Some of the complaints about first party lineup, I find laughable. “No big Mario or Zelda for the holiday!” Or “too many cross-gen titles!”
Not having a specific game you want in the first year is not a valid complaint about their transition strategy.
Also, cross-gen is just the way the industry is now, Xbox & PlayStation were getting many high profile cross-gen first party titles years into this generation.
Nintendo has handled the transition very well. Let’s look at their release schedule this year
Switch 1 exclusives
January 16-Donkey Kong Country Returns HD
March 20-Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition
October 2-Super Mario Galaxy 1+2
Switch 2 exclusives
June 5-Mario Kart World
July 17-Donkey Kong Bananza
November 6-Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment
November 20-Kirby Air Riders
Cross-Gen
October 16-Pokemon Legends ZA
December 4-Metroid Prime 4: Beyond
Updated ports
June 5-Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom
July 24-Super Mario Party Jamboree+Jamboree TV
August 28-Kirby and the Forgotten Land+Star Crossed World
A blend of exclusives, cross-gen titles & updated ports, pretty much what any sane person would expect.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
