Why are there so few third-party games announced for switch 2?

We should really wait till the next Direct before wondering this. I imagine Nintendo has saved some big third party announcements for that so this should hopefully get cleared up some within a few weeks.

They showed Skyrim as part of the promotional trailer for Switch 1 even though Skyrim didn't launch until 6 months after. I feel like if they had something big to reveal they would've shown it like they did with Skyrim

Skyrim wasn't the only notable third party announcement for the Switch in 2017. It's been nearly three months since the Switch 2 Direct so time for more third parties to start porting stuff to it and Nintendo to work out deals with them. With its staggering record breaking launch I'm sure there are developers out there who only just this month started going full steam ahead with developing for it so I do expect a notable uptick in major third party support over the next 1-2 years.
