It's always great to give a second opportunity to good games, why not? A lot of people didn't play them in the first chance, besides, sometimes the developers bring bonus and extra content.

WiiU version opened just over 100k, so this version opened way higher.

Well, if you live under a Rock with mommy and daddy and you are willing to make the same mistakes and don't learn about Wii U's history and/or compare sales for future prediction... could be, but most people care about Wii U vs Switch titles sales.

The comparison is relevant. Plus the game wouldn't exist without the Wii u. So it kind of matters.
