Gimme more ports! I'm hyped to play Captain Toad as well!
Awesome video !! I love your work dude..
Gr8 review! Love how you can take a game that tons of other youtubers are reviewing and make it original and self aware!
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.
Actually looks pretty fun, now that I know there's some strategy(/story?) to it... though I may wait for a cheaper used copy... Can't wait for Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker on Switch. Been wanting to play that since 2014.
This month they also released another "Dinasty Warriors" licensed game for $40 on the Swith if you are looking for a cheaper option of those kind of games under the One Piece license, called Pirate Warriors 3.
That was a nice -Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Bayonetta 2- Hyrule Warriors review
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.
*I don’t mind, i never owned a wii u, there are many cool games that were just left behind to die there, id love to play zelda windwaker hd on the switch, im gonna buy a switch later this year, there are many awesome gems i want to play :)*
I actually WANT more ports, since I skipped Wii U. I'm so glad Nintendo is doing it. I'd love to get the entire catalogue, specially Tokyo Mirage Sessions, the HD versions of Twilight Princess and Wind Waker and pretty much everything that was good.
Xenoblade X, Zelda Windwaker, Tokyo Mirage Sessions, and Super Mario Maker. All these Wii U ports on the switch would be amazing.
I really want to play LOZ: the Wind waker. And i don't want to buy a WII U. So yeah. The can make the ports. I also hope that they will make some other zelda games for the switch, like a Skyward sword HD, og a hero of time collection.
