Wii U to Switch or 3DS to Switch for that matter sounds so wrong to me. While we certainly got quite the upgrade in terms of catalogue, we lost SO MUCH in the process:
- Free online
- Virtual Console
- 3D without glasses
- Actual portable devices that could fit on your pockets
- The ability to browse the internet and/or perform side tasks (write notes for example) while gaming on the same device
- Dual Screen gaming (losing unique gameplay conepts and styles, something very aparent with Wii U/DS/3DS ports/remakes for Switch/Switch 2)
- Accurate pointer controls
- Related to the previous two points: inferior ports/remakes that presents themselves as "Deluxe" versions or outright replacements
- Lesser scope games that would come to traditional Nintendo handhelds for 39.99-44.99 suddenly sold at 59.99 just because "the Switch is a home console now".
And probably many more that I'm forgetting about right now. So no, I don't see the Switch as "one of the biggest improvements over its predecessor". In many aspects, quite the contrary actually (and I still love the Switch/Switch 2 mind you).
