March 14-April 27 is the dry period, May is not.
Mario Kart is a long tail seller, thinking it's impact will only be for 3 days of April is stupid, it's going to sell well through May and probably acually mainly impact May. So that may as well be a May title.
Minecraft is a pretty big IP. Street Fighter taps into a good demographic for the Switch IMO because I think a lot of Switch owners are older and value this franchise from growing up with it, so that's good. Bomberman did well on Switch, Street Fighter may do better.
I'd say May/June/July are all very solid for Switch.
March 14-April 26 was the period it had to get through without a lot of new software, that 6 week gap or so. But it looks like it's done that just fine. We're sitting at April 15 and it still basically sells out as soon as any new stock hits shelves.
Within 35 days ... Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Minecraft, Ultra Street Fighter II, NBA Playgrounds .... that's not a bad 35 days for the Switch at all.

May also has Tumbleseed & Disgaea 5, neither are major releases but those combined with the ganes you listed give Switch a prrtty decent May lineup and they are all in different genres.

I'd say maybe June is a bigger question mark than May, just because it's hard to really know whether ARMS will take off or not being a new IP and all. It has potential to go either way, you can never really say for sure, but it looks like fun.
July is a slam dunk for Nintendo though, Splatoon especially in Japan is going to kill it.
