When he mentions 2017 was a good year because of Zelda, I am thinking of the top tier 3D Zelda that BoTW was and not the low budget 2d stuff.

As I said 5 to 7 without mentioning them. So clearly Mario Tennis is pushed out a bit more than Smash Bros and not "there are about the same amount of Smash games as there are Mario Tennis".

Ok we will just count 3D Zelda and i will agree that Mario Party was way over used in the N64/GC era but looking at recent history (Wii onward).

Twilight Princess 2006, Skyward Sword 2011, Breath of the Wild 2017

Mario Party 9 2007, Mario Party 10 2012, Mario Party 11 2015, Super Mario Party 2018

Its 3 vs 4

 

I forgot about the Virtual Boy version of Tennis, was thinking it was 5 to 6.

 

Look at the context of his original statement though, "Mario Tennis/Party #45,679" hes acting like Mario Party & Mario Tennis are getting a dozen games each gen while Zelda/Smash are neglected when the output is pretty similar in the last dozen years.

Yes his claim is a bit ridiculous, especially since not all developers have the same pedigree. Quality takes time as they say.
