1. Same reason why games like Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze and Mario Kart 8 are on the Switch: Nintendo finds it easier and quicker to port games and add in some changes rather than develop a brand new game. Not saying that in a bad way but they're meant to keep us busy while they get brand new games out to us. It's pretty common for Nintendo to port games these days.

2. Very simple. The Wii came right after the Nintendo DS and considering the first New Super Mario Bros. was very successful on the DS, it only makes sense to make a sequel and to make it on the next major system (especially considering the Nintendo Wii was very popular during it's time).
