"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.

"1. We had Mini Direct for all regions in same time also."

 

 

 

You're right:

Nintendo Direct Mini New Super Mario Bros. 2 November 27, 2012 Japan, North America, Europe, Austrália

 

Nintendo Direct Mini Flipnote Studio 3D March 13, 2013 Japan, North America, Europe, Austrália

 

"2. We had Mini Directs that are not for specific games."

Yes, just not Worldwide.

And none of what you tried to show actually compares to what this Mini Direct was.

I'm really not getting why you act like it's just your regular Mini...

 

So your reasoning is: Nintendo has done things one way, therefore, it can't do things differently - even if they actually do it.
Again, no big announcements is not a proven fact that the next ND will be like you want it to be.

 

Miyamotoo, i really don't see the point in repeating myself anymore when you refuse to see that this Mini Direct was different; you also keep acting as if the release schedule is pretty much complete given Nintendo's own way of doing things.
I have admitted that there might be a surprise, yet you seem to believe that the next ND will change everything. Ok. No harm in believing in that.
