I still think that the real 3D Mario will be announced and released this year.

I've had this thought as well. It's just unbelievable that EAD Tokyo has been sitting on their hands for 7 years while EAD Tokyo 2 has produced 3 full Mario games and more. I'm not as confident as you, but I'd say there is a good chance of it. I'd say 75% or so.
