There's a very substantial difference between "I can't play this" and "I won't play this because it costs more than I'm willing to pay." The former is somebody else's fault, the latter is entirely a self-created problem. Regardless, being this bothered by it is ridiculous. It's mildly annoying at worst, not the deeply insulting slap in the face you seem to think it is.

It isn't a self-created problem because it's completely insane to spend $60 to get $10 worth of content. And not being able to play content ever because I bought the Wii U version is a slap in the face.

In the vast majority of cases, it is just bonus content. Bowser's Fury is actually looking to be a bit more substantial, such that it may yet see a standalone release (much like NSLU or the Xenoblade 2 Torna campaign did), but every other example is pretty trivial stuff. As I said, it's generally enough to make the remake the preferred version of the game, but very much not enough to act like you're playing a defective product for not having it.

More characters in a fighting game or a fixed battle mode in Mario Kart is never trivial.

Again, that's roughly akin to a spoiled toddler throwing a tantrum because he realizes another kid is playing with a toy he doesn't have. You're going to have a really rough time being a gamer moving forward if enhanced rereleases make you regret buying games you were perfectly happy to play at the time. I encourage you to get over yourself to avoid that.

I will never tolerate missing out on content on any videogame because the devs lock out content behind ports. I am only perfectly happy when I get all the content I care about in every game just buying it once. I need all the content, just like it used to be for decades that I bought all the games just once and got all the content those games would ever have. I need to only spend $60 on every game I ever buy only once and never miss on any DLC ever. I need all the content I want for all the games I want and at a reasonable price. A kid can live without a toy, I can't live without my games.

Suggesting that they should just "make new games instead" completely misunderstands how much work goes into new games compared to ports. The two are not remotely comparable, let alone equivalent. So yes, you'd rather the games not be ported at all, meaning nobody gets the new content and millions of Switch owners that skipped the WiiU never get to experience the games you enjoyed, all because you don't want to feel like you're missing out on an extra character.

If they want to port those games then they must not add any new content. Period. And if ports take less work than new games they shouldn't be charging me $60 for a game that I already own.

One commercial failure and Nintendo's just as bad as Atari? Overdramatic much? Have you forgotten that Nintendo also made the Virtual Boy, which failed a whole lot harder than the WiiU (~95% fewer units sold) and hasn't even been able to maintain a legacy of having great games because its games weren't able to be played by anyone other than the handful of people that bought one? Nobody cares. Failed consoles happen, people move on. You should too.

Virtual Boy was axed just a year after release. They were 100% honest that they wouldn't support the Virtual Boy. With Wii U they decieved people promising support and later porting everything to another console. Also, Virtual Boy was always meant as some weird shit they got out of the door to make up for the N64 delays. Wii U on their other hand was serious business and it HAD to be good.

Only shit console makers don't care about their legacy. The day there is a shit XBox, Microsoft will leave the console biz. The day there is a shit numbered Playstation, Sony will leave the console biz. These companies are serious and will never let any of their consoles fail unless they intend to leave the market. I will move on when Nintendo leaves the console biz.

Sega went out of the console business not because of one bad console (or even any truly bad consoles), but because of a long series of bad business decisions that meant their console business was unsustainable and they would have gone bankrupt if they tried to keep it going. Nintendo's not going to go bankrupt any time soon, and certainly won't over one bad console (especially not if they can port that console's games to their newest system to recover the money they didn't make due to the WiiU's poor sales, which they can despite how personally insulted you seem to be by it).

The bad business decisions were basically the 32X and Saturn. For an add-on the 32X was good and Saturn was much better than Wii U.
