I can believe all of that except for a huge 3D Mario game as a launch title. We're long past the days of great launch games.

It's been in production since SM3DW launched. Koizumi already confirmed it in April 2014.  At the time he said he wasn't sure if it would end up on Wii U or the next system.  Had the Wii U taken off in sales, they may have delayed NX but now I think we can be sure that the next 3D Mario will launch with NX.

Pikmin 3 was going to be a launch title too, as it had been in development for several years.  Basically I've come to expect nothing when it comes to timely releases.  If anything, deciding to put it on NX instead will mean that they'll whip up some jazz about needing more development time, and we'll all wonder why they didn't see it coming in the first place.
