Super Mario Galaxy 3 + Animal Crossing Next will be launch window titles for the Nintendo Fusion handheld in 2016 ... they have to know they simply cannot afford another weak launch like the 3DS and Wii U had.

Luigi's Mansion 3 will probably go the same route. Mario Kart 9 for holiday 2016 for the new platform. That should ensure at least a decent start for Nintendo.

I think the Wii U will get one Metroid game in 2016 and maybe a Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 HD collection as its send off.

I suspect as well that Nintendo "reward" Wii U owners by giving them a free game download when they buy a Nintendo Fusion as an extra thank you for sticking with them through an unpopular console generation.

A good Mario Kart 8, Splatoon, Bayonetta 2, Xenoblade X, Hyrule Warriors, Mario 3D World, Mario Maker, Zelda U, Metroid U, Star Fox U, Fatal Frame V, Pikmin 3, maybe a Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 Collection, NSMBU, DKC: Tropical Freeze ... plus a free game deal, I think most Nintendo fans will be relatively satisfied with that level of effort from Nintendo. 

A good analysis. Even if I basically agree with it I am skeptical that Zelda U will be ready in that time.

The first trailer for Monoliths X came in January 2013. It looked quite nice and you could imagine the finished game, but one and a half years later we still wait for a release date. From the demo to release it will be at least two and a half years. 

From Zelda U at E3 2014 and counting two and a half years we will be happy if it makes Christmas 2016. It is a more complex game than X.
