Honestly, I'd say the Switch is the most viable console for kids right now. You have your NES and SNES classics that are part of the service. It offers many of the same games that the Wii U offers (Toad Tracker, New Super Mario Bros) plus a lot of acclaimed new titles. Since it's basically a hybrid console, you'll also get mainline Pokemon games. And you don't have to worry about the wonkiness of some of the Wii U features.
I know you're trying to avoid it but it would be my recommendation. Or you could always just buy the NES and SNES mini consoles if you just want a simple 2 player system.

I know this is going to sound like an extremely stupid question axum but can I set up the switch as a home console and let the kids play with the pro controllers  instead of the portable tablet-like controllers? Are all games playable with just a traditional controller and television-set? I'm afraid of purchasing games that are mandatory tablet.

Soren. Thank you for the amazing suggestions. I'm going to make the purchase tomorrow but thanks to axumblade, I'm considering the switch instead of WiiU. I'm assuming all the games you listed can be played on the switch? 

The UAE just announced the shutdown of all non essential stores... so I'm going to have to do this sooner than I thought
