Oh, but they are! They've made at least 8-10 games I've really loved on each of their consoles, but so far only maybe 1 (Odyssey, but barely) for Switch.
We still have a few more years left to go though!
Maybe I've just gotten more jaded with age, but it's hard to imagine that many people would think the list I posted beats the all-time greats from Nintendo's past.
It is, I love my Switch, but mostly thanks to the indies. :) And yes, they have published a lot of games, but mostly ports. And I'm talking more about the in-house games. No one would say Astral Chain is a "Nintendo game" rather than a PlatinumGames game.
You don't know how it's possible? :D I don't like online games or RPGs, simple as that.
It's perfectly fair for others to love them, I simply meant that Nintendo's output so far hasn't been amazing for me personally.

Astral Chain is as much Nintendo as Fire Emblem and Pokemon are. Nintendo owns the trademarks. They produced with Platinum. It's their game. It's first party.
no more heroes 3, deadly premonition 2 and bayonetta 3, therefore im expecting greatness
dont forget to add them go your lists please

Honestly, I doubt that BOTW 2 is going to come out next year, even if the overworld is going to be partially reused. Keep in mind that the last time a Zelda game has had a development cycle of less than 4 years was Wind Waker, back in 2002 - and BOTW 2's development, by virtue of releasing on a HD system, is undoubtedly going to be more difficult than that of Wind Waker.
Odyssey 2 might be a reasonable pick for Nintendo's big holiday release next year (although hopefully, the level design is going to be good once again).

Deathloop won't be on Switch. They wouldn't even confirm that or Ghostwire Tokyo for PS4 or XB1.
Doesn't matter who owns what game. Astral Chain screams PlatinumGames (which is not a Nintendo studio), while Fire Emblem screams Intelligent Systems (which is very much a Nintendo studio). Pokemon is very much Game Freak and I don't have Pokemon games included on my list of "Nintendo games" either, because I think they're too separate from the in-house Nintendo games, which were what I was referring to.
Not that this all matters, and we've gone off-topic enough.
Doesn't matter who made the game. Astral Chain is first party because it's published and produced by the platform holder. Same for Death Stranding with Sony. You don't get to pick and choose what's first party and what isn't.
Fine, I'm sorry I used the term "first party" in my original post. I meant Nintendo developed games.
Fair enough, they're apparently an "affiliate company", same as Grezzo, Good-Feel, Next Level Games etc. It's close enough. Apparently Game Freak too, so it would have been fair to include Pokemon games after all. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nintendo_development_teams

I would say Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker and Twilight Princess.
I think 2020 will be a "down year" like 2018 was, not that its a bad thing, its just a time where they reload to give us another 2017 and 2019 type year.
Here's what I expect:
January: TMS#FE
March: Animal Corssing New Horizons
May: Xenoblade 1 definitive edition
June: Mario Golf
September: Super Mario 3D World
November: Pokémon Diamond/Pearl Remake
December: Bayonetta 3
Something along the lines of this (admittedly for some of these games I chose a random slot in the year, but these are the ones I expect sometime next year generally)

I'm curious to see your list of 8-10 for the last few consoles. What were your standout Wii/Wii Eww/3DS games?
The Nintendo developed games I really loved on Wii U were NSMBU, Pikmin 3, Super Mario 3D World, Tropical Freeze, Mario Kart 8, Super Mario Maker and Breath of the Wild. Nintendo Land and Smash U would be closer to "almost loved".
3DS definitely didn't have that many, it was another underwhelming platform when it comes to Nintendo games for me. The Wii.. I'll have to look up what they released, but it might be hard to reach 8 as well.
For 2020... these are confirmed
Tokyo Mirage Sessions
Animal Crossing
Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition
Dr. Kawashima's Braintraining
As for the rest, my personal expectations;
Pikmin 3 Plus
Wind Waker HD
Bayonetta 3
Captain Toad Treasure Tracker 2
Metroid 2D (Samus Returns follow up)
Mario Golf
Some out of the blue game from a third party which they publish
One third party game you would never expect them to push
Other random games and thoughts
Persona 5 Scramble
Deadly Premonitions 2 (So happy)
Devil May Cry 3 SE
Doom Eternal
Samurai Shodown
Final Fantasy Crystal Chroniciles
Panzer Dragoon Remake

Even if I think it's not reasonable at all to sell them full-price, Wii U ports are still a good thing for everyone. I see people complaining about it and I understand why but a LOT of people did not have the Wii U, which was the first HD console of Nintendo. That means that great games that took more time and ressources than before have a chance to finally expand their audience. I can't see how it could be a bad thing. Era, or Nintendo fans who got the Wii U, are not all the audience.
And t's not as if ports prevented Nintendo from releasing new games:
In 2019 we had 3 new IPs ( the forgettable Daemon X Machina but also Astral Chain RFA, 2 of the best Switch games of the year ) Luigi's Mansion 3, a new Pokemon, a new FE, a new Yoshi game, a new Marvel Game. I don't talk about Link's Awakening because it's a remake or Mario Maker 2.
In 2020, we'll have a new Animal Crossing, probably Bayonetta 3, and we are talking about a new Zelda, a potential new Mario, a potential new 2D Metroid, a new sport game and lots of stuff we know nothing about, but that's the end of the world if we also have 2 or 3 ports? Why? What's the problem? If you already have 3D World or Pikimin 3, just don't buy them. We are literally complaining about more games being avalable. That does not make any sense.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 really grabbed, so I'm very excited for the remake of the first one next year.
As for what I expect, I think it pays to consider what we knew going into 2019 at this point last year: At the end of 2018, we knew about Yoshi, Fire Emblem Three Houses, Luigi's Mansion 3 and Pokémon (untitled at the time still). Super Mario Maker 2, Astral Chain, TLOZ: Link's Awakening, Ring Fit and Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 were unknown at this point last year. For 2019, we know about Animal Crossing, XBC1 Remake, and TMS#FE in terms of notable Nintendo published exclusives (not sure why I listed TMS#FE in this list tbh).
So we know about fewer titles than we did last year, but there are a number of titles announced in 2017 that should see some movement and possibly a release in 2020. These are SMT V and Bayonetta 3. I expect both of them to launch in 2020, although a 2021 release for one of them is not at all impossible. Besides that, we should be seeing games from some 2017 teams, like the Mario Kart team (they finished ARMS in 2017, so 2020 is an option for a new game), and the Zelda team might be finished with BOTW 2. Same thing holds for the 3D Mario team: if they go for an iterative improvement on Odyssey in a sequel (Galaxy style), then I think they could have the game ready for 2020. Considering Monolith Soft are putting out XBC1 remake, I do not expect them to have another title ready for 2021, if they are indeed working on another project besides XBC1 and BOTW 2 (as a support studio). Besides that, I'm not too sure which Nintendo teams could be putting out games next year, as I don't have a clear map of which teams are unaccounted for.
Edit: Pikmin could definitely feature as well. We heard from Emily that they rebooted at some point a few years ago, so that could explain the wait. We'll see if it surfaces. Word is H1 2020 should see a Pikmin 3 remaster with added content released as well, so the next 6 months should give some pointers.

I don't think Ubisoft will actually be able to downport Unity based on how the Steep Switch port just never materialized. I guess they had trouble optimizing their old engine for Switch or something. I think they will either go back to the Ezio collection or the AC port train ends at AC4/Rogue.
I completely forgot there was a fourth Saint's Row on last-gen consoles lol, thought you were talking about the new Saint's Row confirmed to be in development. Yeah a Saint's Row 4 port seems likely
I highly doubt that Deathloop and Ghostwire Tokyo are next-gen only games. If they were Bethesda would have said it outright at their reveals like they did for Starfield and Elder Scrolls 6. Bethesda is weirdly keen on building a fanbase on Switch (Nintendo moneyhats?) so I don't foresee Switch getting excluded from Deathloop and Ghostwire Tokyo (if the latter actually ships; seems like it's in trouble). Wolfenstein 3 might be next-gen only, Doom Eternal follow-up definitely will.
