How do you know some of these are retail?  Like Star Fox or Mario Maker.  They put like a year of development into Star Fox, for all we know its a small downloadable game.  Mario Maker screams downloadable game to me.


Starfox was actually in development for 6 years on the Wii, then they moved it over to Wii U, it was stated back in June that it had been given 6-10 months development time on Wii U, so if the game comes out in late summer (before september 22nd) it would have already had another 15 months of dev time, meaning a minimum of 21 months development to release on Wii U, maybe 25 months if it launches by the end of summer, if it comes out in the fall that's even more time.

Here's an interview that talks about it:

I have to remind you that Pikmin 3 start out life as a Wii title, didn't have a huge amount of time in the Wii U dev cycle, so it's not hard to see a quality game making a retail release on Wii U, I think the development times actually kind of mimick what's happened with Starfox and Pikmin 3 is a retail release.

 

Hell even Toad Treasure Tracker was only developed for like a year and that has a load of unique levels.

Hmm interesting, never knew they were planning Star Fox for the Wii.
