NX launch line-up if or, let's be honest, when it releases this year?

If they have Zelda for launch and possibly Smash Brothers too ... I think even if they could also have Mario at launch, they'll probably in that case hold off Mario.

Better to have to Mario in the dreaded post-launch drought period, you don't need to blow your wad on the launch.

I think Smash Brothers could be more than just a Wii U port too, IMO it would make more sense to release a Smash All-Stars/Collection type deal with Brawl and Melee also included with upgraded graphics. MS did it with Halo Collection and Sony did it with Uncharted Collection. That moves it from being a "port" to being something that likely is a bigger system mover. 

Legend of Zelda - November 16

Smash Bros. Collection - December 16

Super Mario NX - March 2017

 

Makes more sense than having all three jammed together within 6 weeks of each other or something. 

I see Smash more in February- March 2017 and Mario NX at launch, to fill the gaps.

2 ports for launch would be bad. Zelda HD and Mario NX seems like a more interesting launch.
