Disclaimers: Yes I am judging immediately from very limited screenshots/video, and flop means in financial expectations of Nintendo not that it won't sell a million.
Mario 3DS
Look at the screenshot. Particularly the left edge of the lower left image. It's the edge of a floating platform. Also the ? block. It's reusing art assets from Galaxy/Galaxy 2.
It's Super Mario Galaxy 3.
Due to this and being in the same position as Super Mario 64 DS (3D Mario near launch), I think it will sell less than either of SMG2 and SM64DS and be the weakest selling main Mario game ever. From what I can see it has nothing to attract new people to Mario if they didn't already like Galaxy; it doesn't look like a coherent Mushroom Kingdom and looks like a linear series of arbitrary platforming challenges (contrast Mario 64's large worlds to explore).

i don't understand how you can glean that much from four screenshots, way to early to make a judgement on this

HIs talk when he introduced the game made it sound like it's just another 3D platformer like 64 or galaxy, and art assets from galaxy appear to be being reused. It is maybe a bit too early to judge, but I think it definitely looks like SMG3.
The tail in the logo was all mysterious though, so there could be something interesting. My speculation is it's going to play alot like galaxy, but have the racoon feather making there more freedom in moving planets.
