How likely is in your opinion a Zelda U port on the next Nintendo home console ?

What better way to get back a hardcore audience into the Nintendo bandwagon than a New Zelda game as a launch title.

The only better way would be to launch with Zelda and the Star Fox that we all want - not the crappy one they are making for the Wii U, then release an F-Zero game 3 months later and nuke the core audience with a glorious Metroid Prime 4 half a year after the launch. Sprinkle that with some more casual games that are cheaper and easy to develop, give us a Mario Kart for the first Christmas, SMG3 some time after, Smash the next Christmas and you have yourself a console that core audience buys into.

Oh, and get all 3rd party games on board in 1080p/60fps - something nobody else can get. Now you're playing with power - again.

Ya I think u are severely overestimating games like Star Fox, F-Zero, Metroid. Each and every F-Zero game sold less than the previous entry to the point where it was selling less than 1 million. Metroid gets a lot of praise on forums but it's pretty damn niche, the series typically sells +/- 1.5 million, it has only surpassed 2 million on 2 occasions (in 1986 & 2002). Star Fox sold big on SNES/N64 but I can't really see a rail shooter selling those types of numbers in this day and age, no matter how good it is, 1-2 million is probably about all it can manage.

I'm not saying Nintendo shouldn't make those games, I would love for Metroid/F-Zero to make a comeback along with Star Fox continuing to get made and improved, I just don't think making those the key launch window titles is the wisest choice.
