This. Nintendo's nostalgia factor is like wine: it only gets better with time. I am sure that the lockdown only accentuates this nostalgia factor making people (like myself) yearn for the simpler days of the 80's/90's when life was just fun.
Nintendo's biggest enemy has always been its own ability to produce hardware that gamers and game developers want. People (adults and kids) want to play Nintendo's IP and are just looking for a reason to do so. The Switch hardware being sleek and cool has given people this reason.
