Long story short:
Nintendo sold about 4-5x the amount of Kirby, Pikmin, Metroid and Xenoblade games on Switch than they did on WiiU and 3DS combined.
Input of a Xeno-series fan: duh. WiiU didn’t sell well and despite Xenoblade Chronicles X (pronounced cross, same name as the main character) being good, it was no system seller. And Xenoblade Chronicles 3D didn’t sell well either, being one of only 11 New3DS games.
Edit: the Kirby games on the 3DS were great! With Planet Robobot one of the best Kirby games ever.
And Metroid only had Samus Returns quite late in the 3DS's lifetime, and absolutely fuck all on Wii U. Only virtual console.
If anyone even remembers it, no, Federation Force doesn't count.
