Personally, 2018 has a tall order to top 2017 in terms of quality - but there should be more quantity and variety. I don't care for the Wii U ports (beyond Bayonetta and Smash if that *is* a port), but Mario Tennis: Aces and Octopath Traveller are the Nintendo published titles I'll be getting (bought Dragon Quest Builders and Bayonetta double-pack so far this year, be getting Travis Strikes Again, Okami HD, Dark Souls, Ys 8 as well).

With 10 Nintendo-published titles across February to July, I'm thinking that second half of 2018 could yet fill out nicely. Be great if Fire Emblem, Smash and Yoshi are joined by things like Pikmin, Animal Crossing and Pokemon. Nintendo generally publish 25-30 games a year, so I'm betting there are second half announcements waiting. I might not love any individual title for 2018 more than Breath of the Wild, but the cumulative library might edge it.
