I really hope there's one or the other at launch, though. I know I probably won't buy one until either Mario or Zelda is available.

If they were smart they'd get on something for Zelda in the very very near future. I'm pretty positive Skyward Sword is probably very close to going gold soon enough. As soon as it does they need to start getting their shit together. Tech demos ain't gonna cut it for a while, dig?

I am actually a little torn about this.

People often times criticize Nintendo for relying on their tried and true franchises, while I have my opinions about that, I think now would be a wise time to try something new.

Instead of dropping Mario, Zelda and Metroid early on in the console. They should use them as tentpole games, you know maybe one a year, and just have the rest of the year revolve around B-Tier franchises and new games and 3rd parties. This wya you still get your sales boost while trying to expand your brand.

Well I would imagine it'd take them two years thereabouts to be able to fire another one out, but it'd be nice to know they have something planned.

Two years is a bit generous no?

I mean Skyward Sword is 5 years after TP

TP was 3 1/2 years after Wind Waker

Which was like 2 1/2 years after Majora's Mask

Wow. Time flies. I had no idea it took that long.
