For all the games they showed off during the trailer, none of them were originally developed with the Switch in mind. Mario Kart is definitely an enhanced port, as is Zelda Splatoon is probably one as well. Skyrim and NBA were developed for non-Nintendo systems. And Mario Switch almost certainly was originally being worked on as a Wii U game before the Wii I's failure forced Nintendo to move it to the switch. A ton of Nintendo's first party offerings during the first year are probably going to be games that were meant for the Wii U.

This may be the first time since Rogue Leader that third party games give a better indication of a Nintendo system's power than the first party games if the Switch actually gets the kind of multiplats the Wii U never could.
