WiiU.
Not only was it the platform that gave the Switch it's best games...
But as a hardware concept it laid the foundations of the Switch with it's Tablet gaming credentials being the first "Nintendo Hybrid" device.

I would say the Wii in that case, since the Wii started Nintendo's new trend not to chase the power consoles and laid the groundwork for unifying handheld and console in one Hybrid device. 

Plus without the success of the Wii, the WiiU wouldn't have all those games to give to Switch.

Switch actually went backwards on the WiiU. No more secondary screen, no more map / inventory in your hand. WiiU was a dual screen system.

The WiiU being a hybrid console doesn't actually have to game using "dual screens" it can just run all it's games on the handheld and simply switch between the TV and handheld with the press of a button. (Get it, Switch?)

That is the foundation of the entire Switch's crux on what made it a success.

The Switch's game library largely consisted of copies/ports of the WiiU's titles which became some of the best selling games of all time and in Nintendo's history. I.E. Mario Kart 8, Breath of the Wild, Super Mario 3D World, Hyrule Warriors, Xenoblade Chronicles, Captain Toad, Tokyo Mirage, Tropical Freeze and more.
