I really like your thread and think this is a good idea, it's good to see all the info written down. I'd caution against suggesting stuff like Twilight Princess or Four Swords remakes being in development, that seems more like wishful thinking than reasoned analysis. Nintendo are working on both a new 3D and a new multiplayer Zelda, so I don't see any reason for remakes.

Project Giant Robot appears to have been quietly shelved, from what I've read; it may re-appear further down the line. Project Guard has been handed over to Platinum to be developed into a full game, see this just after the landmaster screenshot: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2015-06-16-nostalgia-and-experiment-meet-in-star-fox-zero

I'd also wonder, given the cross-overs in DLC for Kart 8, if the Mario Kart team are now making Super Smash Racing, or Nintendo All-Stars Kart for NX, rather than Kart 9. Again, that's mostly speculation, though. I look forward to seeing a breakdown of what Nintendo's satellite studios have been working on.

Thanks for the feedback! Indeed, some of it is wishful thinking. Still, the most logic thing that could come from the EAD 4/Grezzo relationship would be another Zelda remake in my opinion. On the other hand, Grezzo may get to remake another N64 title for 3DS (like Yoshi's Story or Wave Race 64). Or Nintendo may just drop them like a rock. It's all possible, that's why I'm calling it a guesstimate

Thanks for the info on Project Guard! Didn't know that. It doesn't really matter overall though. EAD 5 has a history of co-developing ALL of their games. I don't see them starting another big project until Star Fox Zero is finished. Maybe they'll do a little Steel Diver game for WiiU still, but I have my doubts about that.

And yup, Mario Kart 9 may be something more of a Super Smash Racing. Or they can plan a lot more DLC for it with cross-over characters. We'll see.
