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.

It's not about liking the games, it's the fact that at least 50% of them are ports that we've played up to over a decade ago. Who cares about the quantity of releases when half of them were already over and done with. This is abysmal third party support and definitely a terrible lineup so far of 2018. 

That's all on the third parties then. Nintendo can only ask so much for support. Third parties are playing catch-up and, with HD development being expensive, you can only develop so much within a 1-2 year time schedule. Make games like Octopath Traveler, Bayonetta 3, SMT V, Mega Man 11, Blade Strangers, and Travis Strikes Back: No More Heroes.

But it's also about perspective. Is there potential for more gamers to play games like TWEWY, Bayonetta 2, Captain Toad, Dragon Quest Builders, Code of Princess, or DKC Tropical Freeze? Possibly, especially since the Switch is a popular console now. Personally, I haven't played a majority of these games being released in 2018 and I'm sure there's are fair amount of people who are like that.
