Weak? You must be joking. Launch window (first year, some rumors though):
3D Mario
Zelda BOTW
Sonic 2017
Pikmin 4 (should be)
Mario x Rabbids
Pokemon Stars
Mario Kart 8.5
Splatoon 2
Skyrim Remastered (?)
NBA

Foresight:
Animal Crossing (the last one came out 4 years ago, no Wii U release)
F-Zero?
Retro New IP
Capcom's "big" game? (Monster Hunter?)
EA (?)

Wave Race? Smash Bros. port?


That's for the first year. That's pretty fucking good if you ask me. 3D Mario, Zelda BOTW and Pokemon Stars are already enough to guarantee a great first year.

From that list, the only new game I can get and am interested in is 3D Mario, I hate Rabbids, I have a 3DS for Pokemon Sun&Moon, others are ports or enhanced versions, Sonic I can get on PS4. Skyrim I finished 5 years ago. Why do people say Zelda? I already have a Wii U. It seems so many people didn't have a Wii U and thats why they are fine with the ports (because they never owned and played the games on Wii U). True Nintendo fans support the system no matter the gimmicks, I got the system in 2013 even though I hate the Gamepad so much.

Now many games I bought on Wii U get a better version on Switch, online populations will be dead if they dont allow crossplay(which they likely wont if they introduce small new mechanics) and I'll be forced to upgrade.

I hope whatever Retro is working on is a new AAA IP and lets hope F-Zero and Wave Race come as well.

 

Well first off, you're not only a Wii U owner, so most of the list unsurprisingly does not intrigue you. Simply put, that deflects the initial point of mentioning this potential launch.

However, how can you not value the whole "portability" factor? You own a 3DS, the Switch is essentially a HD portable.

The point is, this lineup is significantly better than Nintendo's average lineup: it's probably their best if all rumors are fulfilled. 

I wouldn't go ahead and assume that the Rabbids x Mario RPG will be bad either. It's definitely a hit or miss if anything; going by rumors it's most plausibly an RPG Mario game with the Rabbids as the main villains. 

(I don't intend to come off as hostile)
