as i predicted. people expect a full blow out with games shown that release deep into 2018, but nintendo will show Mario, Splatoon 2, Xenoblade 2 and Rabbids for the Switch (with Zelda DLC and ARMS stuff). Neogaf will go nuts once more, Nintendo doomed again.
same procedure as every year.

Fair point, hopefully that's the case.
Something new? They've barely shown anything of games they said they're releasing in 2017. So little that people guarantee something like Xenoblade 2 is a 2018 title. I'd bet they show some 2018/TBD titles too but I don't understand the praise for showing something so far off that you get a 1 minute teaser for 2+ years.

Yeah the word Focus implies a centre of attention which means there will be other stuff announced as well!
Slaytendo won't focus on 2018 games but there will be 2018 announcements but won't focus on them, only on 2017 games

You have no idea if they will show 2018 games or not. The only thing we know is they state it's focusing on 2017.

Man, some of y'all need to actually read their E3 plan. Having a focus on games coming out this year doesn't prevent them from announcing games for next year nor announcing surprises for this year. Their last direct, despite focusing on Arms and Splatoon, still had new stuff. Personally, I'll take this over games being announced an eternity away from their actual release date (FF VII Remake and TMS, looking at you)
Yeah, Directs have often had that "time limit" but that isn't a real limit, it's rather a focus. Indeed, directs had announcements that were off those time limits.

There are certainly some unannounced 2017 surprises.

First it's
"They are only showing games for next year holy shit they are doomed"
Now it's
"Holy shit they are only showing games for the current year....doomed"
"They are only showing games for next year holy shit they are doomed"
Now it's
"Holy shit they are only showing games for the current year....doomed"
Both please. This situation where fans can't have one or the other has to stop.

It says focus.
Nintendos E3 activities kick off on Tuesday 13th June at 17:00 BST with its Nintendo Spotlight: E3 2017 video presentation. Available to view in local languages live at Nintendo of Europes E3 2017 website, this presentation will offer more details about Super Mario Odyssey and other Nintendo Switch games, with a focus on games launching this year.

Preach it. Nothing changes here.

That's not true at all. You have to go back to 2013 to see the last time Nintendo didn't place a lot of their focus on software launching outside of that calendar year.

From the press release which should probably be put into the OP since it's more detailed than the tweet.

E3 is about surprises and keeping people hyped about the future of the platform. People want an idea what's coming down the road.
It's not 2017 only, though. Here's the full statement:
Business wire said:
As you can see (the bolded), the exact wording is "a focus", same as for the Splatoon 2/ARMS direct, which ended up having much more than that. I would expect some 2018 titles as well.
Where does it say focus? It says they are taking a look at 2017 games.
EDIT: Saw the press release, maybe we should update the OP with that... hopefully they have some announcements for us!

Last year Nintendo showed one fucking game for E3 and people panicked before it even started. I'm feeling the same way right now, even if it's not a single game.

Yeah they will show a 2018 game. I know what "focus" means and every single E3 they've shown a following year game. I know that for sure.
You guys need to forget about Pokémon Stars game. It's too late for this year for a mainline Pokémon game announcement, even for a third version. There will be a Pokémon game for Switch this fall but it won't be what you expect. The year after the new gen is always the year of new Mystery Dungeon game.

Did you even read their plans?
Just because they're focusing on 2017 games which makes so much sense, that doesn't prevent them from 2018 announcements

Future's good and all, but I'd rather take more info on whats on the more immediate horizon than an hour of trailers giving me a vague 2018/2019 year date.
*Cue Metroid trailer*
Ok, that last part was pure dreaming. Apart from that I was being serious.
Nvm, it's merely a "focus" on 2017, meaning there'll definitely be announcements beyond that.
Pretty sure you guys are reading way too much into a small sentence written by some random PR dude at Nintendo. It'll be a par for the course E3 Nintendo presentation. Meaning a lot of weird stuff we didn't need or expect, some things we expected, and maybe one or two WHOA moments.
They called it "Digital Event" on previous E3s.
Except those aren't done by Game Freak, which is who the reports explicitly said was the developer.
Not sure if serious

the negativity and cynism here is baffling. I don't know if I should laugh or cry...
I personnally expect a good E3 from them.

Mario's hair looks really good.
I hope it's a misunderstanding about only 2017 games for direct (or that they have some truly amazing 2017 game surprises instead). I want to get a Switch by the time Mario Odyssey comes, but the library as it stands is simply woefully undercooked even if I include all the announced games I actually want (Mario Odyssey, Fire Emblem, Xenoblade 2, Project Octo Traveler). Combine this with all the problems the hardware has and the barebones system as it stands, and not even MO is going to make me think I should get a Switch at $299.99 if there isn't a very good upcoming lineup shown at E3. I'll just end up waiting for 2018 then.
I want to see the fruits of this unified development front Switch was supposedly going to allow Nintendo to take advantage of, sooner rather than later. Please, maybe at least the Retro game? Here's hoping.
