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.

Zelda isn't really a "port" from a consumers POV, it's a brand new game. I mean Nintendo could even do what they did with Twilight Princess and make the NX version come out first. I think Zelda + Mario in the launch window might be overkill. You probably are better off spacing them out, I'm assuming there will be other NX titles here too like say Diddy Kong Racing NX or whatever Retro's games is to think about also.
