1st half for Switch is a little soft, but if Fire Emblem, Animal Crossing, Bayo 3, and Smash are all in the 2nd half of the year I'd say that's quite solid, especially if Smash does have a lot of new content (though who knows on that).

I can't figure out why so many people think that Smash is coming out this year.  Not saying it definitely won't, but there's been absolutely no whisper that it's coming from Nintendo.  I've been getting the same thing from Gamexplain videos and I really have no idea where it's coming from.  Especially since no one seems to think that Metroid Prime 4 has any chance of coming out this year, and we know for a fact that it's been in development for at least a little while.  I'd put the odds of that game making it out this year much higher.

Myself, I'd be kinda surprised if we see Smash this year.  I honestly don't see where the optimism comes from and I think a lot of people are setting themselves up for disappointment.

Smash is an inevitably, and if it's a port of 4, I think it's likely to come this year because there's no reason it should take a long time, unlike Prime 4 being made from the ground up. If it's Smash 5 though then yeah definitely not arriving this year, but it's announcement is possible. More likely to be a port though, as Nintendo seems set on porting every notable game from Wii U.
