Are NS third party games utter shit, or it's Ninty gamers that just don't want them and poop on them as soon as they see them?

At this stage I think it's more a matter of third party Switch games just not being that appealing so far. Street Fighter is an overpriced port of a last gen XBLA game, Bomberman is the kind of thing that should be a $10 eshop game rather than a full priced retail release, LEGO City is a 4 year old port, etc.

There simply isn't anything so far that offers even close to the same kind of value as, say, Zelda.

Zelda and MK8 I can totally understand. But can somebody please explain to me how did 1, 2 Switch manage to sell more than Puyo Puyo, Lego City, Dragon Quest Heroes, The Binding of Isaac, Just Dance, Disgaea 5 and Skylanders Imaginators COMBINED!!?

One cant help but wonder: Would 1,2 Switch have sold as much as it did, if it had had another developer's name attached to it?  Like, EA or Ubisoft?
