I've only ever seen Nintendo announce a new AAA game once ahead of their other previously released in-house projects in this generation so far ...
WII U Announcement: Pikmin 3 (2011), SM3DW (2013), XCX (2013), DKCTF (2013), MK8 (2013), SSB (2013) and Splatoon (2014)
WII U Release Order: Pikmin 3 (2013), SM3DW (2013), DKCTF (2014), MK8 (2014), SSB (2014), XCX (2015) and Splatoon (2015)
Switch Announcement: Zelda (2016), Splatoon 2 (2017), SMO (2017), XC2 (2017), Pokemon (2017), MP4 (2017) and SSB (2018)
Switch Release Order: Zelda (2017), Splatoon 2 (2017), SMO (2017) and XC2 (2017) ...
Not unprecedented since it happened with XCX on the WII U and it'll eventually happen for some games on the Switch too but judging by past odds I'd give the likelihood of another AAA game being announced for the Switch this year being roughly 20% however, if Nintendo truly had another project to release this year they would've most likely announced it by now when the first half of the year is almost coming to an end ...
