This is Nintendo though; they take forever to release their games. Skyward Sword and Pikmin 3 both took five years to make, both were delayed from their original release years. Twilight Princess suffered delays as well.

Yes, but, TP was delayed specifically so that they could make a Wii port of it for Wii's launch, otherwise it likely could have been out much sooner. And SS they could afford to delay, because Wii was selling great, even in 2011. Now things are different. Now Wii U is struggling, and they know they need to deliver as much great content to it as possible. They can't afford to delay and delay and delay. That doesn't mean "rush it". It merely means have a larger dev team working on it. And as far as that's concerned, rumor is that this is the largest dev team assembled to work on any Nintendo game in their history. So I still stand by what I said.

Wii U was struggling early this year too, didn't stop them delaying Pikmin 3.
