I'd personally pick Twilight Princess and Galaxy over BotW and Odyssey.  But that's just me.  Let's take a look at the games available for before calling a person crazy.  Just Nintendo published games:

Wii:

1. Twilight Princess
2. Wii Sports
3. Mario Galaxy
4. Super Paper Mario
5. Metroid Prime 4
6. WarioWare: Smooth Moves
7. Mario Strikers Charged
8. Mario Party 8
9. Wii Play
10. Donkey Kong Barrel Blast
11. Big Brain Academy
12. Pokémon Battle Revolution

If someone wants to say that's better than the Switch's first year, I can't really argue with them.  It's close enough to be a matter of taste.

Switch: 

1. Breath of the wild

2. 1-2 switch

3. Mario kart 8 deluxe

4. Splatoon 2

5. Arms

6. Pokken tournament dx 

7. Mario + rabbids 

8. Mario Odyssey 

9. Xenoblade 2

10. Bayonetta 1

11. Bayonetta 2

12. Fire emblem warriors

13. Snipperclips

14. Flip wars

And Kirby and hyrule warriors just about go over the year mark. Overall I'd say it's close. But I think the switch has a bit more variety. The Wii line up does a great job of playing to the Wiis strengths with games that use the motion controls and are fun to play in a group.

 

Mario, Metroid, Zelda, and Pokemon all in the first year would normally make any fan of gaming say that is the best single year in Nintendo's history. Since it is Wii though, it is a lineup that does a great job of, "playing to Wii's strengths with games that use motion controls and are fun to play in groups"? Foh with that bullshit. It is close, sure, but Wii has the higher quality lineup. If Switch had Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Pokemon all in its first year, people would have absolutely no problem saying it was the best first year in Nintendo's history. However, Wii gets points taken away because it is Wii. Not gonna be able to do it.
