There a huge cliff between Zelda: Breath of the Wild/Super Mario Odyssey and everything else that came out after. These two games are the pillar of that really propelled the switch. Both games are game of the decade in term of innovation and quality. These game have that special magic that is unique only to Nintendo and that get people coming back.

There a bunch of honorable mention Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Animal Crossing, Stardew Valley, etc. But, After that it been only repackaged WiiU games and the long wait for what comes next. Finally the wait seem to be over with Breath of the Wild 2



Not truth at all, Zelda I agree, but Xenoblade Chronicles is on the same level. And I'll take Pikmin 3, xenoblade chronicles 2 or monster hunter rise over mario odyssey. Even tough some are ports, but Xenoblade looks way better than the wii version and pikmin is a more unique beast, most people never had a wiiU, in fact around 95% of the people who own a switch never had a wiiU, so pikmin 3 was like a brand new game for the vast majority.

Animal crossing did more for the switch than zelda too. And I believe the next big game will be pokemon arceus.

I can only dream of a Mario Galaxy 3 before the generation is done.

Those other games you mention, stardew, fire emblem are really nothing special, they're just good games that's all, I wouldn't buy a switch just for those games.

You mean Xenoblade Chronicles 2 since Xenoblade Chronicles was enhance Wii Version. I must admit that the load time got to me and I never played more than 10 hours of Xenoblade Chronicles 2. The story never capture me like the first game did on Wii where I played over 100 hours. 

First of all the WiiU was a flop but you random % is probably way off. Nintendo is made up of a very strong core audience that pick up every console.

Seem to me like Nintendo really struggle from the switch to SD to HD. Games were extremely scarce on WiiU. We all hope that combine handheld and console system would result in much more games. As older gamer the Pokemon franchise and many of Nintendo Kid friendly IP (Splatoon, Nintendo Labo, Yoshi crafted world, etc.) have very little appeal. 

They also screw up great IP like Mario Golf. 

I think Nintendo at least publicly acknowledge that they need to grow their development team:
"Nintendo plans to invest up to 100 billion yen (~$880 million) to “expand game software development frameworks inside the Nintendo group.” Considering that Nintendo has yet to begin production on its next-generation console, we’ll see the impact of the investment starting with Switch games."

I would still buy a switch just to play Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Mario Odyssey.
