Not much more than Animal Crossing + Mario Kart + Brain Training 2 that all launched close together and drove DS sales sky high. 

April - Mario Kart 8

May - Minecraft

June - ARMS

July - Splatoon 2 

August - Dragon Quest XI 

Would work. Besides with DQX coming this fall, I don't think they want DQXI in the fall window as well, it makes sense for summer. 

Well X has a pretty settled audience that will follow the game I think, it's such a long running MMO, so I doubt they are concerned there.  But DQXI landing in August would be good, strike while the iron is hot both with regards to the Switch (coming off Splatoon 2) and Dragon Quest (since it would be relatively close to the XI launch date on other systems)

To be honest I think they should just pull up their sleeves and release it day and date with the other versions. You *want* to release it when the system has other big releases, it tends to create a snow ball effect where hardware sales rise exponentially.
