I thought that only having one system and not both a handheld one and a stationary one would net more games to that one system from Nintendo.
That is not the feeling I've gotten from this generation. Might not be correct to call them stale, but something always seem to be missing.

Part of it is due to the fact that HD development does take longer and none of the Nintendo handhelds before the Switch were HD. But yea I haven't felt it as much as I thought either as the Switch's first-party output doesn't feel that much different than the Wii U IMO.

Also to be fair, Nintendo's first-party output on a lot of their handhelds wasn't great as the GBA mainly depended on SNES/NES ports/remakes, the DS didn't have great 1st party support either especially after the first few years, the 3DS was sort of the exception as Nintendo was pretty much forced to improve their first party output on 3DS since many 3rd Parties failed to support the 3DS compared to the DS/GBA/GB.
