It just wasnt filled with mega sellers or games you personally want.

DLC/Labo/ancient ports/borderline shovelware are not good enough.

Kirby, Mario Tennis, Octopath & Mario Party are borderline shovelware? Nope, those are all solid mid-tier titles in terms of score and sales. Yoshi & Fire Emblem were sadly delayed out of this year which would have given them 6 mid-tier games in the Jan-Oct period which is pretty good output.
