You and I will know for sure, as well as gamers on the internetz which are maybe 5% of the potential buyers. What about the not so dedicated gamers?

If this were remotely true, no Mario or Zelda game would sell in the numbers they typically do. You're forgetting that Mario and Zelda are pretty much THE two biggest, most recognizable gaming franchises in game history, with Pokemon and Pac-Man (maybe also Tetris) being close.

Also, if nothing else, Nintendo most certainly will be doing a media-blitz for these two games specifically. Either way, they'll be in stores, people will know about them, and they come out right before Black Friday hits. It's a win-win either way.
