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.

I thought it would be helpful, one way or the other, for people to see exclusives from those years.
