Trying to find switch exclusives that aren’t Mario, Zelda, or Pokemon games is like finding a needle in a haystack.
May need some help on this. I already own or have played:
• Xenoblade series
• Ultimate Alliance 3
• Astral Chain

Arms
Bayonetta 3
Cruis'n Blast
I personally would add Fire Emblem ENGAGE (no one mentioned this one) and Fire Emblem Three Hopes (although you don't like musou games iirc).
Also, that Zelda Echoes of Wisdom game.
There are a lot more but they are 1st party A games.
Nintendo Switch exclusives, but these look pretty good!
Metroid Prime
Donkey Kong Country Returns HD
Advance Wars 1 + 2 Reboot Camp
Disney Illusion Island
Pikmen
Luigi's Mansion (unless you count that as Mario)
Several Kirby games
Several Donkey Kong games
Splatoon
Metroid
Fire Emblem (I really need to play Three Houses)
Depends on what you're looking for
Pikmin 4 is a good one.
Kirby and the Forgotten Land really pleasantly surprised me.
Monster Hunter Rise 👏
Smash Bros obviously.
Bayonetta.
Splatoon
Does Luigi's Mansion 3 count as Mario? I'd rank that one among the console's best.
Unicorn Overlord isn't exclusive, but again, it's a great game.
The Kirby games are nice, fun and forgiving games and many feature couch co-op so they'd be perfect to introduce your little ones with.
Hyrule Warriors series if you like Dynasty Warriors gameplay.
Metroid Dread and Prime
Bayonetta series

Advance Wars- Arcadey Tactical RPG
Donkey Kong Country Returns (Classic platformer remaster)
Lots of Kirby games
Pikmin 3 and 4
Professor Layton and the New World of Steam
Tetris 99
Collection of Mana (JRPG Collection)
Bayonetta, despite the looks, is an incredible action game. Especially Bayo2.

Try poking into Metroid. There's both 3D FPS and 2D platforming entries. Maybe one or both might be to your liking. I only got into them in recent years and they're dope af.
Octopath Traveler, MH Rise, Triangle Strategy, and SMTVV are all on pc. I played and loved them all.
Pikmin 4
Kirby star allies
Fast rmx
The world ends with you
Donkey Kong country tropical freeze
Hope that helps my man
@gamedadvii.bsky.social can you vouch on this one?
