The Switch is first and foremost a handheld. Nintendo is the only one that wants to call it a console, and it's being judged as one becuase of it. As a handheld, things have never been better. There was never much of a value proposition for the Switch as a Wii U owner. You either bought because you wanted portability or becuase you wanted to be able to play the latest Nintendo games. The situations aren't the same. The Wii U was a full fat console going for the Wii approach without a killer gimmick. 

I know what Switch is... check my posting history. Second, Switch is more capable than Wii U, even as a portable so my comparison is fair and valid. Hell, Switch has improved on the Wii U ports it has recieved.

Your other points have nothing to do with anything. You completely avoided the crux of my post which is to say if I told you Wii U got this exact same port, being a weaker console than Switch is, would it be well recieved? Should people be claiming Nintendo has solved their third party problems despite the game being:

Overpriced.

Lacking content.

Sub par graphically.

Reduced in gameplay by 50%.

Released more than a year later.

Basically what I am saying is that the standards have changed because people actually like Switch. They adjust the narrative as things go along. Now, playing it portably is a big selling point for some people, but a lot of people on this very site argue with me every single day that this console is a home console or even a hybrid (laughable) and those same people are willing to accept games that they would never accept on Wii U

I would have been blown away by Doom on WiiU even with the shortcomings. I'd understand why considering the WiiU's limitations compared to the X1/PS4.

and are even going as far as to claim Nintendo is back with third party developers despite the same issues showing up and the number of games being significantly lower.

Same issues?... Did WiiU ever get an NBA 2k game or Fifa game or Doom 2016? There are issues, sure, seeing as how the Switch is a completely different beast than X1/PS4 but that's tech for ya: there are tradeoffs when you shrink the device to such a degree and design it to operate off of a battery.

If you don't want to say that Nintendo is back with third parties, that's fine but I feel things have certainly improved.
