Whether it be direct or indirect, the Switch is still the successor to both the 3DS and the Wii U.
However, support for the Wii U dropped long before the 3DS and moved to the Switch, so that is why I want to differentiate them.
Something like Super Mario Odyssey was in the works for at least 3 years, if not more. Meanwhile in 2017 3DS got Fire Emblem, Metroid, Pokemon, Yoshi etc.
