Then Feb will be empty for JP/EU, and Jan will be empty for NA.

Really though, there's no excuse for there not to be a game a month save for sheer incompetence. Any efficient dev could have churned out Mario Maker in a few months.

Maybe Nintendo doesn't want to churn out one of their most important releases of the year.

Besides, if Nintendo had churned it out in a few months, it would have been released this year. Maybe even last year. That wouldn't have helped them with next year's lineup -- unless, of course, EAD 4 was expected to churn out another Mario game every few months! Then they'd be able to release up to four brand new Mario games in 2015!

Every month that goes by without a major release in 2015 will just be a example of Nintendo being foolish. I can understand a game like Xenoblade Chronicles  X or the new Zelda taking time, but Mario Maker and Mario Party 10 are simple, easy-to-produce games that should be ready for Q1. Those are easy stop-gap fillers, or would be if Nintendo grasped the damage that droughts cause.
