I'm beginning to think Switch's 2021-2023 will mirror Wii's 2011-2012.

Was this supposed to make me change my mind? Beacuse it didn't. Also I don't comment 2019, because that year was good. Now, I always considered Nintendo the best publisher and best 1st party out there. But now if years like 2020 (and partially 2018) mostly made of ports, remakes with little changes, spin offs and low effort releases are considered good by its fanbase, I'm starting to question this.

Isn't this a little contradictory? part of 2018 was not good.... 2019 That was good.... 2020 not good.... so if 2019 was good, that should have already eradicated the part of 2018 from not being good. They are the best 1st Party company out there but they need to make the most of things and if an IP suffered because of a poor console performance it is good to re-release it for the mass to enjoy it. Wait till the end of 2021 to make the decision if they are no longer the best 1st party publisher that exist. you will be surprised.
