Look at many past Nintendo consoles, the mainline 3D Mario and Zelda games often did not arrive until later in the lifespan of their respective systems. The Wii for example did not even get its own original Zelda game until 2011 with Skyward Sword. Smash Bros Brawl, a major exclusive got pushed back all the way to 2008, and there has not been a 3D Mario game launch with Nintendo hardware since Super Mario 64 with the Nintendo 64.
This is not even something that applies to Nintendo alone. Look at the PS2, the most successful system in gaming history and its first year was pretty slow. The PS3 had the same issue in its early lifespan.
The general year with consoles is that the first year will typically be slow, with much of the library comprised of ports, cross-gen titles, and maybe a few first-party games sprinkled it.
The Switch was unusual in how front loaded it was and that was because the Wii U failed so badly, Nintendo had to pivot hard and could devote all their resources to the Switch to give it a stacked lineup in its first year.
The Switch 2 is more typical of normal consoles, especially ones that follow a very successful predecessor that is still getting active support.
The next 3D Mario, mainline 3D Zelda, Smash Bros 6, they are all coming.
The fear mongering that they aren't coming or Nintendo is somehow not making games, especially new ones that move hardware is silly.
It's just going to take time, like it does for any other console. After all, how long have PS5 and Xbox Series owners been waiting for GTA VI?
