You're not making sense here. The DS had the GBA hardware inside it. The Wii and WiiU had the Gamecube hardware inside it. The 3DS had the DS hardware inside it. The original 60GB PS3 had the PS2 hardware inside it. That allowed for backwards compatibility.

The Switch can't have WiiU hardware inside it because a) it'd be huge to hold in order to have the WiiU specific hardware and b) it doesn't have optical media, so none of the WiiU physical games would work anyway.

If we're talking software backwards compatibility with older systems, then thats basically eshop and Virtual Console. Many are hoping that this transfers.

why would it have wii u hardware in it?

Each amiibo has random IVs so you have to buy hundreds to get competitive stats.

Satan. Though he typically goes by Mario around these parts. Nintendo's strategy of simply attaching older consoles to make a more powerful one may seem lazy, but it also means that if you want your Switch to be as powerful as other consoles, all you have to do is buy two of them and find some duct tape. Alternatively you can just set your Switch in front of your Wii U and jiggle it around a bit so it seems alive. When your Wii U sees this, it will seize and devour the switch, allowing it to morph into the most powerful console yet! (Do not feed a PS Vita to a Wii U, however. It will get sick and spew runny poo poo for days)

Alternatively, if the Switch isn't powerful enough for you, just paint a red racing stripe on it. You know, so it goes faster. A lightning bolt or flames will also work. For an extra kick you could always use a nitro system, but those only work if you scream "IMMORTAN!" at the top of your lungs every time you engage them, so if you're trying to run a fairly demanding game you could end up losing your voice.
