This is very different though, since all those platforms have 1, been completely unrelated library wise and 2, haven't come out under a unified ecosystem. A new Mario Kart could come out every 3 years before because they worked on a forked linearity where the handheld Mario Karts were unrelated to the console ones. That won't be the case with the NX.
If a new NX MK comes out that soon, it will be technically the second console MK in 3 years, and then there won't be another one for a long time after that because there wouldn't be a separate handheld version they need to make, or vice versa the way you look at it.
No, none of those games are releasing that soon. Though, again, I can see them releasing NX remastered rereleases of those games with cross play (between the NX and Wii U versions), a save file transfer, and all the DLC added. Basically Mario Kart 8: Deluxe and Super Smash Bros. for NX. That's it though. Those games released too late in the Wii U's very short live cycle for unified sequels to come out that early in the NX's.
But like I said in another thread, I think it would be advantageous for Nintendo to just turn those games into platforms on the NX from which they can just indefinitely update with new software from. (And Splatoon 2 when it's F2P/launches with real content this time)
