Retro title confirmed 2013?

I don't expect retro until at least 2014 now. We may even get x before we get whatever they are working on at this point.

I knew this all along... XD

doesn't mean it wont be revealed or announced this year (at e3 or elsewhere)though, eh?

I'm 99% sure it will come out this year as they have been developing it since 2010 at least.

A NFC game could lead to a new IP or... Pokémon! :D
A special pokemon game that could connect to the 3DS games!

Nintendo will not go out quiet. I expect some major Wii U releases this year.

NCL has been hiring like crazy since late 2011 to beef up it's EAD teams and increase head-counts at many of it's second-party studios as well I presume, so this year and next year I expect there to be more Nintendo-made games come out in quick succession than possibly any previous time in the company's history.

Between promising ten first-party 3DS games yet to be released this year, as well as several big Wii U games, 2013 is going to be huge for them. They've got to make sure they have the software to attract as much attention as possible away from the launch hype of 720/ PS4 which is already at a fever-pitch and will be until mid-November.
