Of course there are many non-verified games that run fine as well.

For comparison, the Switch has somewhere between 5,000 and 10,000 games.

Source: Wikipedia lists about 5000, Nintendo says “over 5000”, but this website claims 10,880. Part of why the Moby Games website lists more is because it lists multiple versions of a game as separate games (Xenoblade DE is listed 4 times for example).

I wish there would be a distinction in games running smoothly on SD in general and games that work great with the default screen/controller setup. There are many games that are designed for a desktop PC with mouse and keyboard that are just painful to play on the default SD setup. But as it is now, it is hard to distinguish between this and games not running because of performance limitations etc.

Yes this is my biggest complaint of the ecosystem. Many games are difficult to play with the controller even if they are verified. For one: I wish there was an easier way to change the joystick acceleration curve for each game.
