Nintendo loves to port old stuff to new systems.  So, I'm sure they'll do a bunch of it.  Also, considering the poor sales of Wii U, there will likely be many Switch owners that didn't play the original versions.  That's not going to make the 15MM Wii U owners rush out to buy the Switch though, and Nintendo needs every early system sale they can get.  If this thing doesn't do well in the first 12-18 months, its all over for Nintendo in the hardware business.    

Yeah, I hope for Nintendo's sake that they don't lean too heavily on Wii U ports. Old games aren't going to sell the Switch.

I think they plan to sprinkle them around as supplemental things.  Too many new games too close together saturates things too much so I think they'll have the ports in slots where it would be too soon for a new game but still a kind of droubt.  Or they could make them just a one time collection of supplememts to the launch lineup.
