I dont think that Nintendo problem was quality of games, evre past Nintendo system had quality games, but in some cases like in case of 3DS and especially Wii U didnt had them on time ready, but later even Wii U had quality games even Nintendo had divided resources for 3DS support also. But like you wrote, this time their all resources are focused only on Switch, so they will easily have quality and quantity.

I have to disagree here. Sure, Nintendo's system all had quality games, but as I said: There's a difference between a good / decent game and a masterpiece. Was Nintendoland as good as Wii Sports? Was Mario 3D World as good as Galaxy? Did the Wii U get a Zelda game like Twilight Princess? (Yes, but only when the Switch launched and the console wasn't in production anymore.) And Super Mario Bros. U was simply a rehash of Super Mario Bros. Wii, nothing exciting. We even had games like Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze which was basically the same as Donkey Kong on the Wii but in HD. What I'm getting at is this: The Wii U's software library was full of by-the-numbers games, uninspired ports and a few games like Splatoon that drew attention to the platform. But compared to the years before the Wii U library was nothing to write home about. The 3DS did get better support... after the launch period, again strengthening my point: Nintendo puts out higher quality games when they stand with their backs to the wall. 

Yeah, masterpiece game are very rarely games, and it's even more  rarely than one platform have two of them in first year like Switch. IMO Nintendo Land is better game than Wii Sports, Wii Sports just had huge casual appealing. Mario Galaxy definatly had bigger impact on market but SM3DW was also great game. Like you wrote, Wii U did actualy got even bigger game than Zelda TP. I agree that NSMBU is basically NSMB HD, but DKTF was not DKCR HD and was great game. Also we can mentione Pikmin 3 thats actually best Pikmin game, or Smash Bros 4. and MK8 that are probably best games in franchises, Super Mario Maker is also great game, Splatoon 2, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, great Yoshi game...ad to that some ports like WW/TP HD...so totaly disagree, Wii U had some relly great and must have games, but had short full suport from Nintendo (only around 3 years) beacuse console was fail and Nintendo didnt want to invest any more in failed platform. I would actually arguing that Wii U has more quality games than 3DS if we compare number of quality games compared to number of all games released.
