Okay and? The Switch isn't dead like the Wii U, and we know little about it's known line-up whereas many E3 2015 games we've known about for years. The only possible similarity this E3 could have is on the quality department for the new reveals, and it's safe to say this year will be better in that regard now that they aren't making games just to pad a schedule.

"I'll bet that surprises will be more about unknown 2017 games than 2018 games - at least for Switch."

Good that's exactly where Nintendo wants your expectations to be!

Ask yourself: if Nintendo has a great number of games coming 2018 why not divide focus at E3 between 2017 and 2018 instead of focusing only on 2017? Why?

I'm not asking for them to focus primarly on 2018 or anything like that, i'm just questioning - and fearing - why they decided to focus on 2017 games at the first E3 conference after Switch launch (a bit relevant!).

I think Nintendo's intentions, as any other company's, is to make you really expect them to deliver, not to set your expectations low. That would mean that people actually think good about them and not something like "meh"; that doesn't drive their business.

Because its logical you will be focused on games that will be released in near future than games that will be released in year or two. Example, for instance Mario Odyssey is holiday 2017. game and new Metroid Prime is holiday 2018. game, what has more sense, to be more focused on Mario Odyssey or on new Metroid Prime at E3 2017.!? Of Course they will be focused and that they will have much more videos, infos, TreeHouse play, demo stations, marketing...for Mario Odyssey game that will be released in 5 months than for game that will be released in 1.5 year. And thats exatly what most likly Nintendo is doing, focus on Mario Odyssey (much more videos, infos, TreeHouse play, demo stations, marketing...), while most likly we would get just one trailer for Metroid Prime with year of relase.
