| JEMC said: I can see Nintendo trying to have those games ready for the launch of NX. But c'mon, it's Nintendo, there will be delays. |
Zelda is pretty much a given, I'd bet that game has been sitting almost finished for a while, Nintendo purposely has refused to release it because they didn't want to waste it on Wii U alone.
Mario ... like I said the EAD Tokyo team that made Mario 3D World is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay overdue for a new game even by Nintendo's standards. By June 2017, it will have been 3 1/2 years since Super Mario 3D World.
So, to be honest, Mario + Zelda in the first six months at least are not really surprising at all.
This is EAD Tokyo's release schedule
Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat - spring 2005
Super Mario Galaxy - November 2007
Super Mario Galaxy 2 - May 2010 (according to EAD Tokyo this game could've been released earlier, but Nintendo had NSMB Wii for fall 2009)
Super Mario 3D Land - November 2011
Super Mario 3D World - November 2013
Captain Toad - November 2014 (note: this game was made by a small offshoot of the main EAD Tokyo team)
Nothing - 2015
Nothing - 2016
Super Mario NX (?) - Summer 2017 (?)
