Its all about what we like. I don't like Kirby. I don't like Yoshi. I'm not interested in Mario Tennis, Animal Crossing or Smash Bros. So for me they wouldn't change anything. But the people who do like them will probably have a great 2018. Kirby might be a new Mario like hype game for them.

You kinda have to see it from other peoples view. Nintendo(or any other company for that matter) cant fully satisfy every single fan every single year. I give them some room here because in 2017 they did cater to me and fans like me. And with stuff like Bayonetta 3 and Metroid Prime 4, they will keep on catering to fans like me.

With a good supply of games though, there is something for just about everyone. This was the case for 2017. The Q1-2 lineup announced so far simply doesn't offer enough big new games. If you don't love Kirby, Mario Tennis, or re-releases/indies, there's simply nothing on offer. 

And even totally disregarding my own tastes, none of the games they have announced thus far are system sellers, which is an issue as going 6 months without a system seller isn't good for a platform's sales momentum.

Well if you don't like Mario, Zelda, Splatoon, Xenoblade or Mario Kart, there wasn't any big reason to get the Switch in 2017 either... Maybe Kirby was what you were waiting for. Maybe Mario Tennis is what you wanted. Who knows? Cant have big system sellers every month or two. Also we don't know every game that's coming to the Switch in the first 6 months. I don't think this Direct was everything that's coming. I would rather have several good smaller games than a big game or two in half a year anyway.
