New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe - Switch Port Rumors

I was being a bit cheeky with that post regarding Smash Ultimate being ported since I know that won't happen, so please excuse me ^^;

Still, I think porting NSMBU for Switch is a dumb move. As people already said, I want a new game rather than this.
 
If this rumor is true, they'd have to remove Boost Mode, and as such the game would only support 4 players. That would also mean no Boost Stars or 3-Up Moons.

My Wii U won't load this game, and I may have to buy a new copy. But between the Wii U version and a potential Switch port...I'll take the Wii U version any day. Mainly because of Boost Mode, and also because all my progress is on Wii U.

But honestly, I can't fully believe these rumors. I mean, rumors were strong for a Switch VC with GCN games, and look how that turned out.
 
For me, progress isn't important in these games. Most of the time, I just erase the existing file that has the least progress and play through.

Only one file is dedicated for 100% completion.
 
I own NSMBU and would be fine if it got ported. I never bought Luigi U, only played it at a friend's house. I'd be down for re-buying because I like the Switch platform more and would rather replay it there. It also gives those who didn't have a Wii U a chance to play it.

For those who are like, "This is dumb, they should make a new game," I disagree. I honestly don't understand how locking the game to DOA console benefits Nintendo or the audience in any way. If you already own the game and don't want the port then don't get it and you're no worse off. The game came out 6 years ago, can you really have buyer's remorse after all that time? If you're a Switch owner who hasn't played it before, yay, you can play the thing now. If you're Nintendo, yay, more money for not much work.

Ports are done by small teams or external studios so they could easily port it while also working on a new one anyway.

If it goes ahead then I'd like to see some new content, whether it's new levels or game modes. Female playable characters (Peach, Rosalina, Toadette, etc) would be very welcome because two Toads is bloody ridiculous. Online and LAN play would be neat but I wouldn't expect either.

Agreed. Two Toads were a lame choice. People want variety with characters like Peach and Daisy serving that purpose unique abilities, not duplicate clone characters.
 
I don't want characters to have their own abilities. It potentially screws around with level design.
 
I don't want characters with unique abilities in NSMB either. But I still think that having two Toads is just dumb. Then again, I can't think of anyone that could replace one of the Toads...
 
Regular Toad and Toadette.

Bam, problem solved. You don't even need to alter the bones (since Blue and Yellow share the same freaking model and file), just add jiggle bones to the model for the Toadette variant of the model.
 
It makes no sense to make a Nintendo Switch port for New Super Mario Bros. U, since it was meant to be a Wii U exclusive title with its GamePad and Miiverse (which is now closed) features.
 
Probably going to replace those features with something else, I'm betting.

Baby Mario and Baby Luigi as how modders did in New Super Mario Bros. Wii.
