No, definitely too early, also I dont think they can complete new game is such short time if we know they worked on post launch content. Worst case would be to rush second game after great reception of first game. Holiday 2017. would be great if they can finish till then. |
Would be 1 1/2 years after the first game, and they would still have another 6-12 months to continue to release additional content, so basically the game would be finished 2- 2 1/2 years after the first one.
To me that would work and would ensure a strong launch in the Japanese market. Keep in mind too I think this is a bit of a special case in that a lot of people will not have gotten a chance to play the game because the Wii U has such a small userbase.
In the same way I think Mario Maker should be very early in the NX life cycle too.
Mario Kart 9 can be fall 2017. I'd try to go like this personally
Launch (November 2016)
Legend of Zelda NX (also on Wii U)
December 2016
Splatoon 2 launch
March/April 2017
Super Mario NX
Summer 2017
Animal Crossing NX
November 2017
Mario Kart 9
I'd space out the "big" guns like that.
