Sounds very believable.
This line-up should do well for Nintendo fans on the fence about WiiU but I have little faith in WiiFitU or Wii Party U to bring the casuals back (not with the gamepad at any rate). 2D Mario is much more casual friendly than 3D Mario and it did little to help WiiU so I'm not counting on 3D Mario to move casuals. Let's hope I'm wrong about all that. Mario Kart being pushed back until 2014 would be unfortunate (rather see Wii Party or Fit pushed back) as it would likely be WiiU's biggest sales driver.
IF NoA brings Fatal Frame and the new X(eno) game over, those along with Smash Bros, FE x SMT and a new Endless Ocean, and new Metroid might convince me to get a WiiU. The gamepad would actually work brilliantly for FF and EO but if I have to hold it up to act as a visor in Metroid (or otherwise take my eyes off the main screen) I will be awfully pissed. Optional Wiimote controls PLEASE.
