Short Version: It's a Wii-U (Gaming)

I wouldn't even mind if a bunch of Switch's launch lineup are remastered Wii U classics like Splatoon, Mario Maker, Smash, and so forth with a fully-functional unified online service akin to Live or PSN.

As much as I hate that trend (and would love to just see backwards compatibility be a thing), this is the one case where I wouldn't mind. I also skipped out on a Wii U, despite it having some appealing looking games. If I get the Switch and can also pick up the best of the Wii U catalog, I'd be down. Especially Mario Maker. That alone damn near sold me a Wii U.

Last year was a very convincing time to buy a Wii U with Mario Maker and Splatoon being such amazing looking games. Unfortunately for them the NX was a known item on the horizon so any interest waned absolutely, at least for me. In addition to a stellar original launch lineup, if they have those games readily available on day one I'm buying this console as soon as possible if it's at a fair price.
