If there isn't a new Mario platformer this year I have to wonder what exactly is going on. Even just looking at EAD Toyko:

You do realize they release only 1 Super Mario 3D game per console usually, right ? And it's pretty much linked to the console itself everytime, serving as a tech demo kinda.

Super Mario 64 (relying on the N64 analog stick) - Nintendo 64

Super Mario Sunshine (and its dolphin shaped Delfino island) - Game Cube (project name Dolphin)

Super Mario Galaxy (relying on the Wiimote pointer) - Wii

Super Mario 3D World - Wii U

Super Mario Odyssey (relying on the HD rumble of the Joycons) - Switch

The sole exception being Super Mario Galaxy 2.

Unlike Zelda where 2 main Zelda per console isn't uncommon

NES - TLOZ and Zelda II

SNES - ALTTP

N64 - OOT and MM

GameCube - The Wind Waker and Twilight Princess

Wii - Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword

Wii U - BOTW

Switch - BOTW and TOTK
