A January Direct doesn't mean something is imminent. It could be next week or 4 weeks from now.

I'm so happy we were able to cross TMS from that list! I thought for sure it would remain trapped on the Wii U, but now I'm finally able to play this game!

I still think that we'll get XCX sooner or later, but definitely not this year.
The situation surrounding The Wonderful 101 is a little complicated.

I'm not saying a Switch port won't/can't ever happen, but I don't personally see it releasing this year (2020).

Doesn't matter anyways. There's other Wii U games getting ports to Switch this year.
Don't invest too much hope in XCX in 2020.
I'm fine with waiting for X but what I really hope is that Xenoblade DE isn't a late 2020 game. I don't want to wait for an ENTIRE year before getting a possible tease for Monolith's next title.

I'm happy for more Wii U ports this year and I know there's no way that X is one of them but that is my absolute most wanted Switch port by a million miles. Maybe someday.

Real talk though, I fully expect Nintendo to have nearly 20 first/second party games between retail and eShop, and maybe up to 30 counting territorial publishing deals. Anybody thinking 1 game (or less) a month is extremely underrating them. They've got the muscle and the momentum, and this is the first full year that they're completely focused on one machine in a long time.
