It could have been launched at the VGA's but that didn't happen either ;)
Waking up to this is.. not what I expected heh..
MPT and Persona 5 seems very likely. Link to the past though is such a mindtwist

Seriously, if the Ori rumors are true, as well as those like Persona 5 - Switch is the ONLY system I play anymore, and due to its portable nature has moved into the very top spot for me now. I cannot think of anything else I need on the system other than a FFT port
Link to the Past is cool, but I wish Nintendo showed more love to the Oracle games, especially now that Fujibayashi is a Nintendo employee and director of the most successful Zelda game of all time. He could use some of his capital to do us all a solid!
Current guesses:
"Just" a reversal of their subscription pushing strategy? I'd say that would be bigger than a remake for me.
- P5S for the concert thing.
- MPT in hibernation until MP4 shapes up, or until there's a release hole.
- No April Direct.
- LttP listing a real product but messed up. Like LttP themed Switch cover or something.

Sorry but a Link to the Past makes no sense whatsoever, we just had a 2D Zelda remake already.
A mini Direct with Trilogy and P5 in it? That would be anything but mini lol.
Yes, Best Buy Canada in 2017 had 3 games found prior to E3 2017. Outside of Pikmin World the other games showed themselves eventually. (Pikmin is in never ending development...) Best Buy later said the listings in particular were inaccurate at the time though.
Super Smash Bros (officially March 2018 Direct)
Pikmin World (unannounced)
Dragon Quest XI Switch (officially Dec 2018)

That would make sense, but I think it also makes sense that Nintendo would try to sate Prime fans with a port to make the .wait easier. I mean, the Bayo port hit Switch in February 2018, and that'll probably be more than two years before Bayo 3 releases so who knows
MP4 is so far off that they might as well release MPT as soon as possible to fill the Metroid void in the library.
You never know how things will turn out but MP4 could even end up being a Switch 2 launch game, so I'm not sure delaying MPT would be best for business overall.
Plot Twist, the Best Buy listing for Link to the Past is for:

Ocarina of Time (3D) HD
Majora's Mask (3D) HD

On the other hand, there are three games in MPT, which would take awhile to complete. We'll need time to play through them -and- to recover from the burnout so we still have an appetite for MP4. :3
persona 5 coming to switch?
well i don't think anyone saw that one coming. MPT was kinda sorta confirmed too. but i wonder what ALttP means. if it turns out the link's awakening remake is in fact a dual pack of both, i will scream.

None of this is particularly surprising tbh. Everyone saw Persona 5 coming, and I thought Metroid Prime Trilogy was all but confirmed at this point.
I know, but that doesn't mean there can't still be some kind of confusion there.
See I think it makes more sense now as a "sorry it's taking so long" Assuming it's a December 2021 title (a big assumption) Having Prime Remastered in 2019 and another 2D remaster in 2020 along with 18 months worth of trailers is about the perfect hype cycle for MP4

Sorry for the late reply. He said in the Kinda Funny podcast that he hadn't heard anything about a Switch version and wasn't expecting it anytime soon if it does happen. Of course, the wording of him not hearing anything doesn't mean it doesn't exist
