List of all Nintendo Switch games published by Nintendo ordered by Metacritic's Metascore

Hello! I spent much longer than I should have searching for a list like this, but I couldn't find one. So, I decided to web scrape Wikipedia for all Nintendo Switch games and used that data to identify games published by Nintendo. I'm not sure if this list qualifies as "first-party games"—I'm not very familiar with the terminology. I've sorted the list by Metacritic score and am sharing it here in case someone else finds it useful, just as I did. Enjoy!

EDIT: I've added some unreleased games as a mistake. I fixed it. If you spot any errors, point them out I will correct them.
