The comparison to previous Nintendo consoles isn't really relevant unless they are the only consoles you buy. It's library should be compared to current options, ps4, xbox and steam.
Well the OP brought up the Wii U comparison not me, so the assumption is that he has at least some interest in and knowledge of Nintendo games. VC is the only point in Wii U's favour, it pales in comparison in both quantity and quality whether you're looking at first party, third party or indies. There isn't a single genre where Wii U beats Switch. If he doesn't like Nintendo games then that's just me misreading the OP but if that's the case then buying a Switch over the consoles you mentioned without researching it's library is an unbelievable move lol.
