Nintendo Direct Mini - January 11th 2018

I actually would've prefered a Wii U over the PS4, but I loved the PS3, and my brother wanted to play with all of his freinds on PS4, so I took the gamble. While he was having a blast with MGS5, Dishonored 2, Uncharted 4, Doom, Fallout 4, FF15, and so much more, I played.....LittleBigPlanet 3 for a bit. It was a really bad sequel. And erm..... that was it. I'm so happy with the Switch now,
because not only do I get awesome original Nintendo games, but I can catch up on some of the old Wii U games I missed out on!

My biggest hope is a 3D World port, but thats not really forseeable.
 
I feel Nintendo might be making a mistake porting so many WiiU titles to the Switch. For WiiU owners, there hasn't been many reasons to make the "Switch".

For me though, speaking as someone who skipped the WiiU, this is not so terrible. I've secretly been hoping for a Hyrule Warriors port so, ~yay! Tropical Freeze looks pretty good too.
 
There's plenty of reasons to make the switch! Odyssey, Xenoblade 2, Kirby, Yoshi, Prime 4, Splatoon 2, Pokemon, and so mcuh more we probably don't know about!
 
i skipped the wiiu so im not all that bothered by ports but its just annoying that they try and brand it as a whole new game rather than just "we've added an easy mode'
 
If you can't see any good in Mario Tennis Aces...

JUST TAKE A GANDER AT THESE BAD BOIIZZZZZZ :rolleyes:

Ok here's a few view points and well points of porting
1 ( the big "one" ) money just leave it at. Cost-effective money.
2 the switch uses a whole different game format which means you can't even think about playing old games though this point would be moot if the switch or next gen was built with the necessary gimiks for Wii u ports and they said nah to cross compadable

I don't know where my head was when I made that comment about this crap.

Pathetic.

I honestly don't even care about Nintendo anymore.

I feel if Nintendo said "hey a switch direct MINI will be coming "soon"! ( Nothing big will be announced )" then ally of ppls "rage" would be lessened unless you'd honestly expect acs to be announced in a "nothing big mini direct"
