It's already stated in the post above you by Curl. But I'll say it again... game production is not what it used to be 10, 15 years ago. Games take more time and resources to develop, even games running on reused engines take a good amount of time to be developed. |
Cost wise, yes but not so much time wise. Nintendo themselves released their usual franchises without needing much more time than usual. Just check how long it took for the likes of Smash bros, 3d world, mario kart 8... to be developed when compared to previous installments. Zelda normally takes 3 years, it took longer this time because of the two reasons I repeated so much, first open world and HD zelda. Things will even out in the future about dev times.
