I could easily see Fire Emblem being delayed. Yes they said it's coming 2018 but that doesn't guaranteed it's coming.
Capable but not interested enough. This would bring me back to Pokemon.
Pandering to genwunners is exactly what they have been doing for the past 2 generations
Four games I'm interested in playing isn't enough to call a year 2 amazing.
You wot?
To be fair, that was 5 games in 9 months, while this is 4 games in 12 months.
If Pikachu and Eevee do end up being starters then Pikachu needs a buff.
Why they don't just wait for the E3 ? Am I missing some important point ?
TPCi prefers to do their own thing for the initial reveal. That said, Pokémon has grown in prominence at E3, just not for the initial (proper) reveal.
Right, but this year probably has great games beyond the 4 mentioned (FE, Smash, Pokémon, Star Fox) as well. There's Kirby, Mario Tennis, Yoshi (allegedly). And then the third party offering are somewhat better than last year, too, so I think 2018 could have a very competitive offering compared to 2017. Now, the individual quality of all titles in 2018 is up in the air, but in potential it could be close.Bit more then 5, I assume XC2, Zelda, Splatoon 2 and SMO & MK8 were your big 5, but some of the others saw good sales too, and gave some much-needed variety.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2
1-2-Switch
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
Arms
Splatoon 2
Super Mario Odyssey
Bayonetta/Bayonetta 2 ports & Snipperclips/Plus
plus Y1 had the FE Warriors game (and Y2 has the HW Warriors deluxe thing), but those aren't really first party.
Y1 was very strong for nintendo first party. Guess we'll see how strong Y2 is going to look next month.

Why are we to believe that Emily has an inside source in Japan?
In pokemon yellow Red/Ash started with a pikachu while Blue/Gary started with Eevee, there are rumors (Pixelplex's drawings) about the new game being some form of a pokemon yellow remake.

If I can get Blastoise on the cover, every Pokémon game until the end of time can be called Blue for all I care.
If I had to guess, Fire Emblem will likely come out in December.Pokemon AND Smash in Q4 of 2018?? Where does that leave Fire Emblem then?
But if this one is heavily inspired by Pokemon Go released mid 2016, does that mean they've only been working on it since then?
But Nintendo hasn't had a single delay since the Switch era started. I think we can hold them to their word.I could easily see Fire Emblem being delayed. Yes they said it's coming 2018 but that doesn't guaranteed it's coming.
Pokemon Switch On and Pokemon Switch Off

That's why Nintendo gives themselves a vague enough release timeframe so that we won't actually see any internal delays happen. While a delay is possible, I don't see it as likely due to Nintendo doing a great job of setting release date expectations lately.So Nintendo won't ever have 1 delay for the entire Switch generatuon?
Delays happen all the time and just cause they haven't delayed anything yet didn't mean it won't happen.
I personally think Fire Emblem will get delayed just a gut feeling I have. I reckon they probably targeted Yoshi for early this year but delayed it internally butbe don't know as they haven't gave a date for Yoshi other than 2018.
So if they're Gen 1 Kanto remakes they'll probably be called Pokémon Fire / Pokémon Water.
We've moved on from colours now since X/Y/Sun/Moon. But they have to have enough nostalgia for the original Red/Blue dynamic. So, Fire/Water.
ahahahahaha love it!
Because leaking hard information about Pokémon releases is a real good way to get a source in major trouble.
