Japanese AAA support for the Switch right now is not great either.

It looks like Nintendo lost out on Monster Hunter 5 (thanks Capcom), no Resident Evil (thanks Capcom), no games like Tekken 7, Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 (thanks again Capcom), etc. Nothing from any Japanese dev at E3 on Switch, not even an announcement or two that would be exciting. DQXI is nice and all but 3DS and PS4 get it first, meaning most DQ fans will have played it already and thus the impact of it on Switch will be effectively neutered. 

3DS had much better Japanese support early on, I think unfortunately Japanese developers even have been moving away from Nintendo for a while now. PS4-XB1/Mobile/even Vita in some cases are given priority over 3DS/Switch.

The best third party support in the fall is going to be mainly Western stuff for Switch -- FIFA, Rocket League, NBA2K, and Skyrim. 

You know it's bad when Microsoft is supporting the Switch better than some Japanese companies. The biggest third party release on the Switch right now is honestly Minecraft.
