i doubt we'll see anything more but a few more frames on the switch version. similar to what happend with twilight princess .. wii had the power but shigeru didnt allowed it for some fucked up reason.

wii is only a gamecube running with an increased 50% speed plus it has 64MB of buffer/cache memory to replace the slower 16MB buffer/cache memory of the gamecube. I think the wii version was slightly higher res due to widescreen support and had to process motion controls so some of that extra processing was absorbed that way. I had both Twilight Princess on Gamecube and wii at the time and I remember there was more slowdown on the wii version possibly due to disc access. The little gamecube discs were lightning fast with very low seek times for obvious reasons.

Wii's 64MB of memory is not just buffer/cache. On Gamecube it was, cos it was slow DRAM, but on Wii this was upgraded to GDDR3. Also, motion controls  in the Wii version of TP don't really require any more processing than analogue stick input in the Gamecube version, and has pretty much zero impact on performance.
