I'm expecting to see all major annual releases announced for in in 2017. Many in January and rest by E3.

You are setting yourself up for disappointment.

No, I recognize there is a chance that 3rd parties will still see Nintendo hardware as too much of a risk to warrant support. However, I also think that businesses want to make money and when the barrier to entry is low, then it is worth it.

NS won't need to sell the same number of copies of COD16 as XBO/PS4, Wii didn't. It just needs to sell enough to remain profitable.

NS needs

1) strong launch
2) low barrier of entry for porting

#1 should be satisfied by the low price, solid 1st year of just 1st party alone. Get 10MM out door (or close to it) in 2017 and 3rd parties will see opportunity.

#2 is already satisfied in that all major middleware providers have stated there is support. That is why the just released version of Skyrim was in the trailer. 

Either way, I do own an XBO, so my low bar is just getting 1st party, but my expectation is still to get nearly everything.
