More than any of the other current gen consoles had to offer by way of exclusives based on your criteria in two years.  And as for good/great current gen multiplats...

 

Ys VIII

Valkeria Chronicles 4

DOOM

Wolfenstein 2

South Park Fractured But Whole

Disgaea 5

NBA 2k18

NBA 2k19

Starlink

Dragonball FighterZ

Dragonball Xenoverse 2

Crash N Sane

Mega Man 11

Attack on Titan

Sonic Mania

And Various JRPGs

 

So even by only going by your criteria, the Switch has a solid library so far just off of the top of my head.  I took the liberty of excluding last gen ports on other systems as well, or this list could have easily doubled.  If you applied the same rules to the PS4 and X1, the list would be much smaller than what you see here so I would say that is pretty good.  But this is not about them I only listed these to help you out based on your criteria.  Take away your limitations, and what you are left with is one fantastic library for only 2 years on the market.  There is a lot to play on Switch, albiet the only real disappointment being the lack of high graphical 3rd party multiplats like Red Dead or Battlefield V.

 

Honestly I don't find your list specially convincing. There are some great games, the one I already possess, but not much more. Let's go is "my first pokemon" targeted for Go player, Fire emblem warrior is a spin off and dynasty warrior like. Super Mario Party is probably great if you want to play party games with your children though.

The traditionnal Nintendo high quality games, and other exciting games have been lacking severly in 2018. Second half of 2019 look way better.

In terms of traditional higher quality Nintendo games, yeah the first half of 2018 was a bust.  Smash helped out at the end, but 2017 and 2019 are clearly the heavier hitting years when it comes to Nintendo games for sure.  I was just listing off my opinions to compare and contrast with yours is all.  I had a lot to play 3rd party wise on Switch, so I still had a lot to play.  If those games do not suit you and you want traditional Nintendo games or you have a PS4/X1 and portability is not a factor for you, I can see your disappointment.

 

Fire Emblem Warriors being a Dynasty Warriors spin off does not make it a bad game.  It is a very good game and actually better than most Dynasty Warrior games/spin offs.  But of you do not like those games, then you do not like those games.  It was not in your criteria so I listed it.

 

Super Mario Party is great...if you have people to play with.  I play with my son and his friend almost everyday now and have a blast.  It is fully functional solo, but you will not have near as much fun.
