if the "leaked" releases will be confirmed, I'd say that, if Zelda will be delayed (but at that point, I'd bet on a later release, not Q1 2016), we could see another release announced at E3 substituting Zelda (not another project as "hyped" as Zelda, but maybe something still worth it!)

I think Yoshi's Woolley World is the NoE name for the game. I will gladly take the US Wooly World instead. XD
I can imagine them going "Remember when we said this year wouldn't have a main Mario game? We lied!" *Shows off a Mario game*
Nice.
I could see XBX and starfox for september/october (hyrule warriors & bayonetta slot), zelda hopefully mid november at that smashbros spot, right before black friday in the US and a week later in EU, and mario maker as their december for-all-the-ages title.

The only title I could see to replace Zelda is Animal Crossing. Everything else will lead to a big sales disaster for WiiU Q4 2015, it's most important quarter of the year, and the only quarter where it reaches decent numbers.
Well June for Yoshi sounds great and all...but why the hell haven't we seen it even once since E3? I mean the thing was revealed more than 2 years ago, though clearly in a very early state.
It's a 2D platformer, why is it taking so long to come out, and why aren't we seeing more of it? Not in January's Direct which would have been a perfect time...or in November's Direct which would have been a perfect time.
Side-note: Why haven't we seen Star Fox yet for that matter?

Going by Pokemon localization time I'm expecting the game to come out ~6mo after Japan release. Soo end of October or 1-2 Holiday Combo with Legend of Zelda at 20.11.15 (in Europe)

November is what I am guessing as well. Star Fox screams October to me. Mario Maker in August/September.
I am thinking worldwide release, but may be delayed in general personally.
Because Nintendo, for a reason that is unknown to any logical being outside them, doesn't show all the upcoming games with every possible occasion. More so, they sometimes show too much of one game and too less of others. Maybe they think that Yoshi and Kirby target quite the same public and they don't want to steal Kirby's thunder.
I'm still expecting Mario Maker as a September title. It'd coincide with the 30th anniversary of Super Mario Bros., which was what Nintendo pointed out during its recent appearance. I'm going to take a totally wild card guess and peg XBX for August with Star Fox getting a September or October slot. Zelda ought to be last week of November or first week of December.
Kirby AND Captain Toad AND Smash AND Codename Steam AND...
Smash was a week later
Kirby has always been later in Europe
Codename STEAM I can't speak about
Captain Toad was quietly pushed forward to only be two weeks after the US.
You only have half a point here
Most games have been simultaneous launch US/EU lately, or if anything, Europe gets it first.AntiFacebook

I thought it's the release schedule for the rest of the year.
Also Pokemon Omega Ruby!Smash was a week later

Codename STEAM I can't speak about

But yeah, I guess it's not much of a pattern.
However, I have terrible luck and the universe hates me. Games I want will be delayed just to make me sad. It's inevitable.
Looks okay to me, guess I better place my pre-order for Splatoon and Kirby.
Because Nintendo of Europe sucks.
I am still pissed off that we had to wait a week for Pokémon OR/AS just so Sonic Boom can bomb in the market.
I swear if Zelda U get delayed in Europe, I am gonna be pissed, I do not want to wait weeks or month after everyone else.

If Zelda is just a week later, as most of the examples have been, we don't have an issue.
Yeah that's not why ORAS was a week late...

Man, Splatoon and Yoshi in a couple of months?
I've been spending 100% of my console playing time on the Wii U for almost a year now, and it looks like that's not changing soon.

A week later would be terrible. Terrible. If we get it november 29th and they get it november 22nd I will actually cry.
Was it a week late because we're being punished for the leaks and if so why do I have to suffer for Italy's sins?
cmon let's be real
Zelda is going to be an open world game that should have released 10 years ago and Starfox will be a typical Miyamoto gimmick-fest
the Wii U is really just a boxbox at this point
I have to say, what with the 22nd being a very popular date thrown around for Splatoon before this, I can only pray that Nintendo actually releases the game worldwide on the same day, or at the very least do it like Mario Kart 8 where the western territories get it at the same day and the only other discrepancies are by a day's release.
The game is going to rely really hard on its online player base and I wouldn't want to see it slow down. The fact that they already announced a mode that is going to only be available when a number of players have reached a ranking makes me hope that the criteria will be met very shortly.

Looking forward to Yoshi
In which Yoshi runs for parliament, and wins. Alas, though, he has to deal with the politics, aided mainly by his principal private secretary, who in turn is having to deal with his immediate superiors as well.

Nintendo have always been really shitty with worldwide releases.
I'm sure you're joking, but there's much more to it than that.
Not in the last couple of years they haven't
It has to be this week, at this point. If not...in two days, considering this leak.
For others: I was not saying that Zelda would be delayed just in EU, but that it could be delayed period. In that case, I think they have something in the oven for Christmas (not as "strong" as Zelda probably)
I really hope they will unveil a Mario Univers aka Galaxy3 for the U, but for '16 (aside METEROIIIIIID!)
Animal Crossing U, or maybe an amiibo-centric game.

We getting a Nintendo Direct this week ?

That is what many Twitter people have been saying.
Considering this leak as well, it gives even more credit to it.
That would be funny if that was the reason why it happened.

I want a custom sleeve for the game with this.
If Penello had to say to European MS branch that Europe is not a country, I can perfectly believe this as well.
Xenoblade Chronicles X has always seemed like it was a post-June game outside of Japan. Especially with Japan getting it at they very end of April. It's actually a May game that way. So the earliest we could see XCX if localization was already started months ago is July. That's always where I pegged the game coming out. July or August. Hopefully early July. June would be nice if it somehow happen. It would get overshadowed in the Fall so I hope it doesn't drop there in any of the major areas. I accept it will be later in the smaller areas unfortunately. Overshadowed not just by Nintendo games but by other games on other systems. XCX needs breathing room.

Nintendo thinks New York City is America and the United Kingdom is Europe, so nothing would surprise me at this point.
Seeing as, if this is legit, it means we're getting Yoshi within 3 months and a Yoshi date, logic dictates it'll be in the Direct

Well, this schedule certainly looks awful enough to be real.
