The "traditional" mindset is just an alibi to handwave away major releases people don't want to count, as if Hyrule Warriors, OoT3D, MM3D, and WWHD weren't the most important releases of their consoles at the time. "No, it's not an annual franchise, unless you count all the games that make it an annual franchise." |
I tend to agree somewhat, just not in the way people usually take the term 'annual franchise'. Only in the way that we don't get 'main-line' entries or updated versions every year, and even with spin-offs and remakes there's still a couple years here and there where nothing is released, but, with those, they do keep the series alive almost every year.
