We don't talk about labo...

The first rule of labo is that we don't talk about labo...

Considering how strong Nintendo started the Switch's 1st year, it shouldn't be so surprising that Nintendo would slow down a little bit. Sure, they pulled their resources into one system, but it's different compared to when they were making games for a console and a handheld. If the the majority of their 1st party games are going to be of console quality, that's going to take some time to consistently make good quality games. They're not just going to magically make games like BotW, XC2 and MO every year. These things take time, and some of those efforts will show next year. 3rd parties need to pick up the pace, haha.

This. Nintendo combining their resources to one console never necessarily meant that it'd happen overnight, nor does it mean we'll see say, 3D Land and Odyssey on the same system. Big Switch titles will require more development resources than Big 3DS titles. But that also means that said big titles can be optimized for both home console and handheld play, and can free up resources for more unique ideas as well, so in a way, it everything evens out. 

2018 was good. 2019 setting to blow it out of the water though at this current time.

My point is there is no "mostly Wii U ports" this year.

No, Switch start looking like real unified platform for Nintendo, not just like handheld.
It seems that 2019. will be generally stronger year for Switch regardless games than 2017. was.

Yeah, it's still a game, but I got a chuckle out of this one as well. 

This is true.  In fact, seeing how many games were cross gen or ports during the 2 years of the PS4 or X1, I do not see how anyone can rightfully complain about them.  I had plenty of current gen 3rd party content to keep me busy too.

However, there is no denying this was a subpar year overall.  2017 was fantastic, this year was just ok.  Next will blow 2017 out of the water though.

Not really relevant or important for the discussion, but the series started on the N64.
