Yeah, I think Zelda 2014 is super likely and will be the big holiday/fall title if they don't end up having to delay it. Yarn Yoshi, X and SMT x Fire Emblem will probably be the summer lineup, plus I'm sure there's more unannounced titles. We know that EAD Tokyo is already working on another game and that Miyamoto has a new IP in the works.

Rumor: Super Smash Bros Wii U & 3DS Release Date: May 16, 2014

No.
They said they MIGHT be a little bit apart, not confirmed as "yes, we are delaying one".

I honestly don't expect it to release before Mighty No. 9.
Psst. It's a delay joke guys. Y'know, like how Brawl got delayed a ton. I really had to edit the post for this?
Mmm I don't think so. It's definitely gonna be a 2014 release, people are just too cynical because of Brawl's delays
Mighty No. 9 is a 2015 title, whereas Smash Bros is a 2014 title
of course delays could happen, but it doesn't look like we'll get another situation where someone gets added in the last minute like Brawl (lol Sonic), and SSE isn't happening this time either
what.

If Smash Bros came out that early, the console would be dry for the second half of the year. Nintendo isn't that out of touch. I'm expecting an October/November thing.

I don't. I really want Sakurai to 100% complete the games and release it to us when he want to instead of being rushed by Iwata.

Man, hopefully it would come out then AND not be rushed out the door or anything. Then we might... ACTUALLY see it at Evo!

Meh, I don't think the game will be incomplete if it happens to be released on May 2014.

I highly doubt it. Sakurai seems to be a perfectionist. Brawl had several delays and Kid Icarus was originally supposed to be out for the 3DS launch.
It already happened on the Wii, it's certainly possible it could happen again.

Nnnnnnoooooope.
I don't see why people are saying that Nintendo wouldn't have anything to release in the back half of the year. Just because Nintendo hasn't announced much doesn't mean they don't have stuff in the pipeline. Remember, Super Mario 3D World was only formally announced at E3, and the earliest signs of its existence were teased this January. Nintendo just likes keeping its projects close to the chest until soon before release.
We also have games like "X" supposedly due for a 2014 release.

Only way this wouldn't be there big holiday release is if Zelda WiiU was it.

This is certainly possible and I would be very happy if it did happen.
Everyone is thinking about delays, but there's no Subspace Emissary this time to take up all of their time. Plus unlike previous Smashes this one is running on an update of a previous engine rather than an all new one. I think if we do get it as a May release Zelda is going to be 2014 for sure though.

I don't think that's likely.
Though, Smash releasing in the Spring wouldn't be a big deal. Brawl was released in March. The only way I see this happening is if Mario Kart 8 ends up being delayed until Fall 2014, which is (hopefully) not going to be the case - then again, Brawl and Mario Kart Wii came out in March/April of the same year, so.

Uhh not really.

I doubt this is true but I hope it does release during the first half of next year. I also hope Nintendo has lots of unannounced titles for the second half of 2014.
Why? Smash Bros Brawl released in March 2008.

Well, if they can get Zelda and X out by holiday they could have a fairly decent line up there, which would allow Smash and Mario Kart to cover early in the year. Or maybe they might even attempt to push X itself was their big holiday title? There's also SMT x FE which has dropped off the map after its announcement, but that was in the beginning of the year. It also could do some decent numbers if it takes after Fire Emblem Awakening.

The game kinda looks "Ready" sometimes, i might sound crazy but seeing all the footage and pics has me thinking it could be released earlier. and May 16 would be my guess for a early release date.
I imagine it'll be saved for September-December of 2014 though.
if Smash misses 2014 then i give up on wii u, no excuses.

Wouldn't it make sense to have Zelda as the big late year release for Wii U since this is multiplat?
Splitting the releases would make sense.
Wii U needs the game ASAP. If a MK8/SmashU 1-2 punch can't drive sales, what can?
Meanwhile, since 3DS is doing just fine, hold off Smash for a holiday title.

Earlier this month. The Donkey Kong delay.

So I should expect it to be delayed into 2015.
IntelliHeath

Yeah, but I heard the rumored dates like two months ago or something. It gotta to be coincidence.
Feb - Donkey Kong
April - Mario Kart 8
May/June - Smash 4 (June is there in case if there is delay)

Why are people so convinced that Smash is the only big release they have planned for Q4 2014?
