Only thing bad about any of this info we've gotten is the actual anemic line up for this year

On paper:

Daemon X Machina
Yoshi
Luigi's Mansion 3
Fire Emblem Three Houses
Pokemon Gen 8
Bayonetta 3
Animal Crossing
Town
SMT V

Sounds pretty damn amazing. But then we go to realistic based off what we know now

Daemon X Machina - No release window
Yoshi - End of March
Luigi's Mansion 3 - No release window
Fire Emblem Three Houses - Anywhere from April to June
Pokemon Gen 8 - Late 2019, possibly delayed due to Gamefreak saying they have issues deving for Switch)
Bayonetta 3 - No release window or year
Animal Crossing -No release window
Town - No release window
SMT V -No year,no window, does this still even exist?

 With the bad news for MP4 getting the fan base down, lack of games early 2019, complete radio silence on all fronts from Nintendo(no communication,no directs). You have to wonder if Nintendo just doesn't know how to keep momentum anymore when they have it. This seems to be their achilles heel, they never can figure out how to maintain momentum and drop the ball.

Then full picture of games by month is looking like

January was:

NSMB Wii U Port - NSMB Deluxe
Remaster of last gen game - Vesperia
Lackluster Spin off game - Travis Strikes again
Dragon Marked For Death

Feb: (most are digital)

VRally 4
The Book Of UnWritten Tales 2
Away Journey To The Unexpected
Monster Energy Supercross
Dreamworks Dragons
Steins Gates Elite
Aragami
Trials Fusion


March:

Dead Or Alive Xtreme 3
Our World Is Ended
The Princess Guide
Xenon Racer
Yoshi's Crafted World

April:

Darksiders Remastered
FFX-X2
Dragons Dogma
Mortal Kombat 11
Final Fantasy 12
Super Dragon Ball Heroes

May:

Team Sonic Racing

June:

Crash Team Racing


So as we stand right now, Switch's next decent month for games wont be till April unless we get word otherwise.

Except the Metroid Prime 4 delay has been met with a more favorable reception and it didn't hurt that the game had NO release year so there was more of a chance the game would not release this year. Fans apparently were understanding of the situation and are excited (though some are a bit cautious due to the turnover over the years) that Retro Studios are now partaking in development of the game.

I kinda get where you are coming from in terms of early 2019 games, but that doesn't seem to deter Nintendo at this time. They already have a lot of positive news in regards to their holiday sales, despite the change in their hardware forecasts. They have an idea of how/when they want to announce more details about their upcoming games. They do not make announcements just because some minority group demand it.

You will just have to get a word from Senior Managing Executive Officer, Shinya Takahashi, about what's coming up from Nintendo, as he oversees all Switch software. :P
