We can easily wake up tomorrow, here about a Switch direct that covers Splatoon 2 and others, and find out that 2018 kicks off with Donkey Kong Retro Collection. Or more information on F.E Switch. Heck I recently got an email from My Nintendo about surveying for Animal Crossing so that could suggest we have something bubbling up from that end. 

They can do easy ports of Smash 4 and Mario Maker. Those are both system sellers. And it wouldn't take a ton of resources away. Plus if they give us a new Animal Crossing, we're pretty much set that this system will sell a ton.

The hell you talking about? 2D over 3D Mario? Are you mentally retarded or something?

Nah.

By that logic, Xbox is the epitome of that problem. Honestly, why does it concern you so much that only 2 first party games have a 2018 release date? We're only halfway through this year (2017) and you're already jumping to the conclusion that there's a "problem" with 2018? We've seen already that Nintendo will eventually deliver on first party IP, as all their studios are pretty much working together to make games for this system. Out of the blue, there could be an Animal Crossing game, a Smash port, Mario Maker 2/port, the list prolongs. Pikmin 4 and Fire Emblem 2018 are definitely going to be for 2018, as Pikmin 4 has been "almost finished" since 2015. It's likely going to be revealed in a Nintendo Direct.

Just wait, please. This discussion is way too early.  You're probably too exercised by Sony's 2018 delays to have such discussion. Nintendo doesn't operate like that, sometimes they announce a game a few months before release. Sony doesn't do that.

I think it's better that they went with 3D Mario instead of 2D, honestly. Though not being extremely different, it does seem to be a breath of fresh air for an old franchise, much like with BotW so it's definitely more exciting to see than a 2D Mario

Nintendo is set for their best lineup in a decade. They just need to make sure there are systems for the games to be played on.

I'm not seeing any "cracks" so far:

-June: Arms
-July: Splatoon 2
-August: Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle
-September: Pokkén Tournament
-October: Super Mario Odyssey
-November + December: Fire Emblem Warriors / Xenoblade Chronicles 2

They actually have one 1st party game per month. They're in their best shape in ages...

Kirby and Yoshi are not only games for 2018. we know about, we also know that Fire Emblem is 2018. game and Nintendo talked after E3 like Pokemon and Metroid Prime are 2018. games. Of Course we still know nothing about majority of Nintendo 2018. Switch lineup. But for now, we dont see any bad sign.

Nintendo should when with AMD
