What sort of numbers did Banjo do anyways? Nintendo might do something if it was a big seller, but really I don't think it sold more than a couple million. Unfortunately that isn't that much for Nintendo. That's probably why they've just been stringing us along with the series. Why make another game with mediocre sales when you can have them make mario party which sells like 10 mill each release.
It's the same reason Retro made another Donkey Kong game instead of metroid or something else. Donky kong sold a lot of units, Metroid was pretty mediocre.
