As an avid 3DS gamer I'd say the transition to the Switch was formidable in any case cuz the reality of it is that the WiiU was basically dead by the end of 2015. So the transition to that took them more than a year, even then they had to use part of their previous library on the WiiU to make up for the holes it could've had in it's first to second year schedule.

The GC to Wii had actually quite the smooth transition too going back from memories because they actually decided to make the Wii into the GC + basically. To me in the beginning, these two consoles were almost indistinguishable.

On the handheld side, the whole era of GB to GBA and finally DS was almost flawless

Yeah for the most part their handheld transitions have been more seamless in that the old system isn't killed off prematurely and even lives on for a while beside the new one, yet without depriving the replacement of support and system sellers.

Even 3DS continued to get games well into 2019.
