Prediction: Nintendo will announce everything for the wrong platform

Speak for yourself. Quite frankly, considering there has not been a true, 100% "arcadey shooter" Star Fox since the N64, saying that there isn't enough interest or market in a new one is, I'm sorry to say, entirely invalid. Because there simply isn't evidence to back that up.

The 3DS remake sold pretty well, in all honesty, at over 700k. That's pretty good for a remake not called Zelda or Mario. And interest in remakes is usually far lower than for brand new games. Just ask WWHD. The point is, if Nintendo presented gamers with a brand new, gorgeous, epic HD Star Fox, that was very much in the vein of SF64 (as it should be), I am certain there would be a huge amount of hype for it, and it would sell at LEAST 1 million, most likely more.

Star Fox Assault was most definitely an arcadey shooter. It was even originally slated for the arcade. Yet the game only sold 1/4 of what 64 sold

Depending on the game being remade, the effects are different. For a game in a mostly dead genre( how many non remake arcadey shooters that game out in the past 5 years can you name), a remake may be inflating sales to average entry sales. Also for a Wii U one, an HD arcadey shooter as deep as 64 would probably would probably reach close to $1 million budget and probably not sell 1 million units on the Wii U
