they don't need to do a lot to win this E3

I'm still hopeful NLG has been working on Luigi's Mansion title targeting a Spring 2018 release.

Considering last year they announced an actual new IP (Ever Oasis) and stealth released a game (Rhythm Heaven Megamix) during Treehouse, I give it a good chance of it being there.
The full press release that implied only a focus on this year's games has been talked about multiple times at this point, man.

I mean, first of all that worked out pretty well for Nintendo last year. And second of all, they announced that it would be Zelda only quite clearly and far in advance. The tweet in the OP even says this will showcase several Switch games. So I'm not even sure where you got this idea.
I mean, this is in the OP. It's not hard to read. "Focus on" is Nintendo code for "with some other stuff outside this focus".

I mean, he asked and I answered their question
Okay, thanks. Read it now.
With Nintendo though, it's still sometimes hard to gauge how their specific announcements will pan out. This could still essentially mean anything from 0-3 2018+ games announced.
It's not going to happen. They literally only had one game on the docket for Wii U and could not talk about anything else due to timing. I expect a lot of Odyssey at the show but they have a prefer diverse lineup and will announce a bunch of other stuff too. People shouldn't read too much into the wording.

Because it's using Unreal Engine 4 instead of Square's oddly complicated Luminous Engine.
I think we're reading different threads, then. First of all the direct announcement (Business Wire press release) states that it is not only 2017, and secondly I haven't seen those posts, and I've read most of the thread. I think you're fabricating a narrative here.

I mean think this through logically. FFXV barely runs at a stable framerate on PS4. It's bursting at the seams with its resolution and framerate. How in God's name will they deliver FFVIIRemake without the mother of all downgrades? I would fear to see what remained of the title after they got done stripping it in order to get it to a workable framerate. It's probably best they get unique exclusive titles from Square like Octopath instead of dealing with that controversy
FFXV reportedly owes most of its performance problems to its engine, while FFVIIR is built on UE4, which the Switch supports quite well. We also have a statement directly from Epic which says over 20 Japanese UE4 games are in development for Switch. I don't think we can even list more than 10 Japanese UE4 games in general without bringing up FFVIIR.
Doesn't say anywhere it's ONLY 2017 games, just that the focus is on them. I'd bet there are a couple of 2018 and beyond reveals but not showing too much with the bulk of the presentation focussed on Gameplay from 2017 games.
The thing is that only the European PRs use the word focus. All NoA info basically talks about 2017 games as if it was all the content.
Good luck waiting for that if you think it's as simple as being UE4 and they can scale it down to oblivion
Suffice to say I think it's best if SquareEnix focuses on making games tailored to Switch's strength. Octopath Traveler looks genius, they clearly understand what they have in Switch.

They're run on completely different engines and one is early in development so there would be much scaling, hahaha

Reggie has a better chance of winning in ARMS than in Smash because he can just beat the shit out of the champion with his brace-plated joycons.

Not even saying that it will be on the Switch, it's just that you're comparing FFVII Remake to a game that uses an entirely different, proprietary engine. That would at least give it a chance.

NoA's press release says "focus".
I think I'll be avoiding Nintendo E3 threads until mid-June.
Even Nintendo America's PR mentions the "focus on 2017 games". It's in the OP.
I genuinely had no idea someone else used that, let alone a chloroform joke.

Huh? This is the press release straight from NOA (Redmond Washington): http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20170511005489/en/Let%E2%80%99s-a-Go%21-Mario-Tournaments-Nintendo-Switch-Head
Note the third paragraph talking about the "focus on 2017 games"

Its going to be all/mostly Mario isn't it? Yeah, Xenoblade 2 isn't coming this year. Maybe in Japan, but not in NA.
Nintendo threads are all kinds of crazy

What can we expect to see announced for Vita at E3?

Your comparison is off. FFXV was made on an in-house engine (Luminous Pro) that scales very badly down from high end PCs (Tabta himself said that, and not in relation to the Switch, but in relation to the XB1 and to a lesser extent the PS4), while FFVII:R uses the Unreal Engine 4, which scales much better between different hardware and has native Switch support to boot. FFXV won't tell you anything useful about the feasibility of porting to Switch, although that of course doesn't mean porting FFVII:R or equivalent AAA games will be easy.
Yeah, the comment you quoted was before the business wire press release was available (or at least before I became aware of it). I have added note about that in the original comment.
As expected. Almost every E3 Nintendo has teased with a future game or two down the road. Nintendo isn't gping to drop all megatons at E3. Thats what a Direct is. I expect at least one more mini Direct before E3. Nintendo isn't like Sony or MS anymoreat E3. They like to space out their megatons.

Well, it says mainly focused on 2017, but that doesn't rule out the possibility for early 2018 games.

Switch has never had an E3, it won't just be Mario.
FTFY. Seriously, people are getting ignorant by now.

Unless Nintendo in a 1st, 2nd and 3rd party capacity went ALL IN during E3 2017, it would probably be a good idea to stay out if Nintendo E3 threads completely.
Ah my fear was they would give Arms a lot of time in the video presentation even though we've seen so much and it sounds like their big tickets are gonna be the same big three we already know about. I'll be happy to see more Mario but I'm not going to buy Arms and I'm skeptical about Splatoon 2 in regards to the new payment system. Ah well.
That's one way to draw conclusions I guess.

I see people actually think Nintendo won't talk about anything outside of 2017.
lol.

Didn't saw that one. I was referring mainly to E3.nintendo.com. That's good to know.

You can say that again. These are some of the weirdest reactions I've seen about E3 plans... it's like people either forgot how to read or forgot what happens at E3 every single year.
I don't want to set my expectations too high for the new Retro Studios game. I'm just really curious about what the heck they're working on. They've been quiet about their new game for years and every time we ask them about it, they pelt us with various images of BBQ.
Give us something this year Retro.

Considering they have an actual tournament in the days after the Showcase, I would assume at the very least they can exposit details on the stage. otherwise maybe 10 minutes top to explain a mode and reveal characters.
