Well first, it will sell because Splatoon is fun as hell and now you can play it on the go as well lol

Otherwise, it seems absolutely clear to me that this is mostly a remaster with a new map pack in all but name... It reminds me of most direct sequels, probably recycling the engine and utilizing many of the same assets with some polishing here and there.

Of course, that doesn't particularly bother me given there isn't another Splatoon available on the Switch and, given the nature of the game and the art style, I'm having a difficult time thinking of things I'd like to be improved or included for the first time. It looks good, the maps are new, and we can play it on a new system; thats about all that matters lol

Well the game being fun is implied. No game will sell if it isn't fun..or at least not have the legs Splatoon has. So you said the same thing I did and 1005 YES IT DOES AND WILL SELL BECAUSE IT IS NINTENDO'S ONLY ONLINE SHOOTER. IT IS NINTENDO's CALL OF DUTY. I don't see why you're trying to correct me when we both said virtually the samething...

The vast majority of people won't mind that it is virtually the same game with a couple added features because like Call of Duty it will sell. Not to mention Wii U had 14 million (I think) sales, that's a ton of people that have never played Splatoon that are going to purchase. All the butthurt kids that are upset (and I don't see many of them) that this is basically a remaster will purchase because 1. There's nothing else on the Switch, 2. Their friends will be playing it.

 

A Splatoon game will be the 2nd best selling Switch title behind Mario Kart.

It was mostly the last line I was responding to "This game will sell because it is Nintendo's only Online shooter that matters.".

 That certainly helps, but (as you've just said) it gets by fine on its own merits.

That last bolded claim, though, is rather... bold lol. BotW, Odyssey, and eventually a new Smash Bros will probably all sell quite well; it's not out of the question for Splatoon, but that'll be a challenge.
