Plenty of games coming up that I'm interested in:
- South Park: Fractured But Whole
- Dark Souls: Remastered
- Mario Tennis Aces
- Octopath Traveler
- Crash Bandicoot: N'sane Trilogy
- Okami HD
- Hollow Knight
- Undertale
- Super Smash Bros. for Switch

I am withholding my judgement of the year as a whole until after E3, but so far their 2018 lineup is looking very poor.
Almost everything announced or released so far is either an ancient port or looks mediocre to bad. There is nothing shown so far on the level of games like Splatoon 2, Xenoblade 2, or Kingdom Battle. At this rate, this year might end up ranking below Wii U's 2013, 2014, and 2015 for me.
Fingers crossed they come out all guns blazing at E3 and announce some new A-tier games for August-December.

Crash, South Park and little nightmares came out in 2017. Far from ancient, I would say. And by "bad", you mean that sushi game right? Kirby looks like Kirby, and Mario Tennis Aces looks to be a huge huge improvement on Ultra Smash, especially with the new story mode. And even as a person that is not into rpg's, Octopath looks gorgeous.
I can totally admit that we dont have enough brand-new games. 100% right.
However, none of those games are inherently "bad". The only case could be the sushi game.
Bet with Intrinsic:
The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.

I own the Crash Bandicoot games on PS1, and I feel like the 1990s can fairly be called "ancient" at this point. ;)
I strongly dislike South Park, and Little Nightmares, Kirby, and Mario Tennis look meh. Octopath does have a nice art style, but turn-based combat just isn't fun for me.
Admittedly it's not all doom and gloom; Wolfenstein 2 I am keen for, as it's still just a few months old and looks fantastic. But it's nowhere to be seen at the moment and might not be coming until November if Nintendo reserve that month for the third parties like they did last year. I am also excited for the Octo Expansion for Splatoon 2, but that's also several months away.

Now add Smash to the list, and repeat: "the lineup isn't for me, therefore it sucks". |
I'm allowed to have standards.

You might not know, but they're also allowed to be good. |
What constitutes "good" is subjective; since video games are fundamentally entertainment, I base my assessment of "good" on whether something succeeds in its bid to entertain me.

Whether or not you like the games coming out this year is your opinion, but 2018 is going to outclass 2017 in terms of quantity.

So surely you should be able to understand that other people might find different things "good"? |
Of course, I have only ever proffered my opinion, I don't expect everyone to agree with it.

You're going off the rails again. I remember last year.
