No 3D Mario on Switch 2 yet seems to have short-circuited a lot of folks

people have been clamoring for a star fox for decades

LOL, you and your three friends maybe. Good for you, you get one. Look, I am a fan of Pikmin. But I would never claim Pikmin is one of the two biggest games of the year it is in, or a hyped franchise. It is pretty niche. So is Starfox. Again, there is a reason why Nintendo is completely fine with not releasing any for a *decade*.

but a proper brand new f zero or star fox game would be gigantic

I guess a show looks gigantic to an ant.

i know you are going to pretend to not understand what i mean by gigantic, so i will spell it out for you so we dont have to waste time on that. something like this would be gigantic among those of use who frequent niche video game websites that nobody cares about. it would be huge to us.

I am a fan of niche video games. As I said Pikmin. But even among these there is big niche, small niche and very obscure niche. Starfox doesn't excite many, even on niche hardcore gaming websites. It didn't on WiiU. It didn't on 3DS. Again, Fire Emblem and Xenoblade are even among the niche gaming enthusiasts much, much, much bigger deals.

a brand new star fox game that looked like exactly what they showed? man that right there would be enough to satisfy any of the naysayers who are the topic of this thread.

Again: you can be a fan of Starfox and good for you. But claiming it is one of the two biggest deals this year and complaining I am "purposely obtuse" if I don't get Starfox if you talk "big" and "hyped" is clearly disingenious. Because even as the biggest super-duper mega Starfox-fan you should realize that it is not a big deal for the majority of gamers.

people arent losing it over OoT because they already spent the last month or so doing exactly that because it got leaked. kingdom hearts 4 isnt even published by nintendo, so its completely irrelevant to the topic at hand. youre just throwing shit against the wall to see what sticks at this point. but go ahead and pretend that all of us here should be hyped over a game because itll sell ten million copies and is therefore huge. go ahead and do it. 

LOL. Obviously. Big sellers mean that a game is more important to a bigger group of people. I don't demand you should be excited. But if you claim the two biggest releases for the year, then it should be about more than yourself. And I get Zelda. Zelda is a big deal for a lot of people. But not Starfox.

You have to realize that people have different tastes. And Nintendo is looking to satisfy as much people as possible. But you claimed: "we are annoyed because nintendo's two biggest releases for the year". Starfox is not by a long shot. Good that Nintendo is looking for some fans. Attacking me because I don't accept your obviously bad faith argument about what consists of the biggest releases for the year is not making you look good. It is great if you are happy about Starfox. But don't put your preferences on gamers as a whole. We all like different things. The biggest releases of the year are the ones that big groups of gamers wants, the most hyped franchises are the one the most gamers are excited about.

oh ok i see now. more sales means more people like it means its bigger. that makes sense. well ill hold out to see how many sales these games are going to get before i form an opinion next time.
