NeoGAF's Physical Games Advocate Extraordinaire
Nintendo recently shared a list via the Switch news channel featuring the system's 'most played' games in Europe last year. This same list has also been on the Switch's Australia and New Zealand news feeds.

As you might have already guessed, a lot of major first-party releases are included along with some of the biggest third-party and free-to-play titles. This includes games like Zelda, Super Mario, Fortnite, Pokémon and Minecraft.

Below is the full list. Nintendo Everything notes how it is "not necessarily in chronological order". The amount of time these games were played wasn't revealed, either.

same old Nintendo console tale, amazing for them tho but bad for third parties.

EPIC: 3
MS: 1
Nintendo: 14
Gameloft: 1
EA: 1

Nintendo warming up to concept of engagement I see.

Only way to free Japan from shackles of mobile games.

All thanks to some visionaries elsewhere.

none because its not worth publishers time investing on the platform as in the nintendo way
You seem to be unaware of the concept of relativity. A 3rd party game doesn't have to match Mario Kart to be worth putting on the Switch.

The cost of porting it needs to be less than its sales by a certain amount ( each company might have a different break even point)

Sure Nintendo's 1st party lineup is a source of competition and it's not negligible but it's also not "match Nintendo or it ain't worth it"
