Wow!!! it is great news to know Nintendo platform getting Mario, Zelda & Pokemon games... 

I get that you're making a joke, but the big deal isn't these series coming to Switch, it's how early in its life they are releasing. For comparison, here is Wii U

3D Mario-1 year after launch

Mario Kart-1.5 years after launch

Smash Bros-2 years after launch

Splatoon-2.5 years after launch

Pokemon-no mainline title

Zelda-over 4 years after launch

The big titles were too few and far in between on Wii U to gain & maintain any strong momentum.

Switch getting an entry of all those big franchises in the first year should allow it to sell very strong right out of the gate.

Indeed. Remember all those people who flocked to the Super NES for Super Mario World?
