That is pretty crazy though - getting three huge franchises within the same year?

I think one of them at least will be released this year while the other two - one in the beginning and one at the end of next year.

Pikmin 3 will surely pick up a bit for the Wii-U around the late summer/early fall time and possibly a 3D mario or SSB4 for this late fall/early winter. (Just guessing ;p).

I can see SSB4 being released in time for christmas/BF kinda like how Melee was released.

 

 

No way Smash Bros. comes out this year. Nintendo doesn't rush things just to get them out. If they did, they would have had games out during the first half of 2013. That is doubly true for Smash Bros. I seriously doubt there will be any playable version of the game this year even, just pics, if we're lucky MAYBE some kind of promo video. They literally just started development at some point late last year, as far as I recall.

 

 

As for 3D Mario and Mario Kart, I think there's a chance we could get both this year, but then again.

I think we will see a situation like we did with Wii where all 3 release within 6 months of each other. Mario Kart this holiday, 3D Mario Q1 2014, Smash Q2 2014. Also Smash got started as soon as Kid Icarus was finished which was early 2012 so its been in development for over a year. I think a trailer is def doable for E3.
