They said focus on games releasing this year when they could have said focus on games coming out this year and games to come in 2018.
And that makes all the difference.

You can say that part of my reasoning is based on a rumor, but it barely changes what i'm trying to say.

I know about those 20 games, but then again, if they are coming in 2018, and Nintendo has also a lot for 2018, why make a presentation that focus in 2017?
As i said, it's more like E3 2015 when they barely announced games for wii u because they just didn't have them. And that is what i fear: a repitition of that situation.

Nintendo several times talk about point that they dont want to talk about games and to focus on game that are far away from release, thats why for quite time Nintendo is focused on games only that are relesed in near future (3-6 monts). And like I wrote, for Last Direct Nintendo said that it will have focus on Splatoon 2 and ARMS, but we actually saw plenty of games in that Direct alongside Splatoon 2 and ARMS even they biggest focuse. And that actually has sense, you will definitely not focus on game that is 1-2 year from release but actualy on games that are 3-6 months from release.

E3 2015. was totally different situation, because they didn't had what to show for Wii U and then became obvious that Nintendo start focusing on NX and they start dropping Wii U support.

That's strange... I could swear, last time we talked, you told me to not read too much into Nintendo's words. ;)

Of course they are going to say that... after E3 2014 when they started having no more projects for Wii U.
Do you really believe that if Nintendo had a lot of games planned for 2018 they wouldn't do a E3 like they did in 2014?

Thing is, when you have a lot to show you show it. That's how you sell your HW: you show your biggest weapons at the most covered event of the year.
2014: lot's of games
2015: more of the same with 1/2 announcements (Wii U)
2016: All Zelda (not even a ND)

You can point to the last ND, but i don't see how that changes anything as i'm not saying it's going to be short or that there won't be 2018 games.
I'm merely questioning why, if you have enough games for 2018, reduce your biggest showing of the year to focus on 2017 games.
And when i look at the recent past i can find a (bad) reason for that to happen.
