Stuff like Kirby, Labo and DKTF didn't move hardware though, not to any significant degree. Their Q1 sales were flaccid as a result of over-reliance on old rope and B-tier titles.

Have we really set the standard for Nintendo so low that we're willing to accept only one top-tier new game from them in an entire year? If we let this behaviour slide, it will continue, and eventually we will never see games on the level of Odyssey or BOTW ever again. 

Sure they did. Would Switch have averaged over 250k each month according to NPD if those games didn't release? Would Switch sell a steady 40-50k each week in Japan without those games? These are very good sales and it's because they had a steady flow of games people want this year.

Are you really trying to decide what is considered top-tier for everyone? The 2018 lineup has been significantly better than last year for me so yeah only one of "Curls top-tier" games is good enough.

Forgive me for actually having standards and expecting a company to produce actual NEW games for its NEW system instead of just endlessly repackaging games from 2014 and throwing out Mario Tennis/Party #45,679 every now and then.
