As explained in the issue MCPE-35026, the only way to transfer worlds from Minecraft Wii-U to the Switch is to do this :
transfer from: "Minecraft Wii U Edition" to "Minecraft Nintendo Switch Edition" (see: https://help.mojang.com/customer/portal/articles/2865993)
then, transfer from "Minecraft Nintendo Switch Edition" to "Minecraft (bedrock codebase on Switch)"
The problem is that the "Minecraft Nintendo Switch Edition" cannot be found/bought anymore (this version was only digital and it is not available on Nintendo eShop anymore). In this case, as I just bought a new Switch 2019 to my kids for Christmas, there is no possibility to transfer their worlds 😞.
I am a bit worried because I bought :
Minecraft Wii-U
Minecraft 2018 (bedrock) on Switch
... but I cannot buy the digital "Minecraft Nintendo Switch Edition" anymore. In that way, I have no possibility to transfer the worlds from the Wii-U to the Switch...
Is there any plan to allow the transfer : Minecraft Wii U Edition --> Minecraft (bedrock codebase on Switch)?

Hi @Mega_Spud,
This issue is still valid and I would like to know how to transfer : Minecraft Wii U Edition --> Minecraft (bedrock codebase on Switch)?
Sorry for taking so long to respond! Your best shot at transferring your worlds my be to contact community support (linked below) as the Nintendo Switch Edition of Minecraft is no longer supported. Sorry we can't be of more help. 😢
