The Switch era has seen Nintendo reinvent a lot of their staple IPs, bring back a lot of fan favorite dormant franchises, introduce new IP, and give fans what they were asking for with a lot of their long running stuff. In general, I actually think we are now at the point where we could say the Switch played host to at least one top three tier game in pretty much every single Nintendo franchise, which is nuts if you think about it.

What grade would you give to the following franchises' Switch showings? What criteria you use to grade them, I leave to you. It can be compared to their showings on previous systems, compared to your own expectations, you can use data driven metrics like sales, review scores, and awards, a combination of those things, or something totally different. The world is your oyster:
