It won't surprise me if they do, but that'll likely depend on just how much content it is. It may not actually be that much, in which case it'd be silly to do a standalone release (and, in turn, to be this butthurt over it).

It's probably enough to sell it at $10.

SMB+Duck Hunt gave you two games for the price of one. Mario All Stars gave you four games for the price of one. OoT Master Quest completely overhauled every dungeon, and wasn't even available for sale (literally not available, not your version of "it costs too much so it's impossible to buy") until the 3DS port a decade later. Metroid Prime 3 was rereleased a mere two years later with two whole other games bundled in with it (each of which were also rereleased with control overhauls in such a bundle). Rereleases with major additional content are nothing new, even relatively soon after the original comes out.

Most of those ports were just bundles of existing games, so if you bought those games at launch you didn't have to buy the ports. OoT Master Quest literally just changed the locations of items and enemies, it had zero new content. It was a lazy rom hack which is why it was a preorder bonus in the first place.

Which still doesn't mean they weren't exclusives. Heck, every game offers better value if you buy them later, given that their prices inevitably drop (by relatively little in the case of Nintendo games), far more so than the value of any of these games is affected by the additional content.

Exclusives on Wii U weren't exclusive for long enough for the Wii U to be up to Nintendo standards or even Sega standards.

The PS5's entire noteworthy launch lineup consists of a port of a PS3 game and glorified DLC for the PS4 Spiderman game sold as a standalone game, both of which are sold for $70. Not exactly the best example you could use there.

Demon's Souls doesn't have any new content that I know. Spiderman Miles Morales is sold at $50, it is only $70 if you buy the Ultimate edition with the Spiderman remaster and it is much longer than Bowser's Fury, that's for sure. Like I've said, they don't lock DLC behind ports.

Nobody's been screwed here. You're being melodramatic.

I'm not being melodramatic. I bought a Wii U and several Wii U games for nothing, because I could get the complete version of everything if I skipped it. A Nintendo home console should have been a safe bet, and instead they shit the bed.
