I have to think there is a Nintendo Universe type title coming for 2015, there has to be because otherwise Nintendo is kinda stuck with Smash Bros. as their lead game or some Amiibo will have fairly limited functionality compared to others (because for example Tom Nook won't work with Smash Bros.).

That might also clear up the "there's noting for the 3DS in 2015!" thing, Nintendo Universe for 3DS + Wii U may be their big holiday title. Especially if Zelda U gets delayed.

Nintendo already revealed that some Amiibos will only work with Smash.

Those Amiibos will also only be available for a limited time:

I think there has to be a hub game coming regardless. That way Nintendo won't be so limited, and like the kid who wants to buy say a Tom Nook Amiibo because he/she thinks it looks neat but doesn't have Animal Crossing for the 3DS ... well they should be able to get some use of their figure too. 

I dunno if it has to be a game that plays just like Skylanders, I guess it could be something more like Nintendo Land 2 with mini-games, but if you scan in your Amiibo, you can control that character through the mini-games.
