An animal crossing Smartphone game was expected to release this year. If they want to take advantage of that, Nintendo needs to release the game this year. 2-3months after the smartphone game.

I can't really see that happening because if they were going to release a Switch Animal Crossing that soon I think it would have been a part of the Switch presentation for two reasons; the 2017 release date of the smartphone game and because an Animal Crossing announcement would have been perfect for a presentation geared towards Japanese audiences -- probably more so than the Mario Odyssey annoucement.  If there are any new 1st party annoucements at E3, I figure they're either going to be for titles slated for the 1st five months of 2018 and/or titles that are western-centric -- then again, this is Nintendo and sometimes they just do things randomly.

Great for you I guess. I haven never been an animal crossing fan. At this point I'd rather a punch out that isn't too out there but does focus on boxing.

good point. A lot of games can be released for the first year.

I think a decent amount of games will make for a strong start. A list could be something like this:

-Super smash bros 4 port with all DLC content
-Animal crossing NX
-Mario Party(cheap and easy to make)
-Mario game Super Mario odyssey 
-port of good wii u games mk8
-Spla2n splatoon 2
-Pikmin 4 
-Pokemon- perhaps Pokken 2?
-3rd party titles
-BREATH OF THE WILD!!!!!! Launch game 

that should easily set some ground for the NX. Add in the other series like Kirby and you're good to go

Overall the early predictions weren't too off... only thing people were wrong about is a sm4sh deluxe

Ha, you say this as if it's a fact rather than speculation! Nintendo isn't yet done announcing games for this year so it still remains to be seen.

Animal Crossing is a big game. If they release in the 2nd half SMO and Pokemon Stars it will be a little too much. They are already in a good position.

 

Next year I expect Smash and Animal Crossing to be the big hitters of the first half.

Don't they usually have a 5 year gap between games?

I dont really see smartphone games getting announced like in big presentation. I can see it on Nintendo directs or an AC direct. But yeah, good point there. It needs to be out by the end of 2018 imo.
