We nearly get a first party every month now for the last 2/3 years. It was not always the case. 2018/2019/2020 did not have this kind of quantity. For sure not all of them are mainstream bangers, but still there is something to look forward too on a very regular cadence.

Is this only a consequence of Nintendo merging handheld and console gaming dev teams, or do we see the hand of Furokawa in this? He assumed the topjob in June 2018. Perhaps this was one of the things he pressed on behind the scenes; regular releases.

Actually they did. 2019 especially was one of the Switch's best years. Basically every year of the Switch's life had a game release by Nintendo. Even 2018 at least had Wii U ports to carry it.

And part of the reason for that is because of how Nintendo restructured its game development going into the Switch generation, as well as consolidating it's resources to a single platform.
