I think it will have to be much sooner than that. Possibly brought up at E3 this year with a release date of next year.
Amiibo might continue to be a 'thing' but the sustainability of them could be difficult in the fairly near future.
Although, as is Nintendo and what they tend to do, better or worse, they will likely try a new structure of game than what has been and looks to be the norm of the massive figurine games ie skylanders, Disney Infinity and likely Lego whatever. I fully expect to see something rather different, again likely sooner than later because the market is already getting flooded.
