Funny how every studio can be tied up and yet neither 3DS nor Wii U has anything coming out.

What are the plausible E3 games for this year? Mario Kart? Retro project?

I like speculation and educated guesses so here's my two cents for this e3 and potential 2013 releases:

EAD1 - Mario Kart U (very likely)

EAD2 - Wii Sports U (maybe early 2014 but a Wii Sports game doesn't take that much time to develop and they even showed a prototype at e3 2011 - alongside Wii Fit U and Mario U, both of which became actual games!)

EAD Tokyo - 3D Mario (possibly late 2013 as the team making 3D Land was probably smaller than the Galaxy team so Mario U would have a 3 year dev cycle)

Retro Studios - ?? ( some new project, we really don't know but their last game released in 2010 so they should be able to show us some footage at least)

 

Games for 2014:

EAD 3 - Wii U Zelda (this one WILL be out in 2014 - Iwata didn't ask them to speed up dev time, he commanded it)

Sakurai's Team - Smash Bros. (they will push to get this out by late 2014, as Smash is a long term seller)

I think we might get Smash Bros. even earlier in 2014, around springtime.

It seems like you're very confident in a 2014 Zelda, which makes me very happy. I had guessed it would debut in 2015. What makes you so sure?

I'm expecting a 3D Mario land game and Mario Kart 8 for 2014, and Smash Bros for the year after, and a new Zelda in 2016.

Or 2015. Zelda usually takes 4-5 years to develop. :D

Super Mario 3D (EAD Tokyo) -- November 2013

Mario Kart U (EAD) -- December 2013

Bayonetta 2 (Platinum) -- spring 2014

Super Smash Bros. U (Nintendo/Namco) -- spring 2014

November/December 2015 seems plausible to me. Of course that also could lead to a 2016 release if they don't get it done in time^^

Mario Kart U is coming this Christmas. Bet the farm on it. Nintendo will pull Retro off whatever they're doing to help that's what it takes to get it done on time.

Especially with these dire sales. They need Mario Kart stat.

As a purely digital release - Maybe

As a retail release - NO CHANCE IN HELL!

If true, that would be a disaster for Nintendo. I think it's much more likely that we'll get Super Mario Universe and/or Mario Kart U-Turn (thanks to Level1Death for that name) in 2013, Smash Bros. in 2014, and Zelda in 2015.
