Yeah I think that is pretty likely Here's the big question: Does EAD 2 have the resources to develop two games at once? I doubt Animal Crossing 3DS is taking up their whole man power and I speculated they could be making the "Chase Mii" game (the game that should come bundled with the hardware) which would make a Wii Sports for launch impossible - 3 games at once are simply too much. But thinking about it EAD 5 (Wii Fit and Wii Fit Plus) could actually be the ones responsible for the bundled game (their last game was Steel Diver). In that case EAD 2 could be working on Animal Crossing 3DS and Wii Sports U with EAD 5 handling development of "Chase Mii" and later Wii Fit. That means Wii Sports could be released late 2012 or first half of 2013. Wii Fit would probably follow suit about a year later. So:

2012 - Mario Bros., bundled game (could be part of the "Wii" series in the end) and one "core game"

2013 - Wii Sports (summer?), Mario Kart U, Pikmin 3, Wii Fit (early 2014?)

Of course that's all just speculation. It's what I'd do to maximise sales, though.

On Zelda: It depends on whether we'll get a 3DS Zelda first. Didn't Aonuma say something along the lines of "we'll make a real 3DS Zelda next"? In that case I'd expect Zelda U in late 2015. Smash Bros. should be ready for a late 2014 launch, though. So 3D Mario, Smash Bros. and possibly Wii Fit in 2014. This is loads of fun haha

EAD 5 should be able to make Wii Sports because of their recent sports/fitness tiles. They most likely won't have Chase Mii be a stand alone title. It's just too shallow of a game and I'm pretty sure it was just for demoing purposes. 

The question is if EAD 4 will have enough resources for NSMBM and Pikmin 3.


To clarify this: When I said "Chase Mii" I meant a compilation of games (they also showed "Shoot Mii" or whatever) to show off the capabilities of the controller. Basically all the demoes we've seen at e3 packed into a single game like Wii Sports.

Ah, I see now. I still don't think that those games wil be exactly like the ones shown off at E3.
