ok well ill tell you something, my feeling on this year would be completely different if starfox were a proper original release, with that same art style and everything. that right there would have made a huge difference, and it wouldnt have affected negatively anything you are talking about. i do think the OoT remake should have been replaced with a new 3d mario, but look, id be a lot happier if we just got a star fox game. thatd have been enough to shut me up even though i still wouldnt like OoT being treated as some huge release when it just isnt. 

Thats fair enough. This gen has been very remake heavy. 

I haven't read to the bottom of the thread yet so someone may have already speculated this.

Thinking of Starfox and Zelda specifically what if these games are really Nintendo creating new engines for new games in these series?  Build and test the engine with a known element a game they know worked on previous hardware.  Save the new games for mid console life-cycle momentum fuel.
