Because Nintendo this time is managing things different, they have better communication with 3rd party and they trying more to have 3rd party on board because after Wii U they know they need them, because Switch is very modern tech and architecture that's easy to work compared to Wii and Wii U, because with Switch they will have their games in portable for also. Switch for instance has Bethesda on board and they didnt had any game for any Nintendo platform from NES.

Just for record, From Software is listed like Switch partner and supporter, and Laura Kate Dale infos about Switch until now are 100% accurate.

And what does this partner list entail? Ubisoft is also on the list, does that mean Just Dance or Assassin's Creed (which have done terribly on Nintendo platforms)? Skyrim for Switch? A five year old port, is that an amazing show of effort from Bethesda? A bunch of logos and names on a list doesn't really tell us much, no more than Nintendo's Mario game for Apple devices, that would make Nintendo a mobile gaming partner, how does that stack up to this? Does that mean that Nintendo are now throwing their full support behind iPhone, iPad and Mac? Of course it doesn't, so let's calm down and see where it goes first, I'm very, very skeptical of what developers say when it comes to supporting Nintendo consoles, the Wii U was also spoken highly of and many made lofty promises, Ubisoft and EA being the foremost of these (EA famously spoke of an "unprecedented relationship" with Nintendo, it didn't exactly make sparks fly as it turned out).

I'm not trying to paint the picture black, just admonishing some consideration and patience, and a large does of skepticism. How many times do Nintendo fans need to be burnt by developers to stop going nuts over the tiny bones they keep tossing?

We don't know yet, Ubisoft said they have several Switch projects. Fact is that all around Switch is way more postive than it was for Wii U, even that list of partners and supporters is bigger than Wii Us list. Fact that Switch has Bethesda and From Software on board is very positive for Switch, Wii U didnt had them or any previous Nintendo platform.
