This should have been a e3 2014 type of event where they show what's coming in 2014 and beyond that. But it's not. It's more like E3 2015 where they focus on games releasing in the current year - and barely announce anything for the home console.

This was the moment where they convince non-switch owners that there's a lot coming next year. But it's not.
Not that they won't, but it's obviously not the focus and that will make a lot of people think - and with good reason - that Switch won't have a good support in 2018. Couple that with Nintendo's recente comments of wanting 3rd party games as soon as possible on Switch and Switch in 2018 doesn't look good.

You are wrong.First because focus dosent mean exclusively.And you have the recent direct as a proof that you could still talk alot about other things and still have it focused in other things.I mean, from the 40 or so minutes it lasted, around 20 minutes was for Splatoon and ARMS and the rest was for the myriad other games.

This E3 culd have a similar format.Assuming it lasts around one hour, 45 minutes could be about games releasing this year, and the extra 15 minutes to announce or tease games for 2018(I could see two or three announcements fitting there).

And even if they just spoke about 2017, it would be the better decision.We still know little about XC 2 and FE Warriors, they talked little about ODDyssey, and I bet they are going to flesh out more on Splatoon 2.And with all the success Switch is having so far, I bet they manage to secure one or two big third party announcements for the E3, outside of the ones that were talked about in the Switch reveal presentation.And thats not to say on unnannounced things they surelly have.

So dont worry, they are fine.
