Mario Kart is like what GTA6 is for the Nintendo ecosystem, other software almost has no chance. It's just a monster.
So in that respect, I think not having a ton of 3rd party content right off the bat was the right call. Nintendo knows they need their big guns to drive early adoption, but 3rd parties will get run over by the Mario Karts and DKs on a newborn install base. Need to let it leg out to 10-12+ million install base and let the early adopters have their fill of Mario Kart and DK and they will start to move on to other games, so that's where third parties can start to have more opportunity.
As much as I'd buy FF7 Remake Intergrade and Elden Ring for Switch 2 right now, letting Mario Kart + DK have its window is likely the correct call. The userbase is only going to go up and as long as its rapidly increasing, there's no worries for 3rd parties who don't have content in the first 3-4 months.
