I'd like to think that, after the Wii U sales dropped early in 2013, Iwata's first action was to establish an extensive lineup of new games in development... but of course, they can't announce the games that early. So I'm hoping there are some surprises in a ND this month, just in time to convince investors and gamers that it's not time to write off the Wii U.
Just about anything is possible, but I'd imagine that things being announced now would be games that are relatively quick to develop, games that can be expected relatively soon. Then, the longer-to-make games would be announced at E3 - Metroid, for instance. I'd also like to think that most of the studios that finished 3DS titles in 2012 and early 2013 will have been spending the intervening time developing for Wii U, as that's where Nintendo needs the most content.
Intelligent Systems has only made Game & Wario for Wii U (co-developed with SPD1), and are probably overseeing (but not developing) SMTxFE. With both Fire Emblem Awakening and Paper Mario Sticker Star having released a year ago, that leaves Intelligent Systems with nothing announced, despite having around 2-3 titles released every year or so. I'd like to think that Paper Mario U is lined up for 2014, since, not counting Mario Golf and Mario Kart (as they're sporting type games), there's no Mario set for 2014 as yet.
