Don’t set yourself for disappointment, they won’t talk about November games in March. If they did, it would be a surprise. And of course they will have holiday games, probably Animal Crossing and Smash.

Well, I'm not expecting anything. Just hopeful about it. So long as Nintendo has at least 1 new (as of yet unannounced) game for holidays, I think they will be golden for 2018. So far we are getting Valkyria Chronicles 4, Pillars of Eternity II, Kirby Star Allies, Octopath Traveler, Fire Emblem, and No More Heroes 3 for new games this year. Four of them are Switch exclusives and the other two are 3rd party multi-plat offerings. That's 6 new games for 2018 compared to 5 new games for 2017. Yeah, these games won't hold a candle to the likes of Zelda/Odyssey, but as long as Nintendo stops having droughts and consistently gets a large batch of new games for their console year after year I'm happy. 

I mean, I bought a Wii U and only ever got 11 games for it. For a system that lasted 4 years (winter 2012 to winter 2016) that's pretty abysmal. Imagine how casuals felt about it. I mean, they wouldn't be interested in games like Xenoblade, or Tokyo Mirage Sessions, so they would have had even fewer games to look forward to. 

I agree, but don’t worry. We’ll get more than that. Also, you forgot to count Yoshi as a new game.
