Updated. Expect massive update on Jan 12th.
Hopefully Metroid and F-Zero are in development. I'll even take F-Zero GX remake like Wind Waker HD treatment.Updated. Expect massive update on Jan 12th.

No Super Mario Run in the list for 2016.
Monolith Soft - Developed Xenoblade Chronicles X.
The main weakness of the Switch right now is its first party support. 2017 is going to be rough for Nintendo.
Man, I refuse to believe Mario Odyssey is internal by a top team. Looked like it lacked direction and a true tether to the Mario Universe. The hat had zero charm if that's the gimmick and even the logo looks fan-made.
I think each slice looks great individually, but I do agree that I don't totally see the connections and direction for everything put together.Man, I refuse to believe Mario Odyssey is internal by a top team.

Is that confirmed that 1 2 Switch is developed fully internally?
Production Group Tokyo No. 1 - DS Guide Series
Production Group Tokyo No. 2 - 3D Mario / Flipnote Studio / NES Remix - Making Super Mario Odyssey.
Yo, you sure about these two? Why would Group 2 be responsible for the Mario games when that was the first series Tokyo started?
So there's 800 developers within Nintendo.
Quick estimation: Given that a big HD game needs about 100 developers over 2 years at the minimum, it means Nintendo can produce roughly 4 big HD games per year.
This year we have Arms, Splatoon 2, Mario Odyssey and Breath Of The Wild/MK8D (Counting them as 1 as dev is finished). Arms isn't that big, so it looks there's room for Pikmin 4 or something.
Naughty Dogs alone is 1/4 of Nintendo internal teams.

Same. I can only assume they're holding back.I was a little disappointed at the lack of "small" titles at their unveiling
I was a little disappointed at the lack of "small" titles at their unveiling, as one thing I'm hoping the Switch allows is for Nintendo to simultaneously work on "big" titles (BOTW, Mario Odyssey, ARMS, etc.) while also releasing budget releases (ALBW, Mario 3D Land, Captain Toad, etc.). I hope we'll see games that reflect this model, as it'll really ease the game between releases of their big budget games. More experimental titles, maybe weird remakes of older games? Weird Kirby games, uprezzes of old NES/SNES classics, ports/remasters of the Zelda remakes, etc would all be nice to see.
They probably want this to be the next 'Splatoon'. We'll see how hard they push it.You see ARMS as a big Nintendo title?

Big in sales, hopefully yes. But I don't think this is a big budget title.
Is there a link to read more about Eighting's work on Animal Crossing New Leaf mini games? Thanks
One project not accounted for: at this point we don't know who's on the Pikmin adventure for 3DS, do we?
Is this thread regularly updated like the other two? Hopefully getting my Switch this month (God willing lol) and definitely want some updates on what WiiU games are coming over to Switch. So far, I have Zelda, Mario Kart, Splatoon 2, and Mario bought and pre-ordered. Are their any rumors to Smash brothers being ported?
It will be updated after the next direct and when E3 happens.
Pretty much. Nintendo is being very quiet at the moment. Hoping for a late April Direct and E3 this June for some major bombs to update the thread.
Zelda seems to be keeping the Switch's sales up, and Mario Kart is not that far away now. I don't think they need to be in a rush yet.The big (and scariest) question is: what if they don't reveal everything at the E3? This might lead to the conclusion they are facing internal structural problems, hence the recent over secrecy. Really, they should at least reveal something during this time period. This whole silence makes the situation suspicious, actually.

I agree. A big 1st party game every month or so is a great strategy, at least commercially if not for the hardcore owners with too much time on their hands
