Basically you can reshuffle the schedules and make them look the same. 2018 lineup (actual) Feb-Bayonetta 2 March-Kirby Star Allies April-Labo May-Tropical Freeze/Hyrule Warriors June-Mario Tennis Aces July-Captain Toad/Octopath Traveler Sept-Torna Oct-Super Mario Party Nov-Pokemon Lets Go Dec-Smash Bros 2020 linuep (reshuffled) Feb-Toyko Mirage Sessions March-Pokemon Mystery Dungeon April-Clubhouse Games May-Pikmin 3/Xenoblade DE June-Paper Mario July-Bravely Default 2 Sept-Age of Calamity Oct-Mario Kart Live Nov-3D All Stars Dec-Animal Crossing |
I think you have to put it into context. At the started of 2018, the Switch wasn't even a year old yet. It had also come off the heels of a big Nintendo blow-out. Ports were more forgivable in 2018 because the system was still new and Nintendo needed to fill in the gaps. It should also be noted that the ports were gap fillers, often in the lighter months of the year. In 2020, the system is turn 3 years old and Nintendo EDA hasn't released much since 2017. Moreover, we have ports as headliners for the holiday season and nothing in sight. It's hard to call 2018 comparable to 2020 when the circumstances were forgivable. There is no reason Nintendo should be releasing ports of old games this late into the Switch's life. They should have new games ready to go. The issue is Nintendo should be performing far better than they actually are.
