Thing is, an Ocarina remake doesn't have to limited to just improving the visuals; there's plenty of room for virtually all its aspects to be improved without sacrificing what makes it great. And honestly, even if it is just a visual and QoL overhaul, that would still hold immense value for millions as it would represent a chance to relive a treasured childhood classic. I wouldn't underestimate just how much power Ocarina holds over a generation of Nintendo gamers.

There's no reason a new Starfox can't be good either, their last attempt was during a vastly different era and the Nintendo of 2015 is not the Nintendo of today, they're in a much better position now.

As for Splatoon, it has enormous cultural power in Japan virtually guaranteeing many millions there, and an effort on par with Nintendo's tentpole single player games would attract many people who prefer playing solo and found prior games too online-oriented. One of the complaints about prior games was that the campaign offerings weren't meaty enough, this would remedy that and thereby appeal to new players.

Sorry for my edits. I believe they keep the original context of all my declarations and just make my ideas easier to understand.

The third game is Pokopia, which is very likely to pass 10m.

Ocarina is one of the most beloved titles in gaming history which will give it a huge boost, and Splatoon's broken the 10m comfortably mark twice before and definitely has the potential to do so again if they can deliver a meaty single player component that hits the high standards of Nintendo's tentpole titles; what it loses by not being multiplayer could be compensated for by bringing in solo players who found prior games too lightweight in that department.

Yoshi and Fire Emblem may be smaller titles, but that's okay, all they need to do is give people some variety and something to play in between the heavy hitters, while satisfying their dedicates fanbases, similar to what say Xenoblade 2 did in 2017 or Pikmin 4 did in 2023.

Altogether, that's not a bad lineup at all, you've got something for cosy game fans, action-adventure fans, shooter fans, platformer fans, Millennial gamers, newer Nintendo fans, plus first party aside you've got the strongest third party catalog a Nintendo system has seen arguably since the SNES.
