Nothing bigger than HD remasters of Zelda or Prime 2/3 seems an awfully pessimistic prediction given even Wii U's 2016 had Paper Mario Colour Splash and Starfox Zero and even Wii's 2012 had Mario Party 9 and Project Zero 2 Wii Edition.

If their back half was that weak, surely they would have held onto Princess Peach Showtime or the Thousand Year Door remake for the holiday season.

We have very different views on what is considered a big or small title.  I would consider expecting nothing bigger than Color Splash or Starfox Zero far more pessimistic than expecting nothing bigger than WWHD, TPHD, or Prime 2/3 HD.  Being a brand-new game doesn't automatically mean something is bigger than remasters of some of Nintendo's biggest games and most requested rereleases, especially in this day and age.  A couple of games on the level of Color Splash or Princess Peach Showtime are likely, but I would consider the remasters to be the bigger releases.

Personally, an actual original game I'd rank as more significant than a repackaging of a something generations old. I don't doubt there will be more remasters in store for the second half of the year, but there should also be at least 1 or 2 all new titles of moderate size.
