Don't like sports games, Kirby/Owlboy/Celeste look meh, would've bought Dark Souls on 360 back in 2011 if I wanted it. Fe does look mildly interesting, but I've been burned before on indie games that look interesting on the surface but end up being a bore.

If the answer is "lower your standards" that's a pretty damning indictment of the Switch's Q1-Q2.

Owlboy has 88% on metacritic (and is influenced by games like Metroid and Zelda). Celeste will score high as well, I'm sure of that. It also has a godly soundtrack.  

Maybe you should have a standard in the first place. 

It's not a Switch problem that your gaming tastes are incredibly narrow.

I've been burned by AAA games as well before, doesn't mean I'm going to skip every single AAA game out there because of it. 

Metacritic means bugger all, plenty of games I've played with a 90+ Meta have been tedious slogs.

Indies can't replace full fat games, just like trail mix or a snack bar can't replace a substantial meal.

Getting only 2 significant new games in half a year is a Switch problem.
