3D Mario will be this year.
The main EAD Tokyo team's last project was Super Mario Galaxy 2 which was released in June 2010, but was actually finished even before then and Nintendo was just sitting on it because NSMB Wii had just released the November prior.
So to November 2013, that'll have been over 3 1/2 years since Galaxy 2. They are overdue for a new game.
And no Super Mario 3D Land was NOT made by the main Galaxy team, they were made by a smaller group inside EAD Tokyo.
