I never said this was the be all, end all of 3rd party titles, I know Nintendo is missing key titles that could sell well to their audience, I think games like Rocket League or Minecraft would be great additions to Nintendo devices.
A-Train is a series that is 30 years old and has over a dozen entries spanning over a dozen platforms, it's obviously seen as fun and quality to its target demographic which brings me to games based on kids movies/shows. They are aimed directly at children, not games that are suitable for children but aimed at everyone like Minecraft or Mario Kart, games made for the sole purpose of appealing to children. People like u or me do not find them to be fun or quality titles but as long as the target demographic (children) does than that's all that matters.
If u go back to my original post u would see its about the TYPE of games to expect to appear on NX, which is Japanese titles, kid/family friendly titles and indie titles, I simply used the 3DS/Wii U 2015 lineup to show the TYPE of games that Nintendo gets supported with, it wasn't an attempt to show Nintendo's 3rd party support is superior to others.

You're original post mentioned that your list would provide a consistent stream of new releases. I responded thinking that the "consistent stream" you talk about is laughable at best for third party games that span over 2 consoles.
If those are the TYPES of games that the NX has to rely on for third party, then the NX is in trouble. I'm not arguing that the list you gave was inferior to anything, I'm arguing that the NX needs a larger list with larger titles that are not limited to indie games or TV/movie to video game adaptations.
That list is literally missing an entire demographic (say age 13 and up), and it is also missing critical games for its target demographic (minecraft and rocket league)
I would use that list as an indicator that Nintendo needs to change something up or risk another wii u failure

I'll try to explain to you what he's saying. The point isn't to attract 3rd parties, the point is making it easier for Ninty to support. Ninty had done a pretty good job supporting the 3DS but it could obviously be better if they could shift the Wiius resources towards it as well. The healthy stream of games would come from Ninty alone. Any 3rd party support is just gravy, especially the Japanese 3rd party support Ninty receives. WiiU like failure is practically impossible with just Pokemon alone.
