Agreed, this is definitely no worse than any other AAA release in recent memory. I wonder if people remember that on its release day, Skyrim's main quest could not be completed due to a bug.

Anyways, I'm 50 hours in and it's awesome.

Glad it’s awesome! I’ve primarily owned Nintendo consoles, and at least first-party Nintendo games - which I would consider AAA - never seem to have any major bugs.

Maybe many people don’t consider Nintendo AAA though?

It depends on the games. Zelda is definitely a AAA, Super Mario Party not so much.

I agree that Nintendo is not the kind of company to release a game with obvious bugs and hope to fix them later.

Miyamoto has this famous saying about releasing a broken game: "A delayed game is eventually good. A bad game is bad forever.". Although it doesn't hold true anymore (thanks to patching), their mantra hasn't changed. He reflected in recent years about his quote, saying: "“I didn’t mean to say a bad game is always bad, what I meant to say is if you release a game in a bad state you will always regret it,". Yes, indeed.
