It's going to hopefully be Retro's new IP and the Beyond Good and Evil reboot. Those will be the big ones.

I know that it's obviously going to be Mario as well, but Nintendo needs at least two western-style exclusive games to change the identity of their brand for the Switch. The Switch clearly marketed to a mainstream audience with the teaser trailer. Now they need to do the same with software, and that needs to be spearheaded by a Nintendo made new IP. And honestly, they need more exclusives than that, but the point is that they need to be for that mainstream audience. A new FROM IP like what pokoko suggested would be awesome even though its Japanese, but I don't see that happening. Exclusives like that are what Nintendo wants, though.

Something else they need (obviously) are ports of multiplats releasing in 2017. It's fine if they are missing some in the first year, but if the impression people get after this event is that they'll be missing out on too much by buying Switch, that's not a good place to be. Of all Nintendo consoles, this is the one that truly needs to get third parties on board, because this is the one with the most valuable hardware angle to make them buy those games on their system instead of the competition's.
