DKCTF was very much set and confirmed for a holiday 2013 release. They better not screw this up. Such long waits between games... :/

Nintendo would have to be insane  to delay Smash Bros 4 to 2015. Not only would it hurt Wii U's sales during the holiday season ( Smash Bros 4 would also miss huge sales during the holiday season), but it would also make the  wait for the Smash Bros 4 much longer than necessary.

Yes, well, they've gone 2 holiday seasons without Mario Kart on Wii U too, which passes as insane, imo.

Mario Kart on Gamecube and Wii both missed 2 holiday seasons so its just following the trend of console Mario Kart releasing 1.5-2 years after console launch.

GameCube is Nintendo's lowest selling console ever, and widely considered a failure, and Wii was on fire anyway, with or without MK. Wii U could've very, very much done with MK8 at launch or during its second holiday on th market.

And u think Nintendo knew Wii U would be selling poorly at this point? In order to get Mario Kart 8 out in time for holiday 2013 they would have had to bump the game up 6 months which would have given us a Mario Kart 7 scensrio where it feels rushed.

Mario Kart 7 released holiday 2011 and I assume developers take a small break before jumping right into making a new game so lets say they started development January 1, 2012. That would give the Mario Kart team less than 2 years to make a game on new hardware while also making there first HD game. Yeah its possible but it would have been rushed and not up to standards.
