I actually thought W2 had already come out.
Still, the game is coming next month and the Switch version, sometime next year. Does it really change the big picture? Not really.
By the time it comes out, most of it's sales have already been made.

Even if they had a ton of ports, they had ALL the support from 3rd parties.
If that was the case with Switch, then, ok. But it's not. Unfortunately, it's not.

Spring does start in the first quarter, just at the end of said quarter.
If they have more Q1 games, why not show some instead of showing only Kirby and Yoshi?
Not saying they haven't got them, but it is in fact strange how they first show a Spring game and then a Winter game (or games)?

It's only September right now. They are amping up and hyping the holiday season.

There is plenty of time for a November direct that will show off early 2018 games. Pretty sure they do directs in November and in January.

Makes no sense not to advertise upcoming games for teh biggest sales season of the year. Why take away ad time away from upcoming games to games not coming out for a year. You only showcase super far away games when you are trying to intice buyers to purchase your system. The switch has no need for that, thus shoudl use all its ad resources on current, comming soon games.

Unless Yoshi is a Q1 game, i find it odd that they rather show games coming in Spring, instead of games coming in the Winter.

Did you say that a year away is super far away?
That's what i understood.
To first sell your console, yes, it's important to show that consumers can count on games coming in the short, medium and long term. But that doesn't mean it's not important to not do it again, because, you are always trying to sell your console to new customers or people who want a second console and have to make a decision.
In that regard, always showing what you have in stores for consumers is always very important.
