2025 and 2026 have delivered some quality experiences in Nintendo titles, but it's safe to say a lot of people (and likely even a majority) aren't going to put these years as some of the best years for Nintendo games. 2017 continues to top many people's lists for its Zelda/Mario combo, among other things (even 3DS still got some Nintendo games).
I feel by time 2027 is over and we're on to 2028; Switch 2 will have been out for long enough to deliver a red-letter year.
We already have these titles confirmed
-Pokémon Winds and Waves
-Xenoblade Genesis
And these titles are likely
-3D Mario
-Luigi's Mansion 4
-Kirby platformer
-Splatoon 4
-Something Super Smash Bros. - Maybe not a new game yet but a Switch 2 version of Ultimate possibly or something crazy like a standalone Subspace Emissary+Smash Run remake combo for a budget title. That might just be added to Ultimate though.
-New IP
And very likely some Mario Kart World DLC
