The WiiU was a flawed concept. Aplying the DS doublescreen on a home console took a lot of power that would have been useful in other areas, and its bad advertisement crippled people's attention for it. The Swich, while it has yet to prove itself, it looks like a much solid proposition from the beginning. The concept is easy to grasp, the tech seems to work well, and any other "gimmick" has been left aside (no double screen, no motion controlls, no 3D), the thing does what it says in the title. Nintendo is playing to their strenghts here, and Nintendo handhelds are always successful. Even big companies can't ignore an userbase of 50-60m if the porting work needed is not as big as it was before.

You can make Wii U game without double-screen, motion control and 3D effect. This is traditional gaming console with traditional controllers. Not some Frankenstein monster.
I see zero reasons for developers to be excited about Switch. Except money from N.

By the same logic, you can make traditional games on the Switch. If they work on the TV screen, they will work on the tablet, it's just configuring two diferent settings (TV mode and tablet mode with smaller resolution). That is traditional gaming too. And devs will find the Switch as the only modern console that can play their games on the go, which can be a really big selling point for some games.
