Donkey Kong (produced in house)

Mario Kart (produced in house)

Xenogame (produced in house)

Bayonetta (made by Platinum) 

Hyrule Warriors (made by Koei & Nintendo)

Smash Bros (made by Bamco & Nintendo)

Not confirmed but already announced:

Fire Emblem vs (In House)

Yoshi's Epic Yarn (In house)

Do you have a source showing that Warriors or Smash have any Nintendo devs involved? As far as I'm aware, they're entirely external projects. Good-Feel is not owned by Nintendo, so that's not in-house. Fire Emblem development is shared between Intelligent Systems and Atlus, so it's only partly in-house. And neither of those games are confirmed for 2013.

Anyway you say they have little more to announce for this year, when they have announced only six (or eight) games, yet released twelve last year.

Nintendo always keeps a few prime people in charge of those projects.  They talk about doing so in several interviews.

As for the games.  Nope look at the games list from wikipedia I copied into my other post.  They published some third party games they had nothing to do with making like lego city undercover.  They only made about 7 at most.  A few of those were farmed out.
