^The worst selling "NINTENDO" games.

If Nintendo was trying to sell their worst selling titles, they would have put Codename STEAM, Art Academy 3DS, Spirit Camera and others there. This is a reprint of some of the games that either ran out of copies or Nintendo thinks can sell more.

I think it's a bit of both. These are the worst selling games that Nintendo feels have the potential to sell more copies that makes a reprint worthwhile. Sure, there are even worse selling games that Nintendo has published, but tossing something out that barely managed average sales or totally bombed isn't exactly worth firing up the factories one more time. The selects are simply a list of games that didn't quite perform at expectations, but still have the potential to at least get closer to the ideal number of sales.

True. Nintendo is pushing StarFox 64 3D to profit from all the Starfox WiiU advertisement, NintenDogs is aimed to the Animal Crossing fanbase (it grew a lot since New Leaf), Mario Party and Mario Tennis are Mario games that will have legs, and Yoshi  New Island and ALBW probably ran out of copies.
