You need to get off that catnip.People keep forgetting about Fantasy Life. It has so much potential. It could be their next million seller. No joke.

Every Level 5 new IP has failure written on it and from the old only Yo-Kai Watch still has power left. Layton and Inazuma Eleven revivals will be shadows of the past.
If somehow they manage to maintain or increase Yo-Kai Watch sales it will keep them relevant for some longer. This won't happen on dying 3DS and as a franchise it's far nowadays from forcing its young audience to move from 3DS to expensive Switch.
I think Layton still has some steam in it,a Layton game on the switch while it still has less competition will do good. And come on, even the OG 3ds started out at 25k yen right thereEvery Level 5 new IP has failure written on it and from the old only Yo-Kai Watch still has power left.

Anyone noticed how Nintendo's biggest Switch games are each launching in the same week of earnings releases? Mario Kart, Splatoon​ 2 and Odyssey so far, makes me wonder what late January could hold.
And these games will sell more than ARMS. They will be fine.
I thought this was interesting. So I kind of broke down what KT does. Yeah, a mainline Dynasty Warriors looks unlikely. I also think these titles would be unlikely/impossible:
Dead or Alive (Likely won't come to Switch)
Nioh (If they make another one, it probably will be PS4 console exclusive)
These are the series likely or already on the Switch
Winning Post (Has Switch version)
Nobunaga's Ambition (Has Switch version)
Romance of the Three Kingdoms (Has Switch version)
Fatal Frame series (Would likely be Switch if they make another one)
Nights of Azure (Coming to Switch)
To break it up by Divisions:
Tecmo This is probably the division that would be most adverse to making Switch games. They try to push the tech and have an outlook toward the West.
Koei They port their sim games to everything. Even the Wii U. Switch will continue to get them. They will probably continue to not sell that well, but that doesn't seem to matter.
Omega Force. Switch will get FE, One Piece and maybe another Zelda but not main series or Toukiden (they could put one on the Switch, the engine works on the PS3, but they probably won't bother).
Ruby Party Stuff is almost exclusively mobile or handheld (3DS and Vita). The last console title they released was for the PS2. They are not going to move to the PS4 exclusively. They will put something out on the Switch or Switch/PS4 or they will go full mobile (that might be the likely one).
GUST I suppose it depends how Nights of Azure does. But I still don't see them surviving in a PS4 only ecosystem when the Vita is no longer viable. At this time they don't produce the type of titles that wouldn't be possible on the Switch, it matters more if they feel it is worth it.
Random:
Ninja Gaiden I kind of doubt any console will get new one for a while, but would likely skip the switch. Then again the DS got a Ninja Gaiden spinoff game so who knows anymore.
Deception I don't see a new installment this generation. But the engine they used supported both the Vita and PS3, so it would be possible.
Any games I am missing?

Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus
Nobunaga's Ambition: Way of Heaven with Power-Up Kit
I dont usually follow this thread, but what happened to Minecraft Switch in japan? Did they never release it there or it just didnt caught on?
any sign of hardware improvement this week?
AFAIK Ciel no Surge & Atelier Totori Plus were both published by K-T as they were after they bought out Gust.

Splatoon 2 sounds like a safe guess, still stuff to cover with that game.

Given your remake, I just checked on Amazon Atelier Totori Plus' cover (the one which was released later in 2012), and it still shows the same logo as the original Atelier Totori
On the contrary, Gust games published by Koei Tecmo display the following logo
With a label under the original logo, stating "Published by Koei Tecmo". So, I suppose both 2012's Vita games were, indeed, published directly by Gust.
Super Bomberman R tops 100K!

pfft, the only third party game that sells over 100k is a Bomberman game, switch is doomed people,Japanese third parties will abandon it due to low third party software salesSuper Bomberman R tops 100K!
Super Bomberman R tops 100K!
General Direct that covers what?And I sit here waiting for variety direct :/
One game direct is kind of boring, there combo it for 2-3 direct now.
Also, quite consistent sales for Dragon Quest Heroes I-II for Nintendo Switch off the charts, at least in the past few weeks
Week 20, 2017 {2017.05.15 - 2017.05.21}
47./39. [NSW] Dragon Quest Heroes I & II for Nintendo Switch (Square Enix) {2017.03.03} - 744 / 50,866
Week 23, 2017 {2017.06.05 - 2017.06.11}
49./52. [NSW] Dragon Quest Heroes I & II for Nintendo Switch (Square Enix) {2017.03.03} - 783 / 53,066
Sales from Week 21 to Week 23, 2017 - 2,200
Average - 733
I suppose something similar is going on for Puyo Puyo Tetris S, at least.
EDIT: I've also updated my comparison post to include Winning Post 8 2017.

Dragon Quest Heroes 1-2 performance is quite disappointing imho. It's not that i was expecting some crazy number like 100k but after seeing how well Switch was doing I was hoping for better numbers.
11./13. [3DS] Pokemon Sun / Moon <RPG> (Pokemon Co.) {2016.11.18} (¥4.980) - 2.935 / 3.272.444 (-11%)
