It absolutely does make sense from a business perspective. I am one of like eight people who bought a Wii U when they were in production. I'm still not buying a bunch of ports of games I already have though. It's not just Nintendo either. I don't understand people buying Skyrim, for example, over and over. I bought that game one time.
I don't mind ports, in fact I admit I can double dip on games I like when they come on PC or get ported on Switch for the portability & local co-op. I tend to wait for a sale though. But I admit I never owned a WiiU, and I pretty much skipped the 3DS and Wii generations too.

I have double dipped before on a few games. Like with SRW V and X on the PS4 and Switch. I don't have a PS4 anymore and I am content having SRW V, T and X on the Switch.

Wii U was... something. I had one but I rarely touched it. I had Mario Maker, but seeing the same Kaizo stages or auto runners were kind of stale. I owned a Wii also, but I mainly used it for the VC.

The problem with the Wii and WiiU was the heavy reliance on their gimmicks while I generally prefer playing games with a normal controller layout.
Meanwhile on Switch, there are the classical kind of videogames alongside of the "casual" stuff to play with my younger and older folks (51 Worldwide Games, Ring Fit Adventure, etc), and its ability to easily transition between a home console and a portable handheld/tablet does have some impressive appeal. I admit I wasn't initially sold on the thing until last year with the lockdowns, and this end up being a better investment than I expected to be.

I haven't got any problems with the infamous joycon drift yet but Nintendo should still raise the bar of the overall build quality. The bottom of my right joycon feels flimsy as it doesn't exactly lock completely with the tablet part unlike the left joycon. It's not a dealbreaker for me but I have noticed it since the day I got the system.

I hated the waggle shit as is. As someone who has some gripping issues and tends to drop stuff when my joints feel numb, it isn't fun. I never threw the remote at the screen like all these urban stories you hear about the Wii.

Switch has a lot of games for everyone to choose from. With Lockdown, I binged more on Super Robot Wars T and Pokemon Sword Raids with friend most people who just sat with ACNH. I got my Switch back in 2017 and mainly for Indies. Plus it being region free is way better than it being region locked. Some games like Stardew Valley feel suited for Handheld mode IMO.

I had drift once on my old Joycons, but I got some new ones back in 2019 which work better. I have a Wireless PowerA controller which lasted me pretty long and still works pretty well.
 
Apparently the rumored control fixes to Skyward sword may have made the problem worse than better. You supposedly have to hold down a button and move the analog stick and then release the button so link can swing.

If you thought you could just go around hitting a button to swing like Oot, MM, TP, WW, and BOTW apparently that's possibly too much to ask.

Anyways 60 Dollars please.

Watch a joycon teardown there's literally nothing but plastic housing for minimal electronics.

Get a pro controller and just ditch the joycons.
 
There's more and easier ways to actually fix that then the joycons though.

Being that's it's actually grounded compared to the joycon's guts that are just held together by glue and strips.
... What glue? I haven't encountered anything that passes as adhesive in a joycon. It's held together with hopes that the ribbon cable slots handle the stress.
 

Oh, what’s that Dunkey, you don’t like anime or JRPGs? I’m sorry, I didn’t hear you the last 5000 fucking times. Boy, I can’t wait for his fans to start parroting his opinions once again.

You know I would like the play the F-Zero arcade game that that doesn't require running batshit emulators or needing a specific version of action replay so my gamecube can kinda sorta run it.
 
People are mad that bing bing wahoo is being taken off the eshop.

Nintendo has been doing faux limited supply tactics for years. They did it with Amiibo, and they probably did it with the launch of the Switch and even with the launch of the Wii. I'd even go as far to say it's one of the main reasons for their success these days. FOMO is a poweful drug and Nintendo might as well have a monopoly over it. This is just the first time they've actually went 'mask off' as they say.

Don't forget the best example of all, the NES & SNES Mini.

I don't know why people pretend this is something new from Nintendo when the same company has already released anniversary editions only printed & available for a certain period of time in the past. You could argue this is shitty to pull the digital edition out of the store (and this is true) but knowing my personal experience of import japanese games in the past decade, this is not a rare occurrence exclusive to Nintendo either. Bamco quickly make the premium editions of Super Robot Wars games no longer available on PSN/eshop past the initial release date and Mages often lock games as pre-order exclusives for the newest visual novel titles (you had to buy a first-print PS4 or Vita copy of the shitty Yu-No remake if you wanted to play the original PC98 for instance, which was still CERO-censored though)

I don't understand why people still continue to act like game companies are their close friends or personal lovers and then become dumbfounded by shit like this.

Well, I know that the retro Mario multiplayer game was advertised as an temporary event; along with Game & Watch, and that FE1 game being listed as an limited edition.
