It will not be Mario or Pokemon related
Nintendo is apparently gearing upto launch a free-to-play gamethis fiscal year (which ends March 2014), as announced at E3 during an analyst briefing. Evidently the game has been ruled out as aMarioorPokemongame, and it could be anything from an already existing franchise to a brand new IP.
A platform isn’t set, so it could be anything from Wii U or 3DS. As I heard this news, I had a thought — if doneright, this would be an amazing way to re-introduce theAdvance Warsseries to a new audience. Although “free-to-play” generally has a negative connotation, it can be done right, and given how well and sparingly Nintendo’s handled DLC so far I trust them to at least try in earnest to make it an enjoyable experience.
