To be honest, Switch to me looks like the most hardcore game platform Nintendo has made like probably since before the DS.

The only game from them expressly aimed at "non/fringe gamers" was 1,2 Switch for the first 10 months. 

Compare to even the Wii U (Nintendo Land, NSMBU, Sing Party, Game & Wario, Wii Party U, Wii Fit U, Wii Sports Club, Mario & Sonic Olympics in year 1).

Mario is also a good barometer for where Nintendo really sees the system at ... the Wii/Wii U Mario games were more tailored towards the more "fringe" gamer element. Whereas Mario on Switch is going back to the N64/GameCube style of Mario.
