I mentioned FE Switch already and Warriors was announced at the presentation.

Yes, FE ise announced through Nintendo Direct. And again, live presentation was because of launch of new hardware, there is no need for another live presentation when Nintendo Directs are doing great job for games announcement like we already saw in this year's Directs.

We're going back and forth a bit, so let me see if I can sum this up. What I'm saying is that Nintendo hasn't used Nintendo Directs like they did with the Wii U and 3DS. None of Nintendo's first-party games were announced in a Direct, so, at least with the Switch, there hasn't been a precedent for announcing new games in a Direct (talking about Nintendo first party). So my expectation is they will do something similar to the Presentation (it's also interesting as the title says "2017"). Also, general Nintendo Directs are not common in January.
One thing these fake leaks (if we assume it is fake) do is they play on expectation. Everyone is saying there will be a January Direct, so is it a surprise this says there is a January Direct? This could be real and I could be wrong, but what makes me suspect is some of the way its described (reads a bit too much like marketing) and the fact there is nothing unique. Rabbids was real because there were actual screenshots and images. There doesn't seem to be anything new here (correct me if I'm wrong on the second co-op game. I'll admit I know little about it).
Now, I think my prediction is becoming a bit less likely as time goes on. Nintendo announced the presentation back in October. We're in December. So if there is going to be some presentation, it would be announced soon. I expected they wouldn't even hint about 2018 until Xenoblade was out. Reggie has stated they will talk about it more after the Holiday. So I expect that we'll hear something in the coming weeks now that all the 2017 games are out. I'll admit I could be wrong. But hopefully I've clarified a bit about where I'm coming from.
