If they had pushed Mario Kart Wii back to October or so, given it an extra coat of polish to get some of those messier graphical hitches cleaned up, it would have solved the whole problem of perception
You are right, though. It looks like a classic schedule if you run it in reverse. This year seems to be following that pattern more. Q2 has got more goodness than Q1 (which exclusively had remakes from Nintendo, aside from Personal Trainer: Math), and hopefully they have some excitement in the pipe for Q3 and Q4.

Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
