Many people here are saying that there will be a new 3D Mario released at launch for NX. While I would love for this to be true, I am somewhat skeptical of this. Mainly because we haven't really heard much other than that report a couple years back that EAD was working on a new Mario game. I realize that Nintendo could ninja us again like they did with SM3DW and announce at E3/launch in November, but I'm just not sure that will happen this year.

My guess is that NX launch will have:
-Zelda Wii U port
-Smash for Wii U port
-Pikmin 4
-Some Ubisoft game (BG&E2?)
-FFXV

And that's it. Wouldn't shock me if they pushed the next 3D Mario to 2017.

 

It'll have been 3 years since the last console 3D Mario, which also was the case for 3D World (2013) and Galaxy 2 (2010), and they just released Mario Maker last year so they probably don't want to do another 2D Mario just yet. At the very least it'll be announced, but yeah it could fall to 2017, though they really should have something more than ports carrying the launch.
