Then it'd be a shame.

I'm almost certain the games will be enhanced ports from the Wii U version, with some extras added. The footage of MK in the reveal video looked like MK8.

Both of these games aren't that old and I think Nintendo will at least use their assets. The Switch will have more games coming faster than Wii U because of all the ports like MK, Smash, Splatoon, probably Mario Maker and Pokken Tournament too. That's 5 games.

I actually doubt Mario Maker will come to the Switch.  In fact, I think that's the main reason it is coming to the 3DS.  The Switch lacks the dual screen aspect that makes Mario Maker so convenient.  It would be a rather clumsy, inferior version if brought to the Switch.

Pokken I can definitely see getting a port with all the new Arcade content in there.  And of all the proposed port, this is the only one I am legitimately looking forward to seeing because even modest estimates put the Switch at a level of power well above the Wii U's capabilities and that would allow Pokken to look much more like the arcade version.  And since the DLC isn't already on the Wii U, I won't be rebuying all of that along with the game.  

The one I am least looking forward to is Smash.  Cause of all these games mentioned, it's the second most obviously held back by hardware limitations.  It looks nice, but far from what it could look like liberated from the Wii U (and the 3DS since we all know that probably impacted the visuals acrosss the board).  by all means, keep the big 3rd party characters this time rather than scrapping them (I think the historic ones like Cloud, Sonic, Megaman, and Pac-Man fit in really well anyway), but I really, REALLY hope we get a new one that pushes the visuals further, especialy with regards to the stages cause there are several on the Wii U version that just look like slightly polished up GameCube assets.
