The games coming to 3DS in 2017 are small games that wont contribute significantly to their profits.

The point of NES Mini & mobile games are to build up interest for Nintendo hardware/software, thats hard to do when no new hardware/software is being released.

We dont know every 3DS game coming in 2017...

So they have to release a Mario game on Switch no more than 4 months after Super Mario Run because people will forget it? If 4 months is their attention span, then Im not sure they will play alot of their Switch...

You're right, i dont know all the 3DS games coming in 2017, but it is highly unlikely Nintendo is going to release any major titles for it.

What we know of currently are Yoshi's Woolly World, Mario Sports Superstars, Ever Oasis & Pikmin. They are also publishing Dragon Quest VIII and likely Yokai Watch 3 in the west.

None of those are major releases and will be lucky to sell 1 million.

Obviously releasing big games shortly after the mobile versions release is the best course of action. Sure releasing further along can work but thebshorter timeframe is more ideal for maximum affect.
