The 3ds got tons of games and the wiiu got as many games as the switch 2.
We told you modern HD gaming dev costs and dev times will come for nintendo too in a post Switch 1 world.

Because the structure is different.
Yoshis Woolly World is a good example, it appears in like 4 different Directs and one of them was a lengthy dev talk that included the origins of the yarn amiibos. Maybe like 30min of promotional content spread over multiple broadcasts.
Now look at Yoshi and the Mysterious Book. One 2min trailer and probably one more before launch.
Same kind of game, different approach to marketing.

You're supposed to be using the Today app

This.
Wii U era directs had poor pacing and would frequent have repeat showings for the same games. Developer interviews were also far more common back then, while today they'd rather treat those separate to Directs (if bothering with them at all)

This is substantially more than the JRPG and cozy game slop pile of most modern directs even if most of the games were already revealed

2014 was by far their strongest year for Wii U game announcements, and even then this direct is full of repeats for things people already knew (including cpt. toad, xenoblade x, splatoon, kirby rainbow curse, etc.); they leaned pretty hard on smash at the time.
