| Asriel said: Iwata will announce that next year is "The Year of Yoshi", because Yoshi has two games out and is in Smash Brothers, Mario Golf, Mario Party (Europe 2014), and Mario Kart 8. Some Yoshi cosplay tomfoolery, mildly amusing but takes up valuable game demonstration time. |
I think you're spot on with the Yoshi predictions. In fact, I'd go so far as to say I'd be surprised if 2014 isn't proclaimed the Year of Yoshi. If not next year, then it will likely never happen. I think they'll wait til a January or February Direct to declare it, though. Otherwise they're intruding on the last few weeks of Year of Luigi, and Nintendo wouldn't want to be discourteous to one of their other franchise characters.
I'd also assume that rumor about HD remakes of classic N64 games is more true than not, though I think they'll wait til early 2014 to announce them, since announcing them now might lead to people holding off on purchasing Wii U's. Sad but true, I think.

The Screamapillar is easily identified by its constant screaming—it even screams in its sleep. The Screamapillar is the favorite food of everything, is sexually attracted to fire, and needs constant reassurance or it will die.
