Nintendo doesn't get that marketing new IPs is pretty much essential now if they want it to succeed.
People correlate quality to the amount of marketing they see nowadays because of how much $$ is spent marketing the big name franchises.
I do believe Miyamoto's will have more marketing because heck he's Miyamoto.
However, maybe they're the type to test the waters 1st and not bank success on the 1st entry. I didn't see any marketing for Xenoblade in the west and that apparently did better than in EU and JP being years ater than everyone else and on a declining platform.
My guess is that they never really planned on haing this game sell well, it was just an effort for 3rd party relations. Can't be bad as Capcom having Remember Me and Lost Planet 3 bomb.
