The only error I can see after a quick glance is that you credit EAD 1 with the Pikmin titles. However, Hideki Konno (head of EAD 1) has no experience with the Pikmin series. The 2 Pikmin games were directed by Shigifumi Hino (now a part of Hiroyuki Kimura's EAD 3) and Masamichi Abe (now at NST) with Miyamoto as the producer. Thats why I have Pikmin 3 coming from EAD 3 and a new title from EAD 1
Yes I had no idea which team Pikmin came from so I took a guess.
Thanks for the heads up :) I'm going to bed now but I'll update that information along with some more information I've just received about games such as Tact of Magic and Cosmic Walker etc
My hope is for a new Zelda, Donkey Kong, or Star Fox.
I know they're not internal or second party but you should include Camelot, Hudson Soft, and Monster Games(Mystery Game, possibly Excite Truck sequel). I'm sure they're more but I can't think of them at the moment.
Pixel Art can be fun.

Have a look again.
I have Hudson doing MP 9, Monster games doing F-Zero Zii (my own title :P), next level doing Punch-Out!! as you said and Camelot well we don't know - perhaps golden sun wii or mario tennis/golf
I also have a list for monster and next level through the years including multiplats (they're strikethroughed)
the others such as arika etc i'll add tomorrow
All seems very logical and well-planned, and i agree with much of your analysis. Basically, the idea is that we haven't heard a damn thing from a lot of these teams in too long. I disagree with your assertion about Retro Studio's project getting into 2010. They're a two-year studio, especially since Metroid Prime 3's development was so irregular (in that it was close to done twice, and twice delayed. Pre-development could have begun on their current lead project in mid 2007)
The bigger question is when NoA is going to get its shit together, so they have the capacity to bring all of these excellent potential titles across

Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
Great thread, and especially the insight radcliffe gave is amazing. Where do you have these informations about the teams from?
Most guesses seem to be possible, though we never know what really happens. I think NST is rather working on a Wave Race Wii and not on a 1080° Wii. Could also be my wishes speaking though.
Does anyone here know how exactly the relation of Camelot to Nintendo is at the moment? They haven't developed anything for Nintendo lately, so I wonder if they are still official partners or just accidentally working together.

The thing about NST working on Wave Race is the fact that a full-fledged jet ski game is being promised as part of Wii Sports Resort. With them gunning for 10 games in 1 for WSR, a Wave Race of similar depth but far less value would be a bad proposition from their part
1080 makes sense, but i still think Project HAMMER exists.

Well on the other hand, an addicting, but simple game in WSR could also make people screaming for more of the same, just with more depth. This would be a great sales potential for Wave Race in my opinion, especially considering that it is a franchise that failed to reach satisfying numbers in the past.
