That's a lot to cover for Nintendo's dev teams, especially since they were still green to HD development. Few of the proposed games are a hard sell because they haven't sold that well in the past to warrant more games (I.e. F-Zero, Eternal Darkness), Sakurai is/was not interested in making a Kid Icarus Uprising sequel, Ice Climber (while considered classic, was not necessarily well received back then) has been irrelevant outside of Smash, and Star Tropics is like Murasame, great game known by hardcore fans but not really known among the casual gamers. Plus not sure how Game Freak would work out a Pokemon MMO due to mostly putting their efforts on their mainline games that are on handhelds. And $99.99 is asking Nintendo to take a huge loss that could do more damage if it doesn't sell its entire stock at least. Even the GameCube wasn't able to build much momentum at $99 and it had majority of the hits back then.
Unless you're kidding.. Maybe they'll be able to do it now since their divisions are now able to communicate better due to moving into one HQ and they've gotten the HD experience down. Remember even Sony and Microsoft had a tough time out of the gate back in gen 7 with HD.
