Started one year ago?  How did Nintendo not make their biggest money making franchise sooner.  Also I'm kinda surpirised about how fast they made the game, in the back of my head I'm starting to think maybe it might be a little rushed, hoping its not.

It'll have been almost 2 years in development by the time they release MK8, so I think that's plenty of time of time for game like this. Plus I believe they said they're gonna take as much time as needed for this game, so I'm betting that means they'll delay if they have too.

I doubt they would delay it, there gonna need something big early next year to keep momentum going after the holidays. A 2nd drought could very well hurt them beyond repair. Worst case scenario, they do what they did with Mario Kart 7 and they get another team to help them out.

They postponed Brawl and LoZ:TP numerous times, so I don't think a MK8 delay is out of the question. Besides, there's Yoshi Yarn, SMT x FE, Bayonetta 2, X, SSB4, that third Sonic exclusive, etc. that could be releasing around the time MK8 would have, so momentum should be maintainable even without MK8. Plus, it's not like the Wii U will be in the same position is was in last year, where it had NSMBU and nothing else. This time it's library will be much more robust with SM3DW, WWHD, DKCTP, WiiFitU, Sonic:LW, Pikmin3, and so ons.
