I understand cross-gen, Twilight Princess was cross-gen, as was BOTW. But you said Nintendo prefers later remasters. Which wasn't really much of a thing before Switch with the WiiU remasters. That's all what I said. And as I said, we have Ghost of Tsushima as the lastest example that other companies do that as well.

Other consoles have more Cross Gen titles than Nintendo though, even if they are mostly third parties. I mean, you could play Persona 5 on PS3 even in 2017

Nintendo itself reserves most of their new games for next Gen consoles. I'm sure even if those games could perfectly playable on Switch they will purposefully not release it on Switch, so people will have more reasons to buy Switch 2

I don't see this as a problem itself, but it's their modo operandis. To say Cross Gen games are something "very Nintendo" is a stretch, they are the manufacturer that makes the cross gen period the hardest to adapt 

I think there is a misunderstanding. I never doubted that Switch don't have many cross-gen titles, but you were going on talking about the remasters ("they rather release the same game again years later and ask full price"). Which is a pretty new thing. Although as Signalstar pointed out, there also were the new play control games on Wii, I only remember that for Pikmin, but maybe there were more of that.

Anyways, I don't think cross-gen is very Nintendo, and manlytears was talking specifically about BOTW2. And yes Zelda was a cross-gen game with Twilight Princess and BOTW now. In recent time only the transition from Wii to WiiU came without a cross-gen Zelda.
