DK: TF ain't AC.  That's a mid-tier game.  They aren't going to steal thunder from AC. 

What benefit would they gain from publishing a ND a week prior to AC rather than waiting until after AC? 

Wait so it's fine to steal thunder from smaller games that need it more? You've explained exactly why it's thunder can't be stolen, because it's a big game. AC sales are not front-loaded and there's inevitably going to be games announced while it's still selling anyway, so whether the direct comes before or after AC makes no difference. Not saying it will happen next week, but there's no rule saying it can't.

Daemon ex Machina and Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 were both published by Nintendo.

I do see now that I check that Bravely Default II is also being published by Nintendo, so I suppose that would count.  No More Heroes 3 is straight-up 3rd party so it doesn't count.  Also, it was announced during E3, not the Game Awards.

Okay we're up to two games in TBA 2000.  Woo!

Why make that distinction though? It's still a Switch exclusive and thus part of the reasons to own a Switch specifically. It's only fair n accurate that it's counted, I wasn't just desperately trying to make the list bigger haha.
