Right, it didn't spell doom and gloom... because the concept was a novelty and they had Zelda.
Still, this is Nintendo we are speaking off and after Wii U it's no surprise that a lot of people don't trust them to support their own console.

This should have been the E3 where they would say "have no fear, we got you covered". But their message is the exact opposite.

Also, I'm not saying they should reveal their whole 2018 line-up.

 

Uh no, it's because they revealed more games later. And please do not gloss over my answer as it's the biggest point to why your fears are unfounded.

A lot of people? Ha, you're definitely in the minority here. Nintendo have already made it clear the Switch is gonna get far more consistent support than Wii U and 3DS, just compare their first year line-ups to the Switch's.

A consistent stream of games = we don't got you covered? The Wii U always had projects we knew about that were years off from releasing (Zelda, Xenoblade, Yoshi, etc.), but that didn't instill confidence when the immediate future always had little to nothing, so said immediate future is again the correct choice to focus on.

Then what are you saying, they can't really focus on 2018 without showing most of their 2018 games. Just two or three games for now that are releasing early 2018 will be enough to satisfy and show that the consistent stream will continue into next year. But if this E3 doesn't stop your worrying about 2018's line-up, then 2018 itself will.

 

I didn't gloss over your answer, i just didn't agree with it.

Those extra games (starting with Stars), are you sure they all exist and that they are all coming out in 2018?

"Nintendo have already made it clear the Switch is gonna get far more consistent support than Wii U and 3DS"
They also promised a lot of support for 3DS and Wii U. Did they deliver? No.
This year is this year and next year is next year. Not to mention that, in terms of original, in-house development, they have 1-2-Switch, Arms, Splatoon 2 and Mario.
I excluded Zelda as that is a Wii U game.
So far, for, 10 months, they have 4 games.

Wii U's problems weren't just lack of games and that 2013 ND revealed that.
It also showed how, despite promising support, they barely had any (in-house or 3rd parties, btw). That's exactly why they said launch window would be so long.

Focusing on 2017 games does not mean they can't show enough 2018 games.
I'm not asking for those 2018 games to be on the show floor or on treehouse. Just show me that 2018 will be a better year in terms of 1st party titles.

After 3DS and Wii U, after a January presentation that barely touched on what's coming in 2018, after saying that at E3 you're focusing on 2017, i have every right to fear that 2018 might not be as good as promised (not a first!).
