Skyward Sword is though, and Xenoblade is gaining popularity with every title, don't count that out. As far as last story, a system seller it may not be but you can't deny the importance of a mystwalker jrpg.

 

I would also argue that Xenoblade and Splatoon are two of the most important new IPs of basically (we're a year  short of 2 decades since Smash was a new Ip) the last two decades.

Yeah, but are not system sellers. We are analyzing the sales of nintendo consoles and not the technical quality of their games

Both of those games did show an acute rise in console sales, though there is no denying they do not come close to Mario or LoZ. They definitely should have focused more on getting those games out in a vastly more timely manner than 2 years in and a cross platform title respectively. Not to mention the gutting of the control scheme of BOTW which will always leave a nagging feeling that we wound up never really experiencing BOTW the way it was meant to be experienced. Oh well.
