This isn't about my expectations though. I don't expect Nintendo to cater to my personal whims. What I do expect (or did expect), is that when there's an obvious stack of cash sitting there waiting for Nintendo to claim it, that they will do just that. For example, Animal Crossing Wii U. You comment that they never announced it so I should lower my expectations. You're quite right, they never did announce it, and that was never my point. My point was that it was a no-brainer to make that game and release it this year, and that they have thrown money away by not doing that and instead opting to make a disappointing spin-off, which will sell less, and honestly damage the good name of the series. Of course I don't know 100% for sure that Amiibo Festival won't be good, but I think we're all capable of reading the signs and guessing. It's not looking good for that game.
Speaking of damaging the good name of a series, there's your point on Triforce Heroes. Just because I said Nintendo didn't release enough games this year (they didn't) doesn't mean I think they should just shovel anything out there. I've made my case for why Triforce Heroes should never have been made, and I'll add that yes, they certainly should have made something else (non-Zelda) to fill the gap left by that game.
There are other points of yours I could answer, but I'll leave it because otherwise I'll be here all day! The final thing I'll say is that if it turns out that the selection of Nintendo games on offer this year has been so dire because they're giving the NX a stunning launch line-up, then maybe in the end that will be a good call. It still doesn't forgive Nintendo the rookie mistakes they're making in the mobile market.
