You just sound so pessimistic all the time is all. You took the time to make a point by point reply, all with negative answers. Would it kill you just to say, in the first place, that "I want all those games, too, but I doubt they'll be shown." It's the same exact point without sounding like a jerk about it.
I hardly see how thinking if they weren't far enough along in July that they will be in October is being a jerk. I mean, really, games takes
years to make.
We didn't get Wind Waker information/videos until what, a year before release? Same with TP(well, until it got repeatedly delayed, but the original date was supposedly 04/early 05). If it's a console Zelda, we won't see it out for a few years, meaning we won't see any gameplay or possibly acknowledgment for another year.
Same with Mario. Console Mario won't come out 'til late in the Wii lifespan, if even in it. If it's a handheld one, it has a larger chance of being shown.
Kid Icarus, once again, probably won't happen. It was nothing more than an IGN rumor, and being in Brawl's hardly an excuse to have a game released(Ness, Lucas, Ice Climber, Game and Watch).
Star Fox probably would have been brought up at E3 as being 'worked on' had it been planned. But since it seems(to the outside) that the game hasn't been started, we're once again going back to the 'not far enough to show' thing for it.
Nintendo themselves have stated there is no Metroid game being developed, so I don't see why anyone thinks it's plausible in the near future.
Pikmin 3, I dunno, we don't know how long it's been kept under wraps, but I doubt it will play differently enough for gameplay to really be that important(seeing gameplay's always nice for new games, but I doubt it's one of Nintendo's priorities if it's just the same).
As I said before, Disaster's already coming out real soon, so it doesn't matter if it's shown or not.
And Kirby's currently just sitting around, no information for four years. It has the strongest chance at being shown(up there with Disaster).
So yeah, I stand by what I said because I can actually back it up. Feel free to counter me all you want, I'll be glad if you do manage to give me reasons for some of these.

If the games are rumors, it's likely Nintendo was at least considering them at some point
Every company announces ideas for tons of things that never happen. Patents go up for titles of games that never will exist, ideas are tossed around for new IPs that never come to fruition due to the lack of familiarity(from the market perspective), so they fear it won't sell and be a loss for the company.
so what's so crazy about two or three actually becoming games?
Um...nothing. The crazy part is expecting them to be shown in a month, since back in July, all everyone kept saying was that they wouldn't come out for years.
