Nintendos 2018 Line up is pretty boring for me, so far

I am withholding my judgement of the year as a whole until after E3, but so far their 2018 lineup is looking very poor.

Almost everything announced or released so far is either an ancient port or looks mediocre to bad. There is nothing shown so far on the level of games like Splatoon 2, Xenoblade 2, or Kingdom Battle. At this rate, this year might end up ranking below Wii U's 2013, 2014, and 2015 for me.

Fingers crossed they come out all guns blazing at E3 and announce some new A-tier games for August-December.

Crash, South Park and little nightmares came out in 2017. Far from ancient, I would say. And by "bad", you mean that sushi game right? Kirby looks like Kirby, and Mario Tennis Aces looks to be a huge huge improvement on Ultra Smash, especially with the new story mode. And even as a person that is not into rpg's, Octopath looks gorgeous. 

I can totally admit that we dont have enough brand-new games. 100% right.

However, none of those games are inherently "bad". The only case could be the sushi game.

Yeah, it's actually a pretty solid lineup for the first half of the year, minus the lack of new AAA third parties.

I try to avoid being an all out Nintendo apologist and even try and go out of my way to criticize them or call them out when they screw up (Labo anyone?), but this genuinely seems like a strong lineup, at least for those who don't own a Ps4/Xb One AND Wii U. Even I own(ed) a Wii U and have an XB One and still found many games I'd like to try from this list.
