Emily Rogers (now an admin at Reset Era) said this earlier in the month, and she's been generally pretty spot on with her Switch/NX stuff, though this stuff is on these posters, not me:

I'm going to be brutally honest with you.

Nintendo's strategy with 2018 is to rely on third party stuff + ports of older games.

They believe that's enough to hold them over until 2019 when they bring out the big guns. (Metroid, etc)

Now insiders at Reset-Era are saying a port of New Super Mario Bros. U + New Super Luigi U from the Wii U is also going to be one of the Switch's releases later on.

This is from Ehoavash from Reset Era who's supposedly reliable:

Heard from a source that bandai namco is indeed making MP4

Smash 4 switch deluxe port is happening this year

And also NSMB U + port is actually a thing that's also happening lol 

Year of ports baby qqq

I don't mind the DKC port, but I think I'll pass on NSMBU ... it's not that it wasn't a good game or anything, just not something I'd want to play again. Surprised Mario Maker for Switch isn't being made a bigger priority. 

Well you could include in OP this from Emily also:

"But there are still more third party titles that will be announced later this year from Square Enix, Ubisoft, and Bandai Namco. Some of these unannounced titles may have been rumored on the internet before -- and some unannounced titles have never been rumored at all. Trust me, there's some good stuff coming from third parties. You will be pleasantly surprised in the third party department"

"Like I said before, this is a good year for third party stuff on Switch. Full of unexpected surprises. Switch might have the best third party support since maybe GameCube".

 

 

Talking about Emily, she knows more about 3rd party stuffs and 1st party ports (shes strongest contact is from Ubisoft), she know less about new 1st party staffs.

Also, if this NSMBU port is true, its kind a bammer, Mario Maker 2 or brand new 2 Mario would be better. Also that guy that said NSMBU and SmashBros 4 are coming had only one guess before that most of leakers also guessed.

If this is true, then that is the dumbest decision they could make since the Wii U era. Nintendo has always gone about the motto "software sells hardware".... Well, the software didn't sell the Wii U, it's not going to sell the Switch. This will kill all momentum that they had perfectly established last year. They to keep momentum. Ports of Wii U games and older 3rd party games won't cut it. The only port that I see moving systems is Smash, but they would need to add content to it. 

The 3rd party support is nice, but so far the only confirmed exclusive is Octopath Traveller (to my knowledge), and while that looks phenomenal, it isn't going to move systems. I feel like they need at least Animal Crossing this year.

Switch and Wii U are very different, Wii U had so many big problems that even good software couldnt move it, Switch compared to Wii U has great concept and good/strong marketing, also don't have any droughts.

We will definitely have some strong IPs this year, like AC, Smash Bros and/or Pokemon.
