Basically that what Nintendo is doing with 1st party now is their Wii U strategy, it failed then and is failing now, and that Nintendo is going to start releasing Amiibo Festival esc games in the next year or two. |
The Wii U strategy was basically build the system, expect casual pull over from Wii and 3rd parties to find success with a similar platform as what is currently available, which will fill in the blanks while Nintendo's own internal teams adapt to HD development. THAT is why the Wii U failed, the lull between Nintendo's first software (which was somewhat medicore truth be told) and their first major release that couldn't be done on the original Wii was too long. Nintendo though the 3rd party releases would help but the support ended after about a year and the support they did get was often handicapped via no DLC or missing features.
The Switch strategy is the opposite, string along a steady stream of AAA titles and hope third parties see the growth, the sales and jump on board. It is likely to work more with the Japanese publishers since most of them are still on good terms with the Big N but major Western publishers are still going to take a lot to pull and convince to divert resouces to develop on weaker then the current standards set by Xbox One or PS4 base.
