My guess for why they didn't say anything at the 3DS shindig tonight is because they were focusing entirely on games set to be released by the end of this year. Following this logic, it's going to be a 2013 release.

Agreed, although it's still weird, with NSMB2 out in August there's not a whole ton of competition for it on 3DS as a holiday release, I don't think it would directly compete or hurt Luigi's Mansion or Paper Mario which are the only other post August big 3DS releases I can think of. Nintendo is the master of sitting on shit though; by multiple accounts Luigi's Mansion was
a finished game last E3. Supposedly it got pushed into this year because Kid Icarus was going to be the fall game last year, but then that got pushed into this year. It's bizarre.
In any case though apparently Reggie wasn't supposed to say anything about this, but once he did so many people were asking about it that they had to throw out an announcement of some kinda ASAP, which is kind of amusing. Normally I give Kotaku a lot of shit, but good on them on this one.
Okay this is fucking brilliant, jarosh (from GAF) nails it again. The Uncharted music killed me.
