We can guess. I'd wager that's what Nintendo's going for, but looking at what happened to Pikmin 3 I'm not taking that for granted.

Delays happen, even to Nintendo, and the fact that we still don't have release dates for their Q2 games means they aren't coming any time soon. They can probably hit Q4 for both of them, but I'm not 100% certain of that.

I agree, but then again, this is Mario. Pikmin's less than nothing compared to Mario - especially a 3D Mario platformer and Mario Kart. Personally, I'm fully convinced both will be out this year. They're the very definition of system sellers.

Pikmin 3 was supposed to be a Wii title. That never happened, while at the same time Nintendo put out Mario Galaxy 1 and 2, as well as Mario Kart 7, NSMBW, NSMB 2 and NSMBWU. Plus approximately 1,090 other Mario games.

Certainly all that's true. I don't think there's much chance they will be delayed, I'm just not ruling it out. I've learned not to take things for granted where Nintendo's concerned, especially with respect to the Wii U, so I'm waiting to hear what they're planning first before I decide whether it will work.

Fair enough - this is Nintendo we're talking about, after all.
