Aww, I would've liked Metroid Prime 4 on the Wii U over a 3DS entry...

But games are games, and we need games.

The rumor makes it sound like two Metroid games are being developed by Retro.

Yeah but it sounds like it won't be out for a while either way.

Also, why delay Mario Kart until next year? It is the definition of a system seller so releasing it this holiday will really ignite sales. 

because of the deal Nintendo has with SEGA. It would make no sense for Nintendo to partner with SEGA then have all their own IP's cut into the 3 Sonic games SEGA has planed this holiday. They most likely let SEGA have the big push for Christmas and Nintendo will continue the momentum in spring.

I guess so, but I'd imagine that whatever Nintendo could launch would create the momemtum and SEGA could carry it on in the Spring. That would work much better. 

But, we don't know what this "third game" is yet.

Absolutely. But Nintendo has entered into a partnership for exclusive content and is in sense more obligated to make the deal more favorable to partner. Whats more favorable to SEGA..huge Xmas push or ..Spring after Xmas?
