Half the GBA's library was just ports of ten year old SNES classics. And it worked! Popular games should never be left in a state where they can't sell. Porting older and popular games is one thing Nintendo has always gotten right. Older games often find a brand new audience in gamers that weren't alive at the time of release, or were too young to afford games.
Old ports can't support a system alone though. Just look at what happened to the Vita. Lots of ports, but no new original games. The main meat of a console is always the *new* games that it has on offer. Ports are icing on the cake, not the cake itself.
Just imagine the following Switch ports...
Batman Trilogy (Arkham Knight Origins no way Switch can handle AK, Asylum, and City)
Mass Effect Trilogy
Portal Portable (Portal and Portal 2)
Super Mario Collection (Sunshine, Galaxy and Galaxy 2)
Pikmin Trilogy
Zelda Triple Pack (Twilight Princess, Windwaker, BoTW: All DLC edition)
Fallout Doublepack (Fallout 3 + New Vegas)
GTA Double Pack (IV, and V)
Far Cry Compilation Switch Edition
Dead Space Trilogy
Assassin's Creed Triple Pack
Dark Souls 1 + 2 Collection (Jolly Co-operation via local multi-player!)
Capcom Classsics (Every Capcom Gamecube Game on one cart + Okami)

This + Nintendo's generational offerings == Win.
