For people concerned about how much Nintendo can show in 25 minutes, the April Direct had nearly 30 games in 35 minutes across 3DS/Switch.

I'd guess this Spotlight, being Switch only, means they can show anywhere from 10-20 games in those 25 minutes. More than 20 if there's a "Nindies" reel, or a Virtual Console reel. It's easy to forget how much time is taken up during 50-90 minute broadcasts and conferences. Microsoft needed over 90 minutes to get through 42 games (including an indie reel) as part of their event last night, nearly three times as long as Nintendo's 35 minute Direct showing close to 30 games.

I still think we'll see some good stuff, but given Nintendo concentrate on the next 6 months, and then sketch out the 6 months after that, I'm not expecting a huge number of 2018 games.

If we strike off Odyssey, Arms, Splatoon 2, Xenoblade 2, Fire Emblem Warriors, Pokken DX, and Mario/Rabbids, that's only 7 games. 3DS won't feature till the Treehouse, so I think this could still be decent.
