If this is for 2018, I think Pokemon would do a better job, but Animal Crossing definitely would be a good consoler booster

It certainly would, but Pokemon takes time to show up. It took 2 years to show up on the 3DS and DS. They take their time, plus they probably were too busy trying to get Sun and Moon to not blow up to play with Switch specs. The Animal Crossing makers are the Splatoon devs, and their project is at the end of it's run.

I was more expecting a streaming function like the Wii U's only instead of streaming from the console to the gamepad, it would go from the Switch unit to the TV but that's not a thing it seems. 

If I were to pick a companion for Animal Crossing, I would go with something more starkly contrasting like Metroid or Smash Bros or Fire Emblem. 

Smash re-release maybe, but I feel it might be a E3 reveal and release this year is likely for that one. 

No, Smash 5.  A Smash re-release is not a major holiday-level title.  And Nintendo knows it, look at Mario Kart Deluxe.  If there is a re-release, it will be a summer thing to fill a gap.  And I do think there will be a Smash 5, it would be very bad to put that franchise to bed when they need all hands on deck. 

Not sure on Pokemon, could show up in 2018 holiday.  The Xenoblade 2 appearance this early tells us we don't know as much as we think about Nintendo's resource allocation.
