This I don't get either. Out of the games announced there are basically 5 games on the Wii U. 3 of which are on basically every platform. In what way is that most games?

Counting all the junk you mean?

Of the games that may actually be console sellers:

 * Zelda is a Wii U cross-gen title.
 * Mario Kart is a Wii U remaster.
 * Splatoon 2 will appeal to the same people as Splatoon 1 on Wii U.
 * Xenoblade Chronicles 2 will appeal to the same people as Xenoblade Chronicles on Wii U.
 * Mario Odyssey, maybe more appeal than 3D World... who knows.

I think it does look like more of the same as Wii U.  It will sell to Wii U owners that want a Splatoon sequel, etc. but there isn't much new here that will attract a wider audience than Wii U.

I think the biggest difference is how much earilier these franchises will release on Switch.

Wii U launch-Nov 2012

3D Mario-Nov 2013

Mario Kart-May 2014

Splatoon-May 2015

Xenoblade-Dec 2015

Zelda-March 2017

On the other hand they are all planned for the first 9 months of Switch's life.
