That's a quality "leak"! Not sure what I enjoy most. It's currently a toss between:
- Metroid Prime 4: Scars
- Luigi's Mansion 3: Sarasaland Spirits
and...
- Donkey Kong Country: Skull Jungle by Playtonic games. The studio that is still working on Yooka Laylee for Switch.

But this is actually simply false
They have this lineup due to two wiiu ports, a wiiu multiplatform game delayed several times and after having completely cancelled any release for wiiu in 9/12 months
Even the Wii had many games thanks to a limited jump in hw performance, Zelda tp multiplatform delayed to be there at launch and a couple of GC games moved to Wii for commercial reasons like Super paper Mario
There is nothing going today reassuring about the software output advantages on Switch compared to the previous generations
Not mentioning the supposed advantage of being an hybrid in terms of possible classic portable Japanese third party support, yet to materialize

plataform sure...
Nintendo ported a lot of early Wii titles over from the GC. Super Paper Mario, Party 8, TP. It's pretty obvious.
You can't just pick and choose. You look at the lineups and compare. I asked you this yesterday- look at Wii U's first 9 months and compare them to Switch.
You can't do it with a straight face, period.

Software output has definitely increased compared to 2015 and 2016, regardless of the reasons why.
But we won't actually see the true ramifications of unified development until around 2019, when all of Nintendo's internal teams and external partners are 100% focused on Switch. That's currently not the case and it probably won't be entirely the case in 2018, either.
So basically if we remove all the games than Nintendo has no games?
In the U.S., you really want to be out by Black Friday, which is in November.
Edit:
Ah, I see someone already got to your question.
I could watch Koizumi all day every day.30 minutes?
This needs to be the end of 3DS

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe DLC would be fucking fantastic

I really don't take the information in the OP as final solid evidence of an exactly 30 minutes presentation. They say "about 9:30" for Treehouse so that gives 5-10 mins of wiggle room (in either direction, though). Regardless, if there are fewer skits there is still plenty of time to divulge info as we saw in the recent general Direct.
Also of note, and as mentioned by others ITT, Nintendo may make new announcements in addition to those in their presentation in press releases and Treehouse. That is how we saw Mario Party, RH: TB+, Ever Oasis and BB!2 announced last year.

It'd be awesome, but we gotta wait for them to finish this years 3DS one first though.

Oh man, Mario in November would potentially be close to when Scorpio releases. I want to re-create a strange 2013 memory I have. I bought an Xbox One at launch (via Amazon) but grabbed Mario 3D World at Gamestop. Because it was so close to the Xbox launch I picked up Mario and they gave me a free Xbox T-Shirt just because.

Someone needs to work on their subtitle game. And come up with some new IP names.
Like:
Metroid: Coalition
and
Project Elbows
So this is the general look-out of the 2017 line-up. Don't see a general Switch thread so I guess I should post this here, it's kinda relevant to the topic. (Made by me)
For me, it's weird. This looks like a pretty reasonable schedule from August to December. Except, Super Mario Odyssey is the only internally developed game (I guess Xenoblade counts too?) and supposedly development on it has been done for months.
So, Nintendo is only going to release one internally developed game over the span of five months leading into the holidays? Especially with supply constraints, it doesn't seem like they need to release anything else, but still, weird.

Hilarious. I love that there's not just one, but TWO Metroid games on there.

They did release 5 in the first 5 months. Plus 3 of them are getting DLC throughout the year. I'm sure they have all hands on deck for Animal Crossing (both the mobile game and a potential Switch game) as well.

The other thing about that list is that the Spotlight is supposedly only going to feature Switch games. So that Kirby game shouldn't be there.
Besides all of the other indicators that that's clearly fake.
I wanna make a fake list but I don't want to go through the effort of actually printing something out and taking a picture of it, I just want to come up with random subtitles.
Like Retro's Cooking Mama 6: Cannibal Cafe and Donkey Kong Country Returns 3: Escape from New Donk City

They've had their internal teams working on stuff for so many years that they could conceivably accumulate several near-finished games to trickle out as needed. Pikmin 4 is another game that has supposedly been done for awhile, and I imagine that team has mostly moved on to another project. And we don't know a thing about Pikmin 4, other than it's almost done! Nintendo could drop it anytime they want.
It's a pretty neat strategy, since it allows Nintendo to release at least one first-party published game per month like they have been, while also giving their internal teams plenty of time to work. This gen I think it'll be more of a question of when Nintendo wants to release certain games, not whether their teams have finished them.
They'll also be releasing some first party titles for 3DS in the same time period (Pokemon and the Kirby action title, at least).
There is always the possibility that there is still an unannounced first party title for this fall/holiday as well.
I'd also expect a big 1st party switch title before the end of the fiscal year (by March 31st, 2018).
It seems likely since Pokémon is on the same day, as another poster pointed out to me. Just like with 3DW which came out with LBW.
I remember going to get 3DW at XB1 launch also, haha. I almost went at Midnight just in case but I think I just got it the next day.
I'm curious to see if Kirby will be a mainline game like RTDL or a spin-off. I don't think they specified but I am hoping for it to be fully playable in SP similar to that game. But perhaps it won't be a traditional Kirby at all.
I agree we are getting a big 1st party Switch title Q1 2018. Now that Rabbids and Pokkén DX are announced, I don't expect any more retail first party games for this year. I have trouble seeing where they'd slot into the schedule, especially if supply constraints continue to be a problem. I could definitely see eShop and VC titles, though.

they gave up at the end
Echoing the Robobot love ITT. That game is amazing.
I agree with the idea that Nintendo can and are accumulating several near-finished games - as with Mario Odyssey, for example, which was said to be "considerably finished" in January. With that said, we still don't have any proof Pikmin 4 is currently in the works and was not just an internal codename or mistranslation regarding the fourth Pikmin game, i.e. the 3DS game. NinjaCoachZ has a good post about this.

Reasonable until Metroid 2D, then it falls off the rails, haha.
Fan dreams ahoy, but I respect the initiative on whoever made that!

There have been rumors of a Metroid being Switch/3DS but nothing specifically about it being a 2D Metroid. I think most insiders have just called it a Metroid title and some have said it's a 3D title.
And I have seen no rumors of a Metroid Prime game.

Ah, with that lineup list showing up, it definitely feels like E3 season now to me.

I want that list to be real, but the main issue is that Nintendo doesn't have stage events anymore so why would they print out a list for a prerecorded video?
Yup, definitely E3 season. MvCI alone should invalidate this thing.lol

I believe they are referring to an interview with one of Metroid's Japanese producers (I forget his name) that said he'd like to make another Prime game next, but as far as I know there aren't any rumors about it actually existing.
Hmmmm...still hoping Pokken/Arms/Splatoon get limited time in the spotlight, with all three having an event, Pokken a just announced port, and Arms just releasing. I hope they just give that summer of Switch trailer for them all capped off with a Monster Hunter localization announcement if they have one.
Tanabe said he has a Prime 4 idea he couldn't get a team together for but he could get a team together for his other idea, Federation Force and that he thinks that worked out for the best as he wanted to flesh out the Metroid universe anyway.
No Prime 4 is now in development there, just a nod that "yes, Tanabe wants to pick up from the Prime 3 ending and fold hunters/FF into mainline Prime."

Huh, interesting read, thanks for sharing! I wasn't up to date on the Pikmin 4 rumor mill. I hope we get word one way or another soon!
