Well its not complicated.
1)Complaining that most of the Q1/2 titles shown off are late ports of games released 2 years ago is completely fair. These are old games and from Nintendo's side there are few new ones.
2)At the same time complaining that said company is releasing new games EXCLUSIVELY on older platforms is also fair. There are several completely new games that Nintendo could make cross platform. recently I was dissappointed that Metroid, DIllion, detective Pikachu and Ever Oasis are 3DS exclusives when I find them more interesting then most of the Switch line up.
3)In line with this its also fair to complain that an iconic 17 year old game like Luigi's Mansion is coming to 3DS but not the Switch. Sure its a old port, but lets be clear, no one is ever complaining about the existence of a ports and saying they don't want any on a platform. That would be silly and equivalent to complaining about the virtual console.
When people are complaining about ports they're annoyed about lack of new games and the fact that ports take up so much of the calender releases and spotlight on something like Nintendo Direct. If Nintendo showed Metroid Prime 4, Animal Crossing, Pikmin 4 and a New IP, no one would be complaining about ports. The more games the merrier so if Nintendo are going to port Luigi's Mansion of course people will prefer to have it on the modern console they're currently playing and not their dated 3DS.
OP: As mentioned there are a couple of games that dissapointment me but at the same time I think its fair that Nintendo doesn't polut the Switch with games made with the 3DS hardware and dual screen in mind delaying production of said games on their native platform and possibly giving the wrong impression of the Switch. I would hope that we see 3DS emulation when VC launches on the Switch.
