I honestly suspect that Nintendo has had publishers keep all of their 2014 titles secret, for some big unveiling, or something like that (1). Consider that neither Sega nor Ubisoft (2), both of whom have been supporting Nintendo very strongly, have anything announced for 2014. A similar thing can be noted regarding Namco Bandai and Tecmo Koei (2), both of which have supported Nintendo quite well, and both of which are co-developing titles with Nintendo (3).

"(2) Those publishers don't sell jackshit on Nintendo platform (or at last not that more than on Vita, where digital sales are higher)"

REALLY? The top 3 Namco Bandai games on 3DS combined outsell the top 8 Namco Bandai & Tecmo Koei games on Vita combined. The Top 5 on 3DS all sell better than the best on Vita. Ridge Racer 3D alone quadrupled Ridge Racer Vita head-to-head. I stopped the Vita list when the global sales got down to .10, but for the sake of brevity I stopped the 3DS at .18 or would have been much longer.
