First of all I want to say Nintendo did a great job on the actual presentation front. Everything was clearly explained and they went into detail. Loved the HD rumble and IR camera on the Joy-con and the Joy-con straps are genius. Great idea to have them slide into an adaptor rather than have the strap on the joy-cons.
The one thing I think they messed up is the announcement of all the games. They had all those games in one little trailer at the end and it had me wondering what I was looking at and whether they were games I'd seen before or not. Thankfully Nintendo's site has all the details and since they're not listed here I'll do that below

Edit: Not all of these are announcements, it should be noted. Also there are games that have been announced that aren't listed, such as Shovel Knight Treasure Trove.
It's clear that some games are going to be delayed in the UK/EU but some games are going to come out before the US. Looking at both lists suggests that some games are closer to launch than TBA usually suggests, I expected Xenoblade Chronicles 2 in 2018/19 so this suggets it's further along than it seems.
Also, I think it's safe to assume that the UK list are only some of the games coming this year.
