Nintendo made too many mistakes with Wii U, but with Switch it's obvious they learned their lessons, and actually that's most obvious when comes to their games for Switch.

Nintendo said that Mario Odyssey was basically done in January but they decided to released in Holiday season, Nintendo is playing smart and they are spreading big games. That's almost certain case for 2018. games also, and I dont think that Mario Odyssey is only almost finished Switch game, that's most likely case for some other unannounced Switch games.

Same reason why they said for last ND that is focused on ARMS and Splatoon, they could also said ARMS and Splatoon and other games, but they said ND with focus on ARMS and Splatoon, now they are doing same thing. Its obvious they are focusing on 2017. games with TreeHouse play, stage demos and tournaments, despite they will definatly show some 2018 games also, but those 2018. games want have TreeHouse play, stage demos or tournaments. They done exactly same thing with last ND, they said focus on ARMS and Splatoon, but there were lotsa other games also. I gave you very clear and good example with Mario Odyssey and possible new Metroid Prime, where is obvious Mario Odyssey has focus with TreeHouse play and stage demos while Metroid Prime beacus is game that is 1-2 years from release would have only trailer and maybe short gameplay trailer. You are actually only person that from some reason doubt about 2018. Switch games, like Nintendo doesn't have anything to show or release in 2018. and fact is that most of Nintendo teams are sheadule to relase new game in 2017. or in 2018.

So they will show some 2018. games in any case despite fact they will focus on 2017. games (with TreeHouse play, stage demos, tournaments..) but you acting like E3 passed and they didn't show any 2018. game and that Nintendo actually don't have any 2018. game.

"it's obvious they learned their lessons"
Have they really? Because when i look at their own offering (4 original games during 10 months) i'm not convinced.

"That's almost certain case for 2018"
You are saying this because of one year that had 4 original games and 2 ports. I'm basing what i say on past and recent failures.
Is my criticism/fears that unreasonable?

If this was another ND where they focus on this or that game... ok. But this is E3. This is where they are supposed to bring their A game, the place where they actually show that 2017 was just the start and things are take off next year.
But when they just want to focus on 2017 games, i get reminded of 2015 and that's not good.

I'm only questioning their strategy.
In the past, when they had games to show off they never decided focus on games coming in the current year.
You are also forgetting that they have competition and that MS is going to present Scorpio.
This was supposed to be the year where they showed us why we should trust them and give them our money, not just a repitition of January's presentation.

If, after dropping support for Wii U in  - at least - 2015 and with same happening with 3DS, they can only bring a few number of games for 2017, then i question rightfully so if they did learn and if 2018 is going to be different.

Of Course they are, great concept, great branding and marketing, great launch game, and great system seller games in 1st 9 months of console life, basicly all thigs that Wii U didnt had. And sales and popularity of Switch proves that.

I saying that because they made great job with 1st 9 months compared to Wii U even to 3DS also, I saying that because Switch is their main platform and they resources cannot be divided like before. First they are currently 5 original games in 1st 9 months of Switch, also but we could get announced another at E3, but who cares if all games are not original!? Does anybody cares that Zelda BotW and MK8D are not just Switch exclusives!? Not rely, sales proves that. Like I wrote, every new console is totally different thing, compare GC to Wii, Wii to Wii U and now Wii U to Switch.

Nintendo E3 Digital Event is basically bigger Nintendo Direct, people calling Nintendo Directs Mini Nintendo E3s. And yes, last ND is perfect for comparison because with E3 Direct because both have "focus" in title. Yes this is E3, and they will bring their A games. We will see rest of 2017. and some of 2018. games, but main focus will be on those 2017. games because logical they will be out 1st and thats why for them they have TreeHouse play, stage demos, tournaments. Again, I dont see how you can compare 2015. E3 where Wii U was dead for quiet time and when Nintendo obviously dropped support for Wii U, and 1st E3 for brand new and successful platform.

You can question their strategie, but their current strategie is very successful. In past Nintendo also did not revealed console with only 3 minute video 5 months before launch and had full presentation only 2.5 months before launch, in past Nintendo also didnt had mobile games..

Scorpio is high end product and definitely will not be problem for Switch at all. But you forgetting that Nintendo won last E3 with just one game.

"This was supposed to be the year where they showed us why we should trust them and give them our money" Its not about trust, its point only about how much curent product is appealing, and Switch is very appealing, from hardware/koncept point and from great games. And Switch sales proves that. "Repetition of January's presentation". Relly!? So you already seen Nintendo E3 presentation!? Why you sound like E3 already passed!? You also said you expeting to see some 2018. games and now you say "Repetition of January's presentation"!?

Nintendo made 2017. very strong for Switch, like wrote if we talk about huge and system seller games, Switch 1st 9 monts is probably strongest compared to any other Nintendo console, and most likly we will see some unannounced game/games for rest of 2017. So why they would release more games in 2017. when can instead make 2018. also strong for Switch!? Why they didnt realise Mario Odyssey on launch alongside with Zelda BotW and instead they made Mario Odyssey holiday season game!? Because there were no need for two huge game on launch and it's better to spread them out.
