Level 5 really dropped the ball on YW4

Using a franchise that got milked to death and is now far past it's prime, while also delaying the game by a lot resulted in this.
Remember when the game was originally planned for winter of 2018?

That said I don't have my hopes up for Inazuma Eleven Ares either

That's the 3DS Mario Maker or Wii U?

Also the Switch as a platform has already shown its strength with behemoth software sales. Any talk of it being "too expensive" is thwarted immediately by those humongous sales. And Yokai Watch 4 is not simply a 3DS game charading as a Switch game. They've made a lot of changes and improvements visually as well as in the gameplay to merit being on the newest Nintendo system. 

A wild SAO appears

I would argue that Splatoon would also be up there under better circumstances. Splatoon released on the Wii U, which never took off, and Splatoon 2 within 5 month of the release of the Switch, thus not having  much of an install base for preorders yet. A splatoon releasing now probably would get similar preorders than those two franchises.
