So, Splatoon moved more consoles than DK Tropical Freeze

We know the limits of Zelda. On top of that, the problem was that some people were bragging about DKCR sales and guaranteed that doing TF was the best decision, and well, we know now how that it ended. Let's also remember that people not only asked Retro for a new Metroid, but also a new IP, which is Splatoon. Nobody is asking Zelda team to do a new IP or mad because they are doing Zelda. Or it is?

Really? Who were? I remember DKTF reveal was mostly met with resentment from the beginning. Maybe I don't remember correctly though.

Again I agree timing was wrong, but if Retro can't be allowed to make a DK game in order to make room for new IPs or Metroid, maybe someone should ask if EAD3 should be allowed to continue making mainline Zelda games (considering how much time and resources go into those games). After all, that small group of developers who made Splatoon have not only beaten DK (on WiiU), they're also on track to beat Skyward Sword (on Wii).

Some didn't like Tropical Frezee (like me), so the people that defended was saying that TF was the right move because Returns sales.

And again, nobody is asking Zelda team to do anything other than Zelda. And long cycles are bad as I have been whinning all the gen.
