Sonic Mania, Uncharted: Lost Legacy, Mario + Rabbids, Cuphead, Super Mario Odyssey, and Xenoblade Chronicles 2. If Hollow Knight makes it to Switch this year, add that to the list.

Lots of other stuff I'll get to eventually, like The Evil Within 2 and Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus.

Cuphead
Wolfenstein

Destiny 2 and Battlefront 2 as well but I'm not as excited as I am the other two currently.

StarCraft Remastered, which I've already got pre-ordered. Probably Wolfenstein 2 as well. I think those are the only two at this point.

Currently only XCOM 2 - War of the Chosen and maybe Wolfenstein: The New Colossus

I had consider getting Shadow of War but that changed after the microtransactions announcement

Yakuza Kiwami and Call of Duty: WW2. Trying to finish my backlog (Just Yakuza 0 and NiER left) so I can justify buying a Switch with Zelda next year.

Cuphead will be day 1 for me. I will wait for reviews on Evil Within 2, but that could be as well.

It's also possible I'm gonna pick up the new CoD on release day for the first time in years, but that'll heavily depend on the beta.

Well I bought Trails of Cold Steel (PC) day 1.
Others are going to be Ys VII (PC) and Zwei II (PC), coming sometime in August~September.

Then there's still Ys VIII on September 12th (which is missing from your list unless I can't read) and Tokyo Xanadu eX+ sometime in fall. I may or may not get one of those day 1, but I'm very likely not done with the other games at this point, so they'll probably have to wait.

Jesus Christ OP! I wish I had the expendable income that you have! Here's my list:

  • Sonic Mania
  • Uncharted: Lost Legacy
  • Destiny 2
  • Cuphead
  • Mario Odyssey
  • Assassin's Creed: Origins
  • Call of Duty WWII
  • Battlefront 2
  • Need for Speed
  • Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle

Six of the games on that list are going to be free thanks to Bing rewards, so the only things I'll need money for are Sonic, Mario, Mario+ and my Xbox One X. I really can't complain!
