I really hope this doesn't mean they are taking away material from the already-being-developed nsmb for Wii U.

My feeling is that this was a fallback plan if 3d mario didn't do well, meaning they didn't originally have a 2d title planned

I don't get this. 3D Land is doing fucking fantastic - so I doubt it's a "fallback" plan.

I'm notorious for misunderstanding things, tho.

It's not a fallback plan. Nintendo said themselves that SM3DL was doing good. The DS had SM64DS and then they came out with NSMB, they always do it.
