Well, Pikmin 3 hasn't even been confirmed yet.

We know Nintendo is making a new Pikmin game, but it may not be a direct sequel to the GC games. Besides, how do we know it's a Wii game and not a DS game. For example, after Metroid Prime 1 and Metroid Prime 2, Nintendo made a side story game for the DS, Metroid Prime Hunters. So Pikmin may be a new DS game, with a sidestory. Same could be said for Zelda and Mario, we just don't know the platform.

Also Kid Icarus hasn't been hinted at by Nintendo themselves.

 

Pikmin 3, Zelda, and Mario was confirmed at E3 2008... by Miyamoto himself...Hell Miyamoto confirmed that the next CONSOLE Zelda was in development since before TP came out... he said he was taking it in a new direction with the motion controls... and that was the last we heard until E3 2008.

Zelda goes in cycles like always... console, handheld, console, handheld, (Wind Waker, Link to the Past GBA, TP, Phantom hourglass)

And Kid Icarus doesn't need to be hinted at from Nintendo when everyone on the inside knows it exists, who's developing it, etc.  It's been in dev for almost a year now if not a year already, hell the IGN guys got to play it...

Nintendo probably hasn't announced anything with a huge display of the games, release dates, etc. is because of their new gameplan, if they annouce a game not long before it releases there are fewer unhappy people bitching about release dates being pushed back and with the new crowd of gamers they don't want to seem like they'll never get their game or in some cases they don't IE Earthbound 64/ or Mother 3 which never came stateside.
