It does worry me that not having BotW as a launch title could seriously hurt Switch. Wii U and GCN lacked compelling killer apps at launch, and they never really recovered. Meanwhile, every Nintendo console with at least one killer launch title (NES, SNES, N64, Wii) did at least moderately well.

I think a great 3D Mario with some originality would be a great start (and the mexican Day of the Dead town shows good signs IMO).  And if Zelda is within striking distance could work.  And of course, launching in March means they have time to accumulate a strong library before their first Holiday where they can use bundling to help maintain and build momentum. 

Let's hope. They cannot afford to let Switch limp out of the gate like Wii U and GCN. This is make or break time, go big or go home.
