Even the remasters from older games on the WiiU would be great to see going to the Switch, imagine Twilight Princess or Wind Waker on a portable machine.

My body is ready.

 

As someone who skipped the Wii U (the first Nintendo portable or home system I have passed on) I love the idea of all those Wii U titles on the go as I play handhelds a lot (3DS and PSV have had major play time).

Aye nuts actually thinking about it, had and still have NES, SNES, N64, GC, Wii, GBP, GBC, GBA, GBASP, GBAMicro, DSlite, 3DSXL and Switch. This puts the Wii-U in line with the popularity of the Nintendo machine which actually caused blindness from playing its 13 or so games for me.

I would think there is a a good number of people who would have loved to support the WiiU but just simply couldn't get behind what was a fairly rough machine from the off, if Nintendo salvage all the decent first party software from the platform and move it over the to Switch with Deluxe editions then the WiiU will take a strange place in history of consoles as basically a "not quite there" tech demo of the Switch.
