A great game is a great game, it doesn't matter if it's made by an AAA developer or an indie developer. I don't care if a game sells systems or not, what I care about is if the game is fun to me. 

You're not the judge on what is "meh" or "significant".

I find Bayonetta 2 to be an absolute bore, but that doesn't mean it's not a good game. It's just not my cup of tea. The franchise obviously has passionate fans.

Rocket League, Minecraft (it started out as an indie game) and Stardew Valley each sold millions of copies. How many of these "full fat games" of yours can even claim that?  

Enter the Gungeon sold over a million copies on Steam alone. It sold 75K units in less than two weeks on the Switch. Not bad for an indie game, huh?

I'm no less "the judge" than you. Fun/quality depends on the standards of the individual; nothing Nintendo have shown for the first half of this year meets mine. My tastes aren't narrow either, I just like actual substantial new games. Heck, I bought more new games in most Q1-Q2 periods of the freaking Wii U than it looks like I will this year.

Which makes you a minority. 

Plenty of people bought and loved Owlboy - FACT

Celeste has been getting very good previews by different gaming outlets - FACT

Fe looks interesting and has gotten positive responses as well - FACT

Mario Tennis Aces looks like a big step up from the stinking pile of poo that was the Wii U game (story mode, different fields, bosses, etc.) - FACT

Dark Souls (Remastered) is a game loved by many and this is the first time it releases on a (portable) Nintendo console, which kind of makes it a big deal - FACT

Dragon Quest Builders received good reviews on the PS4 and has never been on Nintendo consoles before - FACT

Also keep in mind that most people did not own a Wii U. Only around one million people bought a gem like Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. It's no surprise that Nintendo decided to port it. It will be a new game for many.
