The WiiU port vs. Nintendo Switch version

See, it would be nice if Blocking on these forums actually did anything. Case in point I have you blocked, yet i still see when you post comments on boards and you can still see mine. On most forums soon as you block someone they completely vanish, and said persons blocked are unable to see your posts/topics either. This forum shows me blank spaces where someone i have blocked has commented "This post is hidden. Display Post". While the person i have blocked IE you, can also see and respond to my posts, thats not how its supposed to work.

Its annoying. on any other site a block/ignore removes any trace of them outside of people im not blocking responding to that persons comments, and them never being able to see me or my posts/topics i make. Maybe if these forums implemented a proper block/ignore system thatd be one thing, but as it is now you being blocked means nothing when the forum doesn't even bother to hide you from me, or me from you properly.

Please stop being disrespectful to one another. All of you. I'm not promoting an echo chamber of positivity, but there's a difference between making your point and starting an argument because you feel you must change someone's opinion on something. That's obviously not going to happen.

For the rest of this thread: If you can't say something nice about a member, don't say anything at all.

I'm probably just grumpy because this is the first thing I'm waking up to today, but please just let all this negativity go. This is a very necessary thread that serves a good purpose. It's flat out asking for people's opinions. It's OK to explain your position. Its OK to have an opinion on someone else's opinion. Just please don't try and change anyone or disrespect them for having their opinion.

I'm glad we have a diverse pool of people who think differently.
I need coffee.

I'll go get the out of the cellar.

As refreshing as it is to see people with different perspectives on issues (and to be genuine friends with those people), cooler heads must prevail.

That depends.  Do you dream of inverted sheep, and lava lakes on your "ceiling"?

You might need a bit of good wine for that.

Allow me to clarify my position, I'm happy to do so if it seemed like I was simply demanding Nintendo get no support from us ever. 

I used to be a huge Nintendo fan (Fire Emblem being my #1 franchise from them obviously), but the Wii U has done so poorly I simply would consider it a bad business decision for Inti to spend what could be a considerable sum porting it to the console, especially since the Wii U wont even be in production anymore by the time Bloodstained is released. 

As for the Switch? I honestly hope it does well, and if it does, I'd certainly support Inti porting Bloodstained to it. I've not said I don't think Nintendo should ever get the game ever, simply that I don't know if making it a Launch title for the Switch before the system has a chance to prove its going to be a success. Making Bloodstained a Launch title for the Switch simply feels, to me, like a dangerous gamble. If the Switch sells very well and Bloodstained was part of that Launch it would be a great thing. But after the failure of the Wii U and general displeasure people have had with Nintendo regarding their public policies (such as Youtube, for one example) and their recent perplexing lack of 3rd party support, I simply cant say I think the Switch is going to be a big hit for absolute certain, and if it sold poorly at Launch and Inti had already ported Bloodstained to it, we could be looking at a major loss for a game and creator that can't afford it. 

I dont think I'm being a hypocrite here, I'm simply very worried about Bloodstaind's future, and the current state of Nintendo has me worried. All I was saying is that I think it would be a better idea to wait and see with the Switch, and port Bloodstained to it if the console has a good Launch instead of gambling on the Launch and porting it early. 

add in the multitude of >rumors< on the switchs capabilities from reviewtechusa, gamexplain, spawnwave, smd64 and others

wonder if this will influence anyones decisions on whether a switch port would be a good idea? (forgot the tentative date is in 2018 now, but getting a game out in the switches first 12-18 mths would definitely be a plus)

Switch comes out in 3 months. That'll be at least a year before Bloodstained comes out. We'll know the degree of success/failure that the Switch enjoys by then. More than enough time to decide if a Switch version is worth the effort. I personally think it will be worth it. They cant possibly do worse than the WiiU plus said Switch port has to be easier, quicker and cheaper than a WiiU one now that we know that Switch natively supports UE4 unlike Nintendo's current console.

Can you blame them? The Wii U just isn't lookin' too hot and tempting right now. Especially with how it's died out lately. What with the Smash DLC being done, and none of the other cash cow VG's are showing up on it. Paper Mario Color Splash was a joke...

I am happy that Yooka-Laylee will be released on Switch instead of Wii U. It is the only other game I backed on Kickstarter and Switch is the console/handheld I plan to enjoy most of the time in the next few years. I hope IGA will decide to make a Switch version of Bloodstained as well. More and more I think about it, it makes more sense and makes me want it so much more!
