well to be fair Splatoon 2 is likely mostly just Splatoon with a few added features, Mario Kart is an updated port. I wouldn't go bragging about game library at this point, 2/5 are kind of throaways, one may or may not actually come out in 2016 (Xeno), and honestly 5 solid games for a console's WHOLE year is nothing to brag about IMO |
For exclusives the Switch's first calendar year is pretty darn impressive actually. Compares very strongly against what the PS4 and Xbone had, assuming all goes to plan. The question is 3rd parties.
Currently targetting this year is Zelda, ARMS, Splatoon 2, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Fire Emblem Warriors, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Super Mario Odyssey, and FAST RMX (the only digital title I am counting here). For a first 10 months thats darn good.
Also, Splatoon 2 is not just Splatoon with a few bits and bobs. We saw in the Treehouse stream it has new weapons that bring new mechanics, entirely new and unique special weapons, and entirely new campaign, new maps, and I believe was already confirmed to get new modes. Even the hub city is entirely different, it is a 100% independent sequel.
