At the very least if they let me upgrade my existing Wii U digital titles for a 'nominal' fee it would be insta-buy day one.

Is launching a system with the best games from the previous gen viable?

It dawned on me yesterday that Wii U never had an exclusive Zelda. That's pretty sad. Makes me think the Switch won't either when the dust has settled.

But that's the thing; because of what we know about the dock just being a charger/HDMI-out, the Switch is basically a handheld that you can hook up to your TV. And that's a huge selling point in more ways than one. Nintendo have always dominated the handheld market, so when speculating the possible success of the Switch, it's far more accurate to look at the 3DS than the Wii U. I honestly think the Switch will sell to a ton of people who don't own a Wii U. And even if a lot of Switch owners did have a Wii U, what's the harm in having the option of buying enhanced version of Wii U games on a handheld if they want? We've already seen that with Hyrule Warriors and Yoshi's Wooly World, so it's hardly unprecedented.
Why in the world are you assuming those are "enhanced remakes" or whatever? The scope of the changes we've seen so far are far more wide-reaching than just the mere facelift Tomb Raider and The Last of Us got for the PS4's launch.
They're almost certainly sequels running on the same engine, like Galaxy 2 or Majora's Mask.

If you only care for the existing games on Wii U that are being brought to the Switch and not any games going forward then Nintendo has a product for you, it's called the Wii U.
They should let me upgrade ALL my Wii U titles that are re-released for free.
