I mean I guess a lot of the examples I'd think of are maybe more 90s and 00s than current but also I mean are all the smash bros characters notable or current? Ice climbers, mr game and watch, ROB, are obscure full stop and no one other than nintendo nerds knows who pit, ness or shulk are.

No you're not wrong. Nintendo has gotten extremely good at planning and making sure there's a fun game worth buying coming out every month or two. Part of it is because they're not as ambitious, like every other publisher makes these giant open world games or e-sports, while Nintendo gets away with less. But like, these games still rule.

You know the wii u some duds but like... is there a game on the switch that nintendo has released that like... isn't good? And by good I don't mean the Gamer definition of good or esports material or whatever but like... fun to play for a regular video game player like myself.

I'm also not trying to say there isn't I'm actually alarmed that i can't think of any that are bad and am scared I'm becoming a weird nintendo zealot or something so please prove me wrong.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance has sold more than one million copies in less than a month. Its all-time concurrent player peak is higher than The Witcher 3's. So why is a janky role-playing game set in the Holy Roman Empire so popular?

TBH this almost strikes me as answering it's own question, as this thing alone is distinguished enough to win attention from me. Basically only other thing that would make me explode with excitement would be a movie or game (action or rpg) with centered on the varangian guard, because I'm the kind of person who always plays with Byzantium if available. Actually a game set in Warring States or Three Kingdoms period of China would be plenty cool too, but also make it mythological and magical.
