I wouldn't be interested but I think millions would.  The issue is that Mario Maker is elegant due to the Wii U's design: the two screens and the stylus being the two most important that spring to mind.  Now they could solve the stylus issue by just packing one in with the game but the fact that the Switch is only a one screen experience still means you have to undock to edit and dock to play on the big screen.  It could still work but it would be a good bit more clunky than the Wii U game.  Which I think is why we didn't see a Maker game in this initial lineup announcement. 

Those are good points.  Hmm...what are the odds that in the future when they supposedly allow other controllers through a firmware update that the GamePad is an allowable peripheral.  I know I'm stacking hypotheticals there, but it presents an intersting opportunity (and far cheaper than buying an additional Switch Tablet).

At any rate I see the delimma with my original suggestion.  Animal Crossing, Pikmin 4, and a New Super Mario Bros. title then.  This was my first idea, but I considered that Mario Maker made NSMB games obsolete.  Evidently not.

I was more expecting a streaming function like the Wii U's only instead of streaming from the console to the gamepad, it would go from the Switch unit to the TV but that's not a thing it seems. 

If I were to pick a companion for Animal Crossing, I would go with something more starkly contrasting like Metroid or Smash Bros or Fire Emblem.
