Whether or not you like the games coming out this year is your opinion, but 2018 is going to outclass 2017 in terms of quantity.

What's interesting about that current 2018. lineup is that around 80% of that lineup is until July, so that basicly means that we yet to start having announcements from August to December, and full 2018. year list will be at least 50% stronger at end.

So yes, Switch 2018. lineup will blow away Switch 2017. lineup in terms of quantity and variety of games, talking about quality, well hardly that we will have any game on pair with Zelda BotW and Mario Odyssey that are one of most critically acclaimed games ever.

I'm not surprised given OP's state, Nintendo is obviously not off to a good start if they are banking on finding a golden nugget over duds among duds ... (a unified development team isn't much of an advantage when it's still just as hard to push out new high production value titles on higher end systems for them)

Most of Switch's notable releases so far are titles from WII U which failed to become system sellers on it's initial platform and nobody is hyped about Mario Tennis Aces since the last time the franchise broke 2M units was back on the N64, Kirby is about as relevant as Yoshi or Luigi are and hardly anybody is pre-ordering Labo so it looks like they read the market wrong again ...

You sound very similar like people that said that Switch will fail. Switch is still selling great and they are keep momentum, Nintendo has plenty of releases on Switch without droughts even there are plenty of ports.

Wii U had great games but all of them come out too late on system, Wii U was consider for fail very early in its first year, so later great games couldnt change nothing for Wii U, but if Wii U had games like MK8, Splatoon, Zelda BotW and 3D Mario in its first year, things would be quite difrent for Wii U. In same time on Switch games like MK8D, Zelda BotW and Splatoon 2 are all huge system seller despite we had Splatoon 1, MK8 and Zelda BotW also on Wii U, not to mentione that Switch already few months ago passed Wii U install base so Wii U ports are practically like brand new games on Switch for evre person exept Wii U owners that will soon become. Games like Kirby, Octopath Traveler and Mario Tennis are not big games, but with Wii U ports, they are enugh to continue Switch momentum and they aactually bringing more variety of Switch lineup. Labo will most likly be biggest Switch release until Smash Bros is launched, and most likly will be quite popular.
