I'd give it a C. There were definitely a couple of very high quality new releases, Animal Crossing is great, and Origami King could honestly be considered a hidden gem. I understand the general disappointment behind it and I don't think it's necessarily as deep mechanically as the classic games, but it's incredibly rare to play a game with that much love and care put into every single tiny detail, and it also has amazing dialogue and comedy, some of the most enjoyable boss battles in any game I've ever played, and an AMAZING soundtrack. So that alone puts Nintendo's 2020 up a fair bit.
Otherwise, it's basically been rereleases and small budget games like Clubhouse Games. Some of them are very good, Xenoblade has a dedicated fanbase, and Pikmin 3 is in my opinion one of Nintendo's greatest games ever released, but it's still not nearly as nice as new content. Age of Calamity is next month but that's it. I guess Mario Kart Live might be cool for those who are willing to spend the money on it.
Overall I think 2018 was a worse year for the Switch, but it felt very lacking compared to 2019 or 2017.
