You seem to make the false assumption that all people share your anti-NFC stance. You seem to believe that NFC only appeals to a small group of People. This, is a lie. Skylanders proves that MANY people get behind NFC, and comments I've seen on places such as Blogs and Miiverse prove, without shadow of doubt that Nintendo fans would sell their right arm for a Nintendo NFC.

As to the Wii U, many of the "Big Series" games have already been announced/released, so it's time for a little something new added to the mix. The main-series Marios are out already. Zelda will be out next year (or the following year). Smash is out next year. Mario Kart next year. After next year, most of the big series' are spoken for. Something new is JUST what people are clamouring for. Did you see the reaction when they announced Miyamoto would have a new IP? It wasn't "OH HELL NO! I don't want time devoted to that! Make me a Zelda!" It was, in fact, "OH HELL YES! I'm so excited! Give me screens!"

The fact of the matter is, People LIKE variety. They don't just want the same series' released year-after-year, falling into a Call of Duty-esque loop. That's why I love Nintendo. They always manage to bring AT LEAST one new thing to the table each year.

Not to mention, Nintendo is a BIG company with MANY teams. Surely one of the teams who just released a game would be assigned as opposed to one who was needed for something else. The Nintendo execs aren't stupid. They know who needs to do what.

So honestly, yes, I do believe a brand new NFC game could help the big N more than a big series game. As you seem to ignore but I point out, it would bring in new fans while also playing to the old. Fans of NFC would support this game. Skylanders fans who maybe like Nintendo but werent tripping over their feet to buy the next Zelda might rush to release day a Nintendo NFC.

And me, as an honest Nintendo fan? I'd (and I know it would kill you to hear this) go for the NFC. I've been DYING for a game like this. We already have a Zelda announced for Wii U AND Wind Waker HD, and honestly I'd prefer the variety of an NFC to a third Wii U Zelda any day, no matter the price.

In short, I stand by what I said. NFC is a VERY Viable business decision.
