Shoot, it's not like first party support was robust from the start either!

Most of those games take over a year to release in Japan, and more than a year in the West. The system released in November/December 2004. Animal Crossing (big deal) and Mario Kart (equally big deal) took a full year to release. Brain Age (big deal as well) was over a year after release. The rest of those titles were either minor or modest releases. Frankly, it took a year for anything worthwhile to come out from Nintendo for the system, which is not exactly robust support in my mind.
