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.

 

Like I said, the year is 2017, not 2018, makes more sense to spend more of your limited time on the immediate future since there'll be more time later for the later stuff. We only knew of one Switch game after E3 2016, that didn't spell doom and gloom for Switch this year.

Right and they can deliver without revealing their whole 2018 line-up. On top of a great showing for the games we already know about (Splatoon 2, Mario Odyssey, ARMS, Xenoblade 2, Fire Emblem Warriors, Octopath Traveler, Sonic Forces, etc.), Pokemon Stars, Pikmin 4, Retro's Game, Animal Crossing, Luigi's Mansion, SSB4 Switch, etc., even just a few of those would easily make this E3 way better than 2015 if it's not already.
