But fact is that is not, its managed like MIni Direct not like normal Direct: its short, no earlier announcement for Direct around 2 days before Direct like we have with regular direct, we didn't had Koizumi or some other big Nintendo executive running Direct like was case with last two normal Directs when Koizumi was runing directs, no big announcements. Its clear fact that this was not managed like regular Direct, there is reason why Nintendo done all that and why they called this Mini Direct, not normal Direct.
Like I wrote, you are one that ignored how they manged Mini Direct. Maybe it seems that there are enough games for now for 1H 2018. but that doesnt mean we will not have more announcements for 1H 2018.
I dont agree it look lackuster, curent 1H 2018. looks decent, and we will probably have more 1H 2018. announcements. We already agreed that Nintendo hardly can have so many heaviy hiters like it had in 2017. but that regardless that Switch can have strong year.
Mario Tennis and DK TF are 1st party games, Hyrule Warriors also caould be calle 1st party game basically (exlusive game with Nintendo IP).
Offcourse its not proof, but also is not proff they don't have one because they didn't announce it in Mini Direct.
Article actualy have some good points that we could easily have another DIrect in near future. Fact is that this was Mini Direct and that we alaways had regular Direct less than a month after Mini Direct. Blank space for Direct actually always is sign that new Direct is coming in near future (it can be few weeks). Other points just give more chances that we will have Direct in next few weeks.

"But fact is that is not, its managed like MIni Direct not like normal Direct"
You listed a ton of things that separate a Mini from a regular ND, but you didn't mention the most important aspects:
1 - Mini NDs were done for a specific region (not worldwide as regular NDs)
2 - Mini NDs were made for a specific game
3 - In one case (July, 2013), it was used to announce some release dates of already known games.
See how this Mini ND is not your usual Mini ND?
Again, you can't use the "no big announcements" card as proof that those announcements will happen in the regular ND - may it come in February, March, April, etc.
I'm not against the idea of a surprise for the 1st half. But given the games already announced and Nintendo's way of doing things, i won't hold my breath for something major that will change the 1st half, from lackluster to good.
And it is lackluster because it's selling games are mainly Kirby, Mario Tennis and more ports.
It appears that Retro is a 1st party studio. I actually thought they weren't. Sorry about that.
Still, remains to be seen if they are behind the port or not.
According to this website, Cameloft is a 2nd party: http://nintendo.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Second_party_developers

Basilcly all your points are wrong:
1. We had Mini Direct for all regions in same time also.
2. We had Mini Directs that are not for specific games.
So not that you are wrong, but you ignored all clear fact that I menteined why this Mini Direct and not Direct thats menaged like regular, again: its short, no earlier announcement for Direct around 2 days before Direct like we have with regular direct, we didn't had Koizumi or some other big Nintendo executive running Direct like was case with last two normal Directs when Koizumi was runing directs, no big announcements.
Well you say "how Nintendo is doing things" but in same time you ignoring fact that Nintendo is holding back announcements, and clear fact that you keep ignoring this was Mini Direct not regular Direct.
Again, its not look lackuster, curent 1H 2018. looks decent to continue momentum for Switch, and we will probably have more 1H 2018. announcements. Kirby and Mario Teniss are not system seller games, actualy DK TF and Hyrule Wariors are more bigger games and doesn't matter at all because they are ports/remasters.
