It's subjective. It's missing out on a lot of 3rd party AAA games.
A nunchuck's of indies already available on other platforms doesn't scream "best games" to me. If I was too buy a Switch right now I'd get it for Nintendo's games and nothing else.

It's been pretty good so far. Needs more heavy hitters to achieve greatness. Especially now that they fucked up their online and virtual console. Right now the Switch only has a few good first party games and a handful of great indie games.
To call the Switch amazing, it would need something like:
A great Mario game - Check!
A great Zelda game - Check!
A 'NEW' New Super Mario Bros. game - Still waiting, no signs of it coming
A Metroid game - Still waiting
A 'NEW' Mario Kart game - Still waiting, no signs of it coming
An Animal Crossing - Still waiting
An F-Zero game - Still waiting, no signs of it coming
Great indie games - Check!
A Pikmin game - Still waiting, no signs of it coming
A Smash Bros. game - Coming soon
Virtual console - Confirmed not coming
Those are just off the top of my head, but those would be a great start. Sad to say, but I doubt we'll get these things. I've no hope left for F-Zero, which is probably what I want the most on my list above.
Fire Emblem, Mario Kart, Metroid, F-Zero, Animal Crossing, yep I agree with all of those. Some new interesting IPs wouldn't hurt either.
So far all we've got....
Mario
Zelda
Pokemon remake
Splatoon 2
Super Smash Bros
Kirby game (meh)
Yoshi game coming (meh)
Mario Kart 8 ported
every major Wii U first party title ported
Lol what games ? just some childish and colorful games and the worst ports of 3rd party games.(If they get any)
Nintendo is a joke. None of their main consoles had any GTA game at all.
GTA is overrated. Just once I'd like to play a GTA that doesn't control like ass.
If I was too buy a Switch right now I'd get it for Nintendo's games and nothing else.
Yeah, Nintendo games are the only reason I bought a Switch two months ago.
@ezekiel43: GTA is the best gaming franchise. And don't know why you hate the controls. I have no problem with the controls.(Only helicopter piloting was a little annoying)
GTA's controls have aged far better than Kojima's first MGS games.(And yet people on the internet love to praise that franchise more)

what if you want to play some of your fav 3rd party games on the go?
Still waiting for it to surpass the Ouya.
But for real, Nintendo fans are a joke. A sad joke at that.

Nah. I'm not gonna try to convince you. I know I can't and I don't really care. But GTA V's character handling is awful. Trying to play GTA O again yesterday made me instantly wanna reinstall the far superior controlling Max Payne 3. Which is still bugged for me, sadly. Rockstar doesn't understand how important efficiency is. I was also surprised when I first played GTA V that there is no shoulder swapping of any kind, which prevents you from seeing the enemy a lot of the time.
It's astonishing to me that people don't see the value in a Switch.
There's a lot of "Nintendo is for babies" stuff above, "indies" and "old games" elitism, but some of the best serious MULTIPLAT games in recent times are on Switch
Here are some great games you might not be thinking about:
Cities: Skylines
Civilization 6
Wasteland 2
Pillars of Eternity 2
Into the Breach
Valkyria Chronicles 4
Okami HD
Bayonetta
Warframe
Dark Souls
Celeste
Dead Cells
Fire Emblem
Skyrim
Diablo 3
Rocket League
None of those are kiddie games or look like shit. Seriously? Nobody here has any interest in playing any of these on the go or in bed?
@xantufrog: Honestly, the vast majority of those titles are basically unknown, or niche titles that a small group of people enthuse about. The only title that would appeal to me "on the go" is Diablo 3, and that peaked nearly 10 years ago.
A console that can't handle the top titles is useless to me, and I simply don't have time for Mario, given how much time I put into the games I have on x1 and PS4.
It's not even worth it to buy as a second console. For me.
i just recently bought a Switch.
I just bought it so i can play indie games, Fighting games, classic collections (Capcom, SEGA, SNK, etc) in portable mode while laying in bed.
