Yeah, I think he's referring to new installments of these IPs, not the 3D enhanced older titles that will probably be packed in as freebies anyways or cheap downloads.

This. I think he means new 3D Mario and 3D Zelda entries.

If they will appear any time in 2011 or 2012 they will be announced at E3 most likely.

Honestly, I don't think we'll see a "new" Zelda on 3DS within the next few years.  I'd expect a MM remake and TWW port to probably happen first.

Mario I can see though, but probably not 3D like 64/Sunshine/Galaxy1-2, though we get ports/remakes of those.  NSMB3(D) should be a 2012 game though.
