Good to hear, though I'm still a bit skeptic until they actually reveal what these games are

"Soon"

The best they probably can get are nintendo handheld titles (AA, layton, etc)

Why would they admit how terrible it actually is?

Id love to see capcom working on Ace attorney and Monster Hunter

Well, announcements are part of the advertisement campaigns. Announcing them at certain points in time can be beneficial.

You don't expect anything from Capcom, Sega/Atlus and Level 5? I certaily expect Monter Hunter, Yokai Watch, Professor Layton, Etrian Odyssey and Ace Attorney.

Yeah, that's a really good point, I would say the Switch presentation would have been a good chance, but as someone else pointed out it was very Japan-oriented

He explicitly mentions Indies. I highly doubt western AAA and as far as I'm concerned it isn't important. For me japanese games are more important, and the Switch seems to have good connections to japanese devs.

Also, if too many games are announced in one event, the customer can be oversatiated and remembers only a few well. Having different events with different announcements give each title more spotlight.

Ahh, I would assume that's what the Directs will be for, combined with E3. I guess an April Direct showcasing a bit more of some of the announced games would do nicely, and leave the announcements of the big new games for E3.
