Why would devs back another underpowered Nintendo console?

They wont. Most of them, like Fromsoftware and Bethesda are only gonna port old games to the console, so strictly speaking Nintendo can claim they have their support, even tho they are only going to port old game or make some shitty spinoff like Squareenix does

???

Maybe referring to Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time & Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers for the Wii?

I've never played them but from what I hear it's mediocre at best.

But I agree with Jpcc86 that ports/spin off are likely the best bet from 3rd party support.  I find it difficult to believe the Switch will get any huge AAA 3rd party exclusive either.
