Predictions, predictions....
1. Mario Odyssey is the main highlight as expected. There's statues of Mario holding his sentient cap, the Hat flying machine, Bowser in his pimp costume. Nothing we haven't seen before. The booth is decorated to look like New Donk City and there are like 20+ monitors set up there for the public to play. There is a video feed, and new stuff shown. Mushroom Kingdom to be a playable level. Probably the intro level. Other new levels shown are a Haunted Mansion of sorts as well as a sky level with towers. Old powerups, fire flower, starman, propeller hat, cloud hat return. I suspect they are tied to the Crazy Cap store and the sentient hat this time instead of pickups. New powerup that seems to give Mario electricity powers exists. More footage of existing levels are also shown.
2. ARMS gets a booth as expected. Nothing exciting
3. Splatoon 2 gets a booth. There is a video feed there too. A level with lots of slopes resembling an indoor skate park is shown and there's also a level with floating platforms in like a swimming pool or something.
4. Mario and Rabbids Kingdom Battle gets a booth as well. Not sure if this has been leaked yet but the player character appears to be a UFO rabbit of sorts commanding the characters around.
5. Fire Emblem Warriors gets a booth. The mage (Tharja?) from Awakening is playable, as are Marth and Camilla.
6. Pokken Tournament gets a booth.
7. Xenoblade 2 gets a booth. Nothing very interesting, looks like the first one with an anime skin. No idea what the story is, but the rolling grassy fantasy areas are there.
8. Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE is getting a port.
9. Pilotwings + Waverace is a new game, set on wuhu island and resembles the 3ds pilotwings and wii sports resort jetskiing.
10. Square Enix's octopath traveller is there
11. Sonic Mania and Forces have booths. There is a new level in Mania that is shown off, similar to sky sanctuary. Forces is, well, forces.
12. Monster Hunter XX port is coming. I know it's been announced in Japan but this is the localised version. 3ds and switch versions will both be playable.
13. Sin and Punishment Angel's Ascent is a new game in the Sin and Punishment series.
14. Skyrim for Nintendo Switch has a booth. Graphics seem to be improved.
15. Project Mekuru (that low budget panel flipping eshop game) has a booth.
16. Speaking of 3ds, Ever Oasis, Hey Pikmin, Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, and the new Kirby eshop games will all be playable.
17. There are also tons of indies including Stardew valley and Yooka Laylee.
