I guess Switch Sports just because, in the OS ability to restart in quick menu.

Metroid Prime Trilogy HD Switch a roo

I have no idea really something gonna happen
 
The more I think about it I doubt they'll show FE. Heroes/Echoes were promoted a bunch in the first half of the year and now Warriors is getting all the sun. I don't think they'd want to take attention away from Warriors or burn people out too badly by promoting four games in a single year. I think they'll probably continue doing a big event in January that pulls the curtain back on their plans for the year and we'll get a full reveal then.
 
My reasonable expectations:

- Details on XBC 2 with a release date in 2017.
- More details on Super Mario Odyssey including new never before seen Worlds
- Release date of Skyrim this year in 2017.
- More info on exclusive content for Rocket League
- Nintendo reveals achievement system, details online pay service.
- Fallout 4 revealed, Switch Edition
- LA Noire info detailed. Only first of support from Rockstar including GTA V and port of RDR
- Ubisoft unveils that BG&E2 is indeed a Switch Exclusive. Yves Guillemot video of him playfully palling around on Reggie piggy-back style.
- Super Smash Bros Switch revealed with over 70 characters including Snake, Ice Climbers, Wolf, Inkling, Travis Touchdown, Goku, Hatsune Miku, all the Rare characters, Q-Bert, Dirk the Daring General Custer to name a few.
- Square shows off more of Project Octopath traveler, releases full name. Reveals that Takahashi has acquired rights to Xenogears and giddyup, here comes the XG Episode 1 made by Monolithsoft.
- Platinum reveals Wonderful 101, Bayonetta 1+2, and Bayonetta 3 exclusively for Switch. Reveals Vanquish and MGS Rising ports. Reveal at the end of their segment that Nintendo has bought Platinum outright. They are making Scalebound, but due to MS owning rights to name, is now called Bound by Scale. Reveals that the main character Drew’s dragon is now named PhiSpencer but the dragon basically spends the whole game trying to knock Drew off his perch.
- Square comes back out, cancels PS4 version of FF7: RE and KH III. Now exclusive to Switch including a brand new FF6 remake and Chrono Break.
- EA revealing full support with their entire lineup. Vague in their description, but says that “everything is now Nintendo.”
- Valve comes out. Says Portal 3, Half Life 3, and L4D3 were always in development. Just for Switch. Because fuck everyone else.
- Capcom time: Video cuts to Kenzo Tsujimoto CEO of Capcom in front of a 40 foot gold plated statue of Hiroshi Yamauchi as he begs for forgiveness and to make recompense for his skepticism of the Switch. Redoubles effort with Monster Hunter, Deep Down, Megaman, DMC and Okami exclusively for Switch. Last shot is a knife being dropped next to a kneeling Tsujimoto. His fate is left unclear.
- New F-Zero game for Switch announced.

Yes please save FE reveal for next year. That franchise gets so much attention...
 
I'm actually really hoping they don't spend too long on Odyssey. We've seen lots now, all we need is a brief sizzle reel, perhaps showing glimpses of new kingdoms. Another 10 minutes would be awful:

They haven't had an amiibo functionality trailer yet, so prepare for the fanbase to implode and bridges to get burnt.
 
Just give me a release date for Hollow Knight, Owlboy, Stardew Valley, and Escapists 2. That's all I want. I'm tired of waiting to play games because the Switch version is coming "TBD 2017" :/
 
I'm expecting a pile of ports, split between first and third party, and dates for whichever of Kirby or Yoshi comes out first. Not really expecting non-port first party announcements.
 
So, this may be easier:

I DON'T expect:

- VC, since SNES Mini is right around the corner.
- Fire Emblem 2018 - again, the Warriors title is right around the corner
- Pokemon Switch - same thing
- Metroid Switch - also coming out on 3DS, no footage of the Switch version to not get people to wait
- Big western 3rd Party AAA - I could see South Park getting that announcement, but otherwise it's not the time for any western support to get announced that would be ready for this year.
- Mario Maker port - not before Odyssey is out.
 
I guess Nintendo will show of Metroid Samus Returns a last time since it comes out the day after!
