Haha, no. Nintendo has basically nothing slated for 2017 at this point. If the NX gets delayed until holiday 2017, they are going to have a really, really bad year.

Zelda botw and a few churned out smaller games will be easy to do

The problem is, Nintendo seems to want to launch BotW with the NX to boost early life cycle sales. They have shown zero interest in appealing exclusively to the Wii U crowd anymore, so I doubt they'll compromise sales from potential early Wii U -> NX adopters just to try to fill a hole in their currently empty schedule. Considering how many watered down shallow games they've quickly developed and released in the past couple of years, I doubt people are going to be eating up that method of slightly alleviating an otherwise near year long game drought either.

Nintendo really needs the NX to launch in March like they told their shareholders it would. Nintendo's success in 2017 is riding on a successful early year NX launch.
