Marcus Sellars the first guy to mention the Bandai Namco press event that took place last month. Is tweeting out some things about Nintendo in 2018 right now.

Dragon Quest 11 western release and Switch footage will be reveal at the direct.

Blizzard is porting Hearthstone to the Switch and might get reveal there.

GTAV for Switch is a Q3 title but not sure if its for the direct or E3.

Rockstar support might not end with GTAV as they are looking into older games.

Animal Crossing is coming out by Christmas for the Switch

Dragon Ball Fighters Z port is being outsourced and will come out late 2018

There will be 1 big 3DS game this year being a remake of Link's Awakening.

Take this with a grain of salt since he was right about a Bandai Namco event he was wrong in some aspects about it.

I find it hard to believe that DQXI to be announced for the West for the Switch while PS4 and 3DS owners outside of Japan are still waiting for their already-released-versions to come to the West. I think it'll come eventually, but it would be very surprising, especially coming from Square Enix, to announce the Switch version coming West before announcing the 3DS and PS4 versions.

Blizzard and Rockstar supporting Switch with a couple of their most popular games (albeit older games) is pretty exciting. I heard great things about Heartstone and GTAV (even though I personally have issues with how some things are handled in the series in general) is a well-received evergreen title that continues to dominate the charts.

I wouldn't be too surprised for DBFZ since it doesn't seem technically complicated and XV2 did pretty well on the Switch for a late port.

Animal Crossing for Christmas is interesting. Not sure if it will be a system seller since it will probably not garner the big headlines, but it will potentially sell really well. I'm not sure if New Leaf was a system seller but it did extremely well, especially in Japan and among women.

I can see Link's Awakening utilizing the ALBW engine ala FE: Echoes with Awakening's engine.
