Gotta agree, kinda silly when you think about it. Unless I am missing something.

The NS was first acknowledged by Nintendo since way back in 2014 right? Meaning the have been working on this for at least 4 years.Now the WiiU was no doubt a failure. Why didn't Nintendo just make the the switch BC with all WiiU software? But not just that, digitally have available remastered (even if its just a rez and performance bump) versions of all the best selling WiiU games day one?

Obviously there re a LOT of people that hasn't played them being how poorly the wiiU did, so why not?

just a hunch,.. but i'd guess it is due to the lack of a disc drive.

Of course Switch would need to "have Wii U inside" in a form or another, in this case it would also need to have extra hardware because of the controller and the disc drive anyway. Besides, if the Wii U did not sell, having a BC had not been worth it, as there's obvious lack of interest in it's games.

I think the question was, why the dock did not include Wii U. It would have been a solution of having two consoles for the price of two.

Nintendo latest successful ip is actually an online shooter, but ok..

That's true, and you'll notice that in nearly every single review of that online shooter, the majority of the complaints are directed at how the online was handled. No voice chat, no local co op, restricted to two maps at any given time, etc. To this day Nintendo consistently fumbles some of the easiest things to nail with online gameplay, with perhaps the most recent notable example being having to use a phone app to voice chat on Switch.

There aren't that many maps in Splatoon anyway, so the lack of options isn't that big of a deal.

The app on your mobile is absolutely brilliant! You can chat with your friends cross-game if you prefer, but apparently you may not even need to be playing at all to be in touch with your friends or you do not need stop chatting if you need to leave the game or the house. This app might especially be great if you have kids.
