No problem. I ask because I haven't entered but seem a thread of someone complaining about the bleakness of releases announced for Switch so far this year even though we have already had ACNH and Paper Mario with both doing from good to great on reception and sales.

Nintendo has been stingier than usual with game announcements this year.  Yet at the same time when they do announce a game it's likely launching in just 2 months.  So you get this feeling by some that Nintendo is slacking on games because you can't see a list that has dates 8-12 months ahead while still getting new games.

The effect of bulking up a list to show 10-20 games have the impression that they are doing more, even if 80% of those you probably won't care or play when release versus Nintendo keeping it short and focused on what is coming near, when comparing it is easy to see why people would think Nintendo isn't doing much.
