@SwitchVogel Hard to say, but as someone who only ever owned a Wii U, my God there were some barren days... Many weeks of listening to IGN's NVC passed with no news bar an upcoming amiibo release or an indie title getting a port.
There have been a lot of ports but we've also seen new iterations of Xenoblade Chronicles, Luigi's Mansion, Yoshi, Smash Bros, Fire Emblem, Animal Crossing and Pokemon as well as updated versions of Mario Maker, Mario Party and Splatoon.
Plus there have been a raft of fun new original things like Nintendo Labo, Ring Fit Adventure, 1-2-Switch and ARMS.
For me, the games I'm most excited about are still on the horizon (a Zelda built for just one system, Metroid Prime 4 and Bayonetta 3) but there has been a constant stream of stuff I think compared to being a Wii U owner, even before you take into account the NES / SNES releases, 3rd party support and indies.
The fact it's slowed down though in the last year suggests they focused their efforts on a killer launch period and having blockbusters for the holidays. It'll be interesting to see what happen next time around and from here on out. Whilst the first year of Switch was amazing, you have to factor into that scenario that bar a couple of small 3DS releases, they'd scrapped all Wii U game development for months, maybe years, prior to the launch of Switch and so were essentially putting everything into making that first year stellar. I doubt they could do that again.
This topic would make an interesting comparison piece for sure. Are releases slowing up or not compared to Wii and Wii U?
