* TeasingCreator: Towards the end of the December 2013 installment, Iwata declares that there's only one game left to showcase... and ends up actually showing two: ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosForNintendo3DSAndWiiU'' and ''VideoGame/MarioKart8''. This is due to the ''Smash'' trailer [[BaitAndSwitch starting off with an animation of Kirby landing on Rainbow Road and interacting with the racers]], as if he's going to be in ''Mario Kart''. Iwata then admits that the ''Smash'' trailer starting off with that scene was an unplanned coincidence on Creator/MasahiroSakurai's part.
