Did I miss anything?
Hyrule Warriors?
Edit: I guess it's only titles with firm dates, never mind. Thanks for putting that together btw.
Maybe some new adjectives are in order?
Hyper Mario Brothers?
Mega Mario Brothers?
Ultra Mario Brothers?
Alpha Mario Brothers?
Omega Mario Brothers?
Or a combination?
Ultra Mega Super Duper Hyper Mario Bros Alpha X-treme!!!

beautifully done, but wasn't snipperclips plus released later in the year?

I originally had the eShop icon but decided to just add the box art since the game itself launched in March.
You are probably right. "Hot take" was a poor word choice. Perhaps a bit of a hot take on my part. :)
Your post was still not useful as a response to my question. I asked for verification of a factual claim, and you reiterated some of the analytical and interpretive points.
That's fine, of course. More viewpoints are better. Leading with objectively false information as you did is frowned upon, though.
Sorry for the derail. I was just interested in the notion that the whole mini direct premise was actually false all along. (Of course I realize all the reasons why the pattern doesn't matter/apply.)
So judging by the talk in this thread it seems fairly likely we're going to at least see some glimpses of some of these new IPs or new ways to play Kimishima teased this week, seemingly Thursday the 18th. They're likely going to be "casual" oriented so hopefully people can keep their expectations in that area.
I'm pretty excited to see these projects myself!

Retro Studios here we go!
On a more serious note, I hope we see some cool ideas for implementation of the joy cons. I think 1,2 Switch and ARMS were just the start.

What the insiders are saying in the other thread is that this is likely going to be a very short video, maybe not even billed as a Direct. So if we do wind up seeing something it'll likely be more of a teaser for these types of games/accessories somewhat similar to the Switch reveal video in October 2016.
Which suggests that it will be followed up by a bigger presentation later. So I wouldn't expect a blowout for these types of games, just a tease.
The biggest mistake people make with Nintendo announcements in general: expecting specific things
I mean, I have the "if true clause" in there and I mean it: I don't expect anything. I am on the lookout for things.
Also, I do think a first look at these kind of things could be exciting or uninspiring, even if it is just a glimpse. Then we'll have to see how it goes from there through to launch.
I don't really think I'm of a mistaken attitude just because when people start suggesting we might seem some content I start thinking of the possible importance of said content.
TFH was 2015. Grezzo was hiring with another "work on a legend" job ad recently.
Nintendo is making a Zelda game for mobile that they should be releasing soon but who knows if they're happy with the game or not.
I could see Nintendo canceling it and starting over or just canceling it, I can't imagine Zelda will be successful on mobile unless it's gacha garbage and I can't see how you could make Zelda into gacha garbage easily.

Why won't one of you just spill the entire 2018 lineup for Nintendo? I know you know it. *smh*
Let's just say Mother 4 developed by Retro. Two birds with one stone.
I hope we get news on Retro at E3. This silence is getting ridiculous. I'm betting on an action adventure game.
Not me. I don't want Retro to work on something Nintendo can do. I think that's a waste of time. Retro should be making new IP's or bringing back old ones.
If they can do it then fine, but I don't see Nintendo asking them to make a Mario game when Nintendo is the best at making Mario games.
What if he specifically meant a new team within Retro?
Tanabe said before he doesn't know what Retro is working on. Plus we have Zhuge (admin here) hinting that Bandai Namco is making Metroid Prime 4.
At this point I seriously doubt that Retro is even able to do two projects at the same time. I mean, they can do stuff like support or ports but not two brand new games considering how long it took DKCTF to be released and especially how long their new project is taking.
I think the fact that they specified a new team in general sorta suggests they're telling us it's not Retro. Why else would they specify that?
Don't we know what Retro was working on now? There's no point in speculating anymore.
They've done a port of TF to Switch and another game to Switch that we don't know about. It's probably safe to say they don't have a third Switch game in development.
I expect to see this other Switch game at E3.

I do think that all this silence points more to some kind of development hell inside Retro than an extremely ambitious game. They would have given some news or hint otherwise, but they have been silent since DKCTF. 5 years is a lot.
It's only been four years as of now!
(It will be 5 years without any word by the end of the year possibly).
Any rumors on a new 2D Zelds in the works for Switch? I don't mean the Link Between Worlds Switch edition.
Right, it's not common at all.
Can't think of another AAA studio that went so long between the release of one game and an announcement of another.
That would be a pointless distinction to make for them as a key PR point during the announcement. "Nobody" cares about this (besides us). That'd have been a degree of detail that is just irrelevant to the audience from their perspective. If they say "new team" it's a different studio. To them Retro is just Retro.
