Yes this gen and by a long shoot. Xenoblade X is one of the must haves of the Wii U while Retro's game is a dissapointing unambitious project that looks like from a gen before compared to X. Right now people is more excited to know about the next Monolith project than Retro, as Monolith has proved that they can puso the hardware rather than playing safe.

Right now there's zero hype for Retro, unlike at the start of the gen.

Yeah, Tropical Freeze damaged Retro's reputation considerably.

In 2011-2013 there was intense hype about what Retro could deliver on HD-capable hardware. There is far less excitement now for what they'll do on NX, because last time the hype train ended in crushing disappointment.

I...seriously doubt Tropical Freeze damaged their reputation considerably. I'd argue there's less excitement about what they'll do on NX than, say, 2011-2013, but that was because Nintendo was consistently teasing everyone with "Retro's working on a secret project" for basically two straight years. Retro's gone (mostly) quiet with no real details for what they're working on, so of course there's less excitement.
