In this thread you can make predictions about anything that will happen relating to Nintendo in 2017. Feel free to also make other threads for different game companies, etc. as well.

Here's mine, I may end up adding some more later:

- Nintendo Switch will be $249 at launch
It was $299, although I was close enough
- Mario game will be a Switch launch title
Nope, it was a holiday release
- Pikmin 4 revealed for Switch and releases in fall
No again, and I was pretty disappointed about this one, maybe next year?
- New Splatoon game releases on Switch
Correct!
- Mario Kart 8+ is a Switch launch window game 
Correct, about a month after the Switch launched, although it was not titled this lol
- Animal Crossing mobile will release in April
Very wrong, it released in November
- Fire Emblem mobile will release in June
It came much earlier than expected
- Breath of the Wild will be highly regarded as one of the best Zelda games
Very very right
- New Animal Crossing game of some sort releases
I guess if you're counting the mobile game?
- Ever Oasis is pretty unsuccessful but a good game
Yes! It's one of my favorites from the year, very underrated
- New content released for Super Mario Maker on Switch
The game doesn't exist lol
- Switch features touch screen and motion control
Yes

I would say so!
- Beyond Good and Evil 2 is Switch exclusive
We still don't know yet, although I highly doubt it

If you count 1-2 Switch then I guess so
- New Nintendo Warriors crossover game releases for Switch
Fire Emblem Warriors!

It released in November but yes
- Smash for Switch features playable Inkling
The game doesn't seem to exist or hasn't been revealed yet so we have no idea
- Indies love Switch
Of course
- 3DS support dies out by end of year
Mostly, although there are a couple games still coming out in 2018, both first and third party

Nope, Pikmin 4 still hasn't even been revealed
- New Mario spinoff releases for Switch
Mario + Rabbids?
- Luigi's Mansion revealed for Switch

Nope, nope
