Is Emily still trustworthy?

Not always correct, but undeniably right sometimes. In this case the statement is already pretty much proven, the mini direct unveiled port after port.

Well damn, if Nintendo's strategy is to rely on 3rd parties...

R.I.P. Nintendo Switch
2017-2018

Not to rely solely on them indefinitely. 3rd partys will supplement the ports and new games from Nintendo, and it's just to get by this year.

I don't think Nintendo can afford an off year, particularly when their system is still young and needs to increase its installbase. When a system loses momentum and the company cannot turn it around quickly then it becomes unlikely that they will be able to turn it around in the long-term. Also, should sales fall, you can bet the mainstream media is going start all of the Nintendoomed and "they should go third-party/mobile" stuff again like they did during the Wii U years (particularly in the early parts of it), and this in turn will turn-off potential customers from purchasing the system.
