I think we could see something like this for Nintendo's next-gen devices.

Spring 2016-Nintendo Fusion handheld launch, Animal Crossing big launch title.

Summer 2016-Luigi's Mansion 3

Holiday 2016-Nintendo Fusion console launch, 3D Mario big launch title

Spring 2017-Mario Kart 9

Summer 2017-Twilight Princess HD

Holiday 2017-Pokemon Gen 7

These will be the real big titles released every few months with a bunch of smaller support titles mixed between.

I could see something like that, though I think they could have Mario Kart 9 for holiday 2016 too, the gap between MK7 and MK8 was 2 1/2 years, 2 1/2 years from May 2014 is pretty much December 2016, so it could make it I guess. 

But yeah I can agree with that too. 

May 2016 - Nintendo Fusion Handheld Launch (Japan w/US and Europe following in June/July):

Animal Crossing (big title), F-Zero (smaller title), third party stuff. 

June-October 2016 (post-launch period)

Luigi's Mansion 3, SMT x Fire Emblem (Wii U dual release)

November 2016 - Nintendo Fusion Home Version Launch

Super Mario Galaxy 3 (worldwide), Monster Hunter 5 (Japan)

The post launch period still kinda worries me though, Luigi's Mansion 3 is a pretty big title, but maybe not big enough to prevent a post launch lull and that's really hurt Nintendo in both of the last 2 cycle launches. Maybe add Hyrule Warriors 2 into that window? Mario Maker 2.0? 

I think Dragon Quest, like the Final Fantasy series has will go multiplat for 2017. Playstation 3/4 + Nintendo Fusion (Home and Portable) for DQXI. 

Ya I think Luigi's Mansion 3 is a big enough title for post-launch momentum, obviously it needs a couple smaller support titles perhaps a Pokemon spinoff like Mystery Dungeon or a Kid Icarus sequel. And I could also see Mario Kart 9 making it in time for holiday 2016, then early 2017 could have something like a Tropical Freeze port or Mario & Luigi.
