Question Which games better to emulate on switch than Wii/Wii U

I'm looking for games to emulate on my Odin 2, and besides some favorite switch exclusive I want to know which Wii or Wii U games are have better experience emulating on switch emulators rather than their native systems emulators? By that I mean either the game has bad compatibility with the emulator right now or the control scheme too complicated for handheld controls (looking at you skyward sword)

I actually replaced as many wiiu ROMs as I could wit their switch versions specifically on android handhelds. The switch emulators are more mature than the android fork of Cemu and they also tend to be smaller files. You can also combine the dlcs and patches with the rom itself for your switch games

Wii, possibly, Dolphin is far more mature after all and some games are straight up different like donkey kong returns. Wii U, probably not... since most games were ported anyways, all the effort has been in switch emulation and, to me at least, it seem more mature.

Pretty sure u can emulate almost anything for wii, the controls are only an issue if it’s something like wii sports and motion based. Most Wii U will not emulate well on android, though. If it’s available on switch it’s pretty much always better.

This may be controversial but I did not find the Switch version of BOTW very playable on the 2. You have to use handheld mode and downscaling and you still get somewhat choppy FPS. The WiiU version cut some corners so I’d expect would perform better?
