I just hope we get a direct soon, I'm not starved for games at all (or at least definitely won't be in the next few months) but I really want to see what they can confirm for this year. 

I dunno, I'm getting pretty hungry over here. Over the past year there have been 3 major original first party games released (AC, HW, and Oragami King). There's only one on the horizon with Pokemon Snap (and the original was cute but not what I'd call a major game), and maybe you could count Bravely Default and Monster Hunter in there. 

It's been slow, which partially is to be expected since there was a pandemic, but they should be stepping it up soon.

"Over the past year" isn't the current day and time, nor is it the next few months. And that's all I'm talking about. 

I don't particularly care for a lot of the big games releasing like Persona 5 Strikers or Bravely Default II, but I'd be lying if I said Bowser's Fury, Monster Hunter Rise and New Pokemon Snap aren't titles I'm excited for. I'd even go as far as to say the first few months of this year is actually the most packed Switch has ever been in it's first few months in a year (2017 Switch kind of got a pass for releasing in March and I guess you could say 2020 is technically the most impactful for Animal Crossing, but neither were definitely the most consistent for new releases). It's nice to have a 3rd of the year where there's enough big releases that I can say I'm satisfied whilst also not particularly caring for a lot of the new big games.
