It's still gonna take some time, especially for the software development teams who have been working on handheld titles. Not sure how much they learned about HD development at the same time as the teams who were making HD games. They still have to get used to actually programming, engineering, and designing under more expensive and more complicated hardware compared to the 3DS. And new HD games are still gonna be in development for at least a few years. When you look at upcoming PS4 games like God of War, Spiderman, and The Last of Us 2, it will take them about 3 years of development (about 4 if TLOU2 releases in 2019) before they eventually release, even though they were officially announced a year or two earlier from their release. Who knows how long some of these new games on the Switch have been under development.

Sure this is a valid point but lets consider both Zelda and Mario.
2 groups do handheld Zeldas. MM3D/ TH were in 2015 (co-developed) and ALBW was 2013.
Mario 3D World was 2013. Mario Maker was 2015. Supposedly these 2 studios are not the Odyssey studio? Or the MM team is?
I think either way, surely the other 2 teams must have been in HD development for a while after their last Zelda/ Mario games. I acknowledge that maybe I am wrong on my info here.

I don’t know much either. I don’t have an uncle who works for Nintendo who can see how Nintendo trains their 3DS software teams into HD. :P
