Come on now! That was cutting edge back then. Maybe cutting edge for a cartridge, but still cutting edge. Today's tools are all the more advanced and we have so many more programs and classes that developers should be able to do the same with today's visuals. Plus remember, I asked for even just 75 percent of the games. Not even from one company. I believe Nintendo has quite a few "2nd Party" devs out there. Plus Nintendo itself.
They were able to put out that many games with what they had to work with back then. Do not tell me it is harder these days to make a game.
Cars are more advanced, does it take longer to make cars these days, or are they still on a line? Water bottles are made of plants with no BPA, no glass, and whatever else, does it take longer to make them? No. Because the technology has advanced and they put the same amount of plant making machines in the place of the old BPA making machines. The same goes with Nintendo devs. They had photoshop 1.0 and now have photoshop 10.0. I realize that is probably not something they use, but you get the idea. On top of that the developers have been trained on all of this new programs.

Doing games and CGI in general doesn't really work that way. That's why movies take over a year in post to finish the stuff. Back in Star Wars days. They took 4 months. The more detail in the game, the more longer it takes a human to work on it. Compare Mario model in M64 to Lara Croft in TR2013. You could knock out Mario model in half a day. Lara would take weeks just getting her hair to not colide all the time.

I just found out that SM3DW had only 90 people working on it. It had a ton of content, and looked pretty nice. If they had just three devs making two games for us a year a piece, I think many would be fine with that. Along with Nintendo making 5-6 games as well like they usually do or more.

That's all up to Nintendo if they want to hire more teams to work at the same time. That's the only way the system wouldn't have droughts. If they want to ignore 3rd parties. But they so far can't or won't for whatever reason.
