Yo Falsey, at the moment there's just
Zelda and a couple of decent eShop games --
Fast RMX is a decent F-Zero clone,
I Am Setsuna is a decent JRPG, and there's some indie stuff but you'd probably have played those by now if you were interested (like e.g.
Shovel Knight). That's gonna be the state of play 'til the end of this month, when
Mario Kart comes out (alongside
Puyo Puyo Tetris, which I think a few of us will probably be playing multiplayer). Then, May is going to have
Ultra Street Fighter II and
Disgaea 5. The actual date isn't announced yet, but later on in summer there will be
Splatoon 2,
RiME, and
Arms. There's also gonna be a dump of
Dragon Quest games at some point, which I suspect will come in autumn. Winter will hopefully have
Mario Odyssey and
Xenoblade, but that's pretty much speculation. Throughout all of this there's a pretty regular stream of indie releases too - they're really emphasising indie games at the moment - but IMO not much you wouldn't have played on Steam already if you wanted to.
If you don't like staple Nintendo franchises and/or Japanese stuff, and if the idea of playing indie games on the go isn't too exciting for you, then the Switch is going to have a really boring first year for you to be honest.
This isn't me being down on it, I like the console a lot because I like Nintendo & other Japanese games - and while I don't tend to get on with indie games, I'm more likely to give them a go on a handheld - but I'm just trying to give a realistic view of it.
