Restrained
Nintendo usually likes focusing heavily on releasing big new games for their hardware in their early years. That means a barrage of Super Mario, Mario Kart, main series Pokemon, Mario Party, Super Smash Bros, Legend of Zelda, etc. The closest we're getting to one of those this year is the Ocarina of Time remake, and even if we generously assume that sells on par with the N64 original, that is stil a tier below the biggest hitters Nintendo has to offer.
This is not necessarily a bad thing. If I had to guess, Nintendo originally expected to have at least one of those Top Tier releases available this year, and had to delay whatever it was (likely Pokemon Wind/Waves) to 2027.
