I don't want this to drag on but I think there is little doubt that BotW started out as a WiiU game and ended up delayed so they could move it over to the Switch platform as a launch game.
But that is well established matter.
The Smash comments are just wrong, in so far as it represents the latest in a fighting franchise, so the Switch game has the same relationship with the WiiU/3DS games, as Street Fighter V has with Street Fighter IV.
SSBU was built on the Wii U engine with a few tweaks and improvements. It has all the content of the Wii U version and then added all the fighters and stages from previous games. Far easier, HDifying(if you will) existing levels, characters and movesets than creating all new content. SSBU has the least new content of any previous Smash Bros game. Sakurai kept working on the game once they called it a day on Wii U/3DS.
They left the DLC in a mess on the eShop. The game is still €60 for the Wii U version, the DLC costs over €100 for all of it and that's just for one version, it's more again if you want it for both Wii U and 3DS. You look at that and then the Switch version, it's no surprise it's sold so well, over 12 million copies in little over a month. The Wii U version released after the 3DS version, combined sales are just short of 15 million, with a sales ratio of 2:1 in favour of 3DS.
I think the same thing is happening with Super Mario Maker in the background. That was just let kind of dwindle and evaporate. It's a complete game but there are a load of empty costume slots that they obviously had planned to fill in at some point. That’s going to be an enhanced version of what we got on Wii U with more effort like SSBU than say MK8D.
SSBU isn't a straight up port, it's a well enhanced version, but you can't say it's entirely new. It's kind of a grey area, for me at least.
Edit: Just seen the above comment from TitianGerm, the Switch is an evolved(enhanced port
) Wii U, though worse in many ways. 0 -

But infinitely more popular with the masses and a vastly more successful

Longtime Nintendo Bull Slashes Target, Says Switch has Peaked
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-02-08/longtime-nintendo-bull-slashes-target-says-switch-has-peaked
While Murakami is now the 4th analyst tracked by Bloomberg to have a neutral rating on Nintendo's stock, there are still another 18 who recommend buying their shares. It's interesting to look at the chart:
"His new target price of 26,400 yen is the lowest among all analysts, who on average see shares rising to 47,235 yen."
I don't know if Nintendo can reach that high, their share price seems to be on a declining trend. Those other investors must be banking on the new Pokemon game being absolutely gargantuan.0 -

At least one big game that will 'appeal to fans'.
Few decent games on the horizon as well with Yoshi's Crafted World looking lovely.
And everyone forgets Kirby last year which was a damn fine platformer.
Pokémon will be insane on the system. Smash was a big release but Pokémon will eclipse it.

Yeah Fire Emblem is coming
Shin Megami Tensei 5 down as 2019 but I can see it being delayed. Hope not as SMT4 and Apocalypse were phenomenal, not to mention the remake of Strange Journey. Would be nice to see the game in Unreal engine but with no real videos, how Atlus games do get delayed and the fact all demons are being remodelled for Unreal I'd say late 2019 is a push.
