Well, taking a look at your list, while i don't want to generalise, almost all these games have been in development likely quite an amount before development kits were sent out for the Switch, meaning a Switch version wasn't integrated into development. Plus, i imagine right now developers are still being cautious, as porting some of these games may require a good amount of investment, though seeing the Switch's success especially in Japan, that's very likely to change, since companies can't ignore such a big opportunity to make money. In cases such a Ni No Kuni II, that's developed with exclusivity in mind, MHW too if you want to believe the rumours (Though it's likely Switch will get a new MH anyways).

But yeah, i'd say that for Japanese support, it's a matter of when, not if.  This is unlike Western developers, where ambition for grahpics and technology would make it much more likely to rule out a Switch port.

That's whyI said that 2018 will probably be better.

But even if those games started development a long time ago, a port takes 6 month to a year. So unless they discovered the Switch last week, I think they are just being cautious.

Oh yeah, you did, apologies for missing that!

Indeed, i think after the Wii U they do have every right to be cautious, though i think there will be some companies at least looking into it at this point.
