My prediction? For 2018, Don't go in expecting one big Nintendo fanboy wet dream (as in, expecting stuff like F-Zero, Smash, and other franchises people want to be brought back all in the same year). I feel Nintendo is going to focus more on two things next year. New IP that further demonstrate the features of the Switch, and the portability aspect. Many Nintendo higher ups from Kimishima, to Koizumi, to Takahashi have alluded to Nintendo releasing more New IP in the future that take advantage of the Switch's features, namely the Joy-Con. So look forward to more game like that. And for the portability aspect, I say this because a Kirby game this early in the Switch's life, along with a Yoshi game and Fire Emblem is something you only really see happen on handhelds, at least these days. So expect to start seeing Nintendo's traditionaly handheld francises migrate over to the Switch, including of course, Pokemon.

Basically next year, expect...

* More new IP and ideas from Nintendo
* More handheld series migrating over
* More Switch games from Nintendo overall as the 3DS tampers off.
