It could be hard if the motivation is to make again an extremely profitable multi million sales game.
But I really think Nintendo needs to expand their public by trying different licenses, different genres, and revive forgotten licenses. Even for a million sales, in addition of other games, a new genre makes player buy the console or not. They sure are selling millions of mario world, mario kart, super smash, pokemon, zelda and kirby, but they are selling it to a shrinking die-hard nintendo fans base that buy them all for 10 years or more (no offense intended, buy and like what you want !).
I buyed a gamecube mostly for F-Zero at first. For nintendo, the F-Zero GX experience is a failure. It's like "ok... based on the sales and profit, we can tell the license is dead and giving licenses to 3rd party is a failure". But for me it's the very reason I purchased the console and loved my GC. Damn, F-Zero, and a great one, fast, splendid, furious, deep, and made by Sega, that was like Heaven for me. Selling a console is not just about having super selling, super strong licenses. So, it's not easy, but just do it, reboot Star Fox.
