To be honest, it doesn't and shouldn't matter. If you have Wii U games, then there's a very good chance that you already have a Wii U. If that is so, then what's the point of having backwards compatibility on the Switch for it?
I don't mind too much about backwards compatibility in general since, like I said, you can just either buy the console for the game, or you'll probably already have the console. It's just not needed, since then it would just be pointless to buy the original console for it.
It also doesn't make sense to have backwards compatibility imo since, take Wii/Wii U for example. To play Wii games on your Wii U it was really weird since some games allowed you to have both screens (of course only utilising one) or one most it switches off your game pad and you have to use the TV + Wii remotes. In my mind, that's just pointless because then what's the point? If it just forces you to play it like the original, intended console, then why not just play it on what it's supposed to be played on?
You can't really expect Nintendo to implement backwards compatibility in every single one of their consoles. I'm not too bothered about not being able to play Wii U games on a Switch; I'm most likely not gonna pick up the Wii U titles I've already beaten. If you really want to play Wii U games, then keep your console if you have to (Although, I think most gamers might sell their Wii U to pay towards the Switch, in that case, I can't really argue that point). xD
(Jeeze I can't help but respond even if it's probably not towards me. Apologies) Didn't say they should put BW compatibility in every system (the very fact that some systems lack it shows) nor did I say the Switch should be BW compatible with the Wii U (Mainly because that actually would be too much since the system is portable and cart-based, two very bad things for discs. Kind of surprised that the 3DS wasn't put in however but meh...)
Simply put, I'm just saying BW compatibility in a nutshell is far from useless and has its practical applications. If nothing else, it's a nice bonus to compliment the system.
