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.

Again doesnt make sense to talk about any features of Switch before actualy full reveal of Switch with live presentation, espacily when we know how Nintendo is managing whole Switch thing (first showing console 5 months before launch and full reveal only 2.5 months before launch).

Eurogamer said Wii U production is ending this week, Nintendo release statement that isnt true (and they were right about that), two weeks later Nintendo Japan saying Wii U production is ending soon. Nothing is strange here.

You cant really compare Wii U with Switch because they talked and show some Wii U staffs 1.5 year before launch, situation with Switch is completely opposite. They had one Switch trailer and in 12. January we will have full reveal, we will not have any Switch ND between.
