Pretty much. They need to not only come out swinging, but maintain the momentum and not fall into a software drought through mid 2017. It's put up or shut up time for Nintendo with NX; their future in the hardware business depends on NX's first year.

Yep, they need to come out like they did with Wii in its first 18 months.

Q4 2006-Wii Sports, Twilight Princess, Excite Truck

Q1 2007-Wii Play, WarioWare

Q2 2007-Paper Mario, Mario Party, Big Brain Academy, Pokemon Battle Revolution

Q3 2007-Mario Strikers, Metroid Prime

Q4 2007-Donkey Kong Barrel Blast, Battalion Wars, Fire Emblem, Mario Galaxy, Link's Crossbow Training

Q1 2008-Endless Ocean, Smash Bros

Q2 2008-Mario Kart, Wii Fit

A consistent release schedule with a good mix of genres and casual/core split.

Hopefully the merging of their divisions will help make things easier in terms of communication and getting games done on a more consistent basis.
