I think most Wii U ports will sell better on Switch.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe & Pokken Tournament DX are both close to doing so and i think Bayonetta 2, Tropical Freeze & Hyrule Warriors have a strong shot of doing it as well.

The only one I am not sure about is Bayonetta 2.

Hyrule Warriors is a crossover game and those depend on the popularity of their origins. Zelda has experienced an enormous rise with Breath of the Wild.

Tropical Freeze has a very low hurdle to clear. It was an old school Nintendo game on a new school Nintendo console, so the audience wasn't there.

The Switch audience seems to be more receptive to "hardcore" M rated titles so far with games like DOOM & Skyrim doing well on the platform so i think Bayo 2 can do it. This site has it at 850k on Wii U but in reality its probably a good deal lower than that.

 

Yeah with the popularity of BotW pushing the franchise to new heights, HW should get a pretty good amount of new players.

 

Tropical Freeze isnt just going to pass the original but smash it, i think 3+ million over time is possible.
