Splatoon will be out by then, it releases in May.

Yoshi is supposed to come out in the first half of the year, but Nintendo's maintaining radio silence about it, so it could go either way.

Mario Maker will most likely be in the second half of the year. (Which is silly cos it's hardly a complex game, it should have taken just a few months to throw together)

I don't know if anything has changed, but according to the schedule it should be out first half. 

In their January press release Mario Maker was simply listed as "2015" while Yoshi was still  "1st half 2015". At this point, I expect it to be a 2nd half title.

Well, it would be a little disappointing being it already was shown at E3 2014, but eh. Same with Splatoon. I hope Nintendo just focuses on new titles.

Won't the 3 I bolded have already released? I don't see all three of them making it to E3. Maybe one of those (I'm thinking Splatoon DLC) will make it, but other than that, no. 

I also don't see XCX making more than a few second cameo with a worldwide release date.

Maybe the studio is also making another game, pikmin for example (they did say more pikmin games were coming).

Or a working Wii U version of Pokken Tournament!!!!

Splatoon is out in May, so I dn't think we need worry about that.

I'm with you, I wanna see new stuff, Mario Maker can go to hell.

Really? As a designer myself I felt like it'd be the most complicated on Nintendo's line-up to get right, atleast since they revealed the depth they're taking it too.

What about it would be complicated? There's no complex AI, physics, or graphics, almost all the assets already exist...

What I want most:
F-Zero U
Metroid U
Animal Crossing U
Mother Trilogy 3DS
Paper Mario U
Kid Icarus U
Fatal Frame U (with the Wii game released years ago bundled)
SHENMUE 3 U (With Remasted 1+2 bonus disc) ... yeah no chance.

Well, that being said, I think we both would be okay with them showing stuff we know very little about too. Like Legend Of Zelda Wii U would be fine due to us not knowing hardly anything about it. Or The Devil's Third would be fine due ot them overhauling everything and supposedly adding so many modes to the game that it (supposedly) has the most modes of any video game to date. Yet again, another title we know very little about in its current form. Or Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem being we've seen nothing but the concept video two years ago.

I just feel like they've dug themselves a hole by making it so that different object combinations create new objects, and the amount of variety in level designs we've seen come out of the latest trailers is alarmingly indepth; maybe I am overestimating things because I see it with a design bias so maybe I am underestimating the value of pre-existant resources from a development stand point but designing stuff around the idea that users can design their own stuff while making it intuitive and flexible is really freaking hard.

Personally I'd feel more confident working on a massive RPG than on Mario Maker, based on my own design experience. Granted I admit I could be wrong because my current game design skills in general are questionable, but I'm working on that almost everyday and am a qualified website/GUI designer.
