Yet Mario and Zelda are released every year


The argument against annualized franchises is generally that the gameplay is repetitive and changes little with each iteration.  Not like "OMG I hate that character.  Make sure his name isn't in any more titles." Because complaining about the mere presence of the same character in multiple games would be idiotic and arbitrary.

The only major Nintendo franchise that could really be called annualized is Pokemon.  And it's greatly diminished my interest in that franchise personally.
