Switch's highest rated games are both Wii U ports...

Agreed, Nintendo offers nothing but a redundant experience on the Switch. Hopefully they go out of business and are forced to develop for Xbox One.

Agreed, some Nintendo games on the xbone would finally actually make it worth buying.

@ArchoNils2: I don't accept that Zelda is a port - it was developed in tandem for the Wii U and the Switch after they dropped the tablet features. You can say it started development as a Wii U game but ended development as a Wii U/Switch game, but you can't call it a port.

@so_hai: the Switch port was started in 2016 hence the delay

But it was redesigned to strip out Wii U-specific features and maximize its performance on the Switch.

It's the same thing that happened to Twilight Princess. Simultaneous release on the new and old console, with the new console's version being the definitive one.

It's a cross-platform release. Not a port. But the difference is mostly semantics. The reality is the two biggest Switch games are also available on Wii U, and it won't be until ARMS/Splatoon 2/Xenoblade Chronicles/Super Mario Odyssey that Wii U owners will not be able to enjoy the same big first party titles as Switch owners.
