- Kirby Star Allies

- Nintendo Labo starter and Robot (definitely not interested)

- Mario Tennis (depending on reviews/amount of content)

- Yoshi Switch

- Project Octopath Traveler 

- Fire Emblem (mainline) (basically a guaranteed purchase)

- Travis Strikes Again :No More Heroes 

- Metroid Prime 4  (2019)

- Bayonetta 3 (2019)

- Shin Megami Tensei V (2019 - wasn't there a recent report development is only just properly underway?)

- Ridge Racer 8 (maybe)

- Runner 3

- Animal Crossing (if it happens, yes)

-Pokemon Switch (I think this is likelier in 2018 than Bayonetta 3 or Prime 4 - it will be a higher priority for Nintendo)

-Smash 5  I expect to see Smash 4 DX for Switch this year and would buy it

-Mario Kart 9 Kart 8 DX is doing the job - there's no need.

So there are 6 or 7 likely purchases from that list, and there are some I think we either won't see or won't see until 2019. Honestly, I think people expecting Prime 4 or Bayonetta 3 this year are in for a disappointment - I'm not expecting either until the second half of 2019. 

With the addition of stuff like Ys VIII, Dark Souls Remastered, and (hopefully) Dragon Quest XI, there's already a good amount of stuff I'm likely to buy for Switch this year - there's sure to be more announcements, too.
