Right. Nintendo will announce their new games when they think is a good time to do so, depending on how far the development is for these upcoming games. Of course there have been some exceptions like Zelda (5 years since it was announced), Metroid Prime 4 (likely due to avoiding backlash for Samus Returns on 3DS and to show that they’re working on something on Metroid for Switch), Pokémon (as a reply to the backlash of Ultra Sun/Moon coming to 3DS from the Pokémon Direct about a week before E3), and Fire Emblem (same as Metroid and Pokémon but is planned for 2018). And with what has transpired last year, I think they deserve the benefit of the doubt for now to be able to announce games when they believe is a good time to do so.
They’re not desperate like they were back in 2012 when they showed games that wouldn’t get released until 3-5 years later in the January Direct. Plus I’m sure there are many Switch owners who haven’t played these Wii U ports before. They’re not likely gonna be interested in buying a Wii U for those games since the Switch is the latest console and will get more games in the future.
