I don't know why "One Smash/MK and Splatoon per generation" makes sense to you but no 3D Mario games.

3D Mario games are built around the console itself. Super Mario 64 was built around the N64 analog stick, Sunshine was set on Delphino island, shaped like a dolphin, because the gamecube's project name was Dolphin, Super Mario Galaxy's gameplay is build around the Wiimotes and Super Mario Odyssey is meant to be playable with the joycons and to be played in short sessions, to fit the hybrid form of the console.

A 3D Mario game is the way Nintendo tell us how he wants us to play games on its console.

Because I already answered you!? Again, Smash is game similar to MK and now Splatoon, one IP per generation where they have huge focus on online and where Nintendo keep supporting game with updates through almost hole life span. SM3DW and generaly 3D Zelda are opoosite games, we can easily have multiply 3D Mario and 3D Zelda game per platform. I 100% certain that Switch will get onother new 3D Mario and 3D Zelda, while no way it will get onother Splatoon and onother Smash game, maybe just onother MK game simple because MK8D is a Wii U game.

Lol, almost every N64 games uses N64 analog stick, point that Sunshine was set on Delphino island doent meant that game cant be ported to onother platform, most Nintendo Wii games use Wii Remote same like Zeldas on Wii, what you wrote for Super Mario Odyssey can be said for almost any other Nintendo Switch game. Every game that you mention could easily be ported and work on other platforms, for instance Mario Galaxy works on Nvidia Tegra Tablet.

No, 3D Mario is game like any other game, its huge and popular IP, but there is nothing about 3D Mario that point it needs to be bound for one platform espacily today when Nintendo massively porting games, and you already have example of Mario 64 DS.

You clearly missed my point but nevermind. And the fact that you can't name one 3D Mario game ported to an other home console proves also my point. It's never gonna happen, 3D Mario games aren'ts like other games.

Super Mario 64 was ported to the DS. Seems that the N64 gamepad wasn't that essential to prevent a port to a newer popular Nintendo device.

Super Mario Galaxy was officially ported to the Nvidia Shield console.  Seems that the Wiimotes weren't that essential to gameplay to prevent a port to the new Nintendo partner. Super Mario Galaxy 2 will probably follow.

The Switch is currently very popular and every Nintendo software seems to sell very well, no matter if they are new or older. The Joy-Cons are very flexible in their use with their 2 analog sticks and many buttons and motion detection and touch screen input via the main device... almost if Nintendo planned from the start to make the Switch ultimately port-friendly to all games of all their previous consoles. The Switch input possibilities include NES, SNES, N64, GameCube, Wii (thanks to motion sensors) and WiiU games.
