Honestly, Nintendo's entire lineup this year has reviewed a bit worse than I would've imagined.
| Series | Switch 1 Entry | Switch 2 Entry |
| 3D Super Mario / DK | 97 | 91 |
| Hyrule Warriors | 78 | 79 |
| Kirby Air Ride | N/A | 80 |
| Mario Kart | 92 | 86 |
| Metroid Prime | 94* | 81 |
| Pokemon Legends | 83 | 78 |
Roughly speaking, that's three or so games that fared notably worse than their Switch counterparts and NONE that fared better critically. Hopefully this is just me making a mountain out of a speed bump, but it does seem like a potential trend.
