It seems too little, but it's how they have done until now.
And remember one thing, 5 months after the January presentation they will have E3. So, they will probably focus the most of it's presentation on just launch games and have E3 reveal the rest of the line-up and future games.

Not to mention that, like it happened before, only a few games will have a bigger presence on stage, while other games will just be shown through a trailer and some talk about it.

I'm not against the idea of specific NDs to better explain luanch games, btw.
Even the presentation lasts about 2 hours, you can bet they won't focus too much on each game.

Yes, Eurogamer was "wrong" for a couple of weeks, but that doesn't mean the decision wasn't being planned way before. This is the type of situation that takes time to evaluate.
Nintendo knew this and obviously denied it, because, like always, they want to be the ones who reveal (specially after having details settled down).

January 12th is a Wednesy. Having a pre-ND the Sunday before it (on the 9th) doesn't change Nintendo's message.

I also dont think they will focus on each game too much, agree they will have more detiels on some key games (Zelda BotW, 3D Mario some 3rd party exclusive..), while for rest of games we will have just trailers, and they mostly will be showing games that will be out in 1st 6 months. And after 12. January we could easily have at least one ND for games or few NDs for specific games, but having ND for instance with games before 12. January and full reveal doesnt make any sense.

Nintendo of course denied because that info wasn't true (that specifk week) and Nintendo was right about that.

Having ND before full reveal on 12. January doesn't really make sense, any you should not expect something like that.

The ND before the big presentation doesn't need to focus, necessarily, on games.
It could just about MyNintendo and some kind of reward program, online accounts and how you'll retrieve games you bought on Wii U (this is important because there is no BC), Miiverse, social features, how you'll integrate mobile games with Switch and other stuff.
Of course, if it was me, i would rather have Nintendo taking some time to discuss the coming Wii U ports so that the presentation is really about new games (better for the Switch presentation as a new device and not a port machine).

I'm sorry, but i can't see Nintendo, in two weeks time (from denying to confirming) deciding something of that magnitude. Specially if you take into consideration that Reggie confirmed that this last Wii U shipment was the last. That is something you discuss with retailers way before.

Overall, what i'm expecting is Nintendo to do a pre-presentation ND like they did with Wii U. Nothing special. Just clear stuff out of the way for the actual presentation.
