Love the Switch so far.
But I'd say Wii U started with better 3rd party support. I know it died quickly, but it is slow starting up with the Switch.
With Wii U we had:
Zombi U (exclusive)
Mass Effect 3 (a few months late, but people are freaking out over Doom which is over a year old now, and Skyrim which is 6 years old)
Assassin's Creed 3 and 4 launching at the same time as other versions.
2 Call of Duty games that launched at the same time as other versions.
Arkham City (the definitive version IMO, but released 1 year after other versions)
Arkham Origins, launching at the same time as other versions.
Splinter Cell Blacklist, launching at the same time as other versions.
Injustice same time as other versions
2 exclusive Sonic games (Lost World is severely underrated. Boom was a mess)
Watch Dogs (though a few months after initial release; kind of like Wolfenstein 2 will be, which people are freaking out over)
I may be missing a few. But my point is, Switch 3rd party support isn't that fantastic right now. I'm still pessimistic about future support. The Wii U initially sounded very promising pertaining to 3rd parties.
I know the Switch will sell a hell of a lot more. But look at the Wii 3rd party support. It did not have the same heavy hitters as the competition did. I see this happening with the Switch as well, because it is severely lacking in power compared to its competition.
What do you think?

Your list is just that a list. It needs context next to your games to explain why it sucked. Quick off the fly
Mass Effect 3: At the same time Mass Effect Trilogy was announced for other systems. Why woud I buy the 3rd in teh series when I haven't played the first two? Also full price.
Assassins Creed 3? How did that arrive same time. Wasn't AC4 black flag like a launch title? I don't recal AC3 being on the WIi U at all. But AC4 imo was best on Wii U. Definetely best version. THe map on the gamepad made the game so muc better.
Arkham Origins. I seem to recal being told by developer that no DLC will be coming to it versus other versions. So before release they are saying it will be a gimped game. AC City was great, but super old.
Rinse and Repeat
The Wii U was a generation of getting either skipped or some strange gimp in a game taht makes no sense. It's not like lower res or fps or something, but like missing features, ect that make one go "why woudl i buy it on Wii U?"
So far with the switch, all the ports have been complete.
