And how many of these non-ports which come to mind were released in the first 12 - 18 months of the system?

Here are the NES games of its first 18 months:

30 games after 18 months, and most of the better ones are ports from arcade:

 

So where are the NES games of the first years that come to mind and aren't ports?

Such a small selection after 1.5 years (a handful of good titles and a total of 30 games) would be unacceptable today, especially with that much competition.

Of course the library has to be enhanced by good titles ported from other systems.

Do a list of all the 4 year old ports Nintendo brought to the SNES, N64 and GC. I'd wager Switch has already beat them.....combined.

Why not comparing the number of new games per year? What does it matter how many additional ports from former gens are also available to the new system?

Or don't you care about the number of good new games as long as there are few ports?
