TC, You fail on so many levels
1. The underwater and gliding segments, as well as better item balancing, are being praised by dozens of reviewers as great subtle changes.
2. It doesn't have all old tracks. it has 16 new, and 16 remade to suit the new content
3. You're ignoring a huge amount of nintendo IPs let me list them
Disaster Day of Crisis, Xenoblade, Chibi Robo, Custom Robo, all the dozens of different Art S(tyle) games, Dillion's Rolling Western, Pushmo, Battalion Wars, Tact of Magic, and so many more
Also, you can argue Excite Truck/Bots are new IPs since they differ from the older ExciteBike series so much, the same goes for Kid Icarus since it plays so little like old Kid Icarus
Plus, they have so many IPs to revive, like Fire Emblem and Punch Out, Sin & Punishment (which was basically a new IP to everyone outside of Japan)
This doesn't include huge experimental installments in series that make them almost resemble different games like Metroid: Other M, Kirby's Epic Yarn, etc.

And with that, the TC loses all his validity and this thread ought to be closed. 1- Which goes back to reviewers being scared to give a Nintendo game a bad score because there is not enough lotion to pass out to their butthurt fanbase. 2- So half the game is new? OK. 3- YOU JUST NAMED OFF A BUNCH OF CRAP THAT YOU ARE PASSING AS A GOOD GAME! Come on man. Half of that crap you haven't even played. And if you are gonna use Excite truck for your argument on quality you need 2 years of therapy. 4- They revived those already. Punchout was decent but basically just updated graphics (Nintendo is good at that as well, How many versions of Mario 64 and TOOT are they now?And other M was crap and Kirby's Epic Year was still just another Kirby game with no difficulty and nothing new. Microsoft brought out Halo Wars and everyone had a fit because it was just another Halo game. And that was by far a completely different game. Every Zelda is the same thing with different graphics and a new control scheme......and it took them 5 years to do what most companies can do in 2..1. Praised for improving mechanics of items, which has been complained about, and adding new gameplay variety (underwater and gliding) =reviewers being scared to give a Nintendo game a bad score. I fail to understand any of that.
2. Having 16 brand new tracks, and 16 remade 'retro' tracks =/= half of a new game. There are many more features in the game which set it apart from it's predecessors.
3. Just because YOU haven't played them, doesn't mean they're bad. Disaster day of crisis, Chibi Robo, Battalion wars, Tact of magic, Sin and punishment, etc. are all GREAT games.
4. Let me guess, you just watched youtube videos of Punch-out? It's far from just a graphical update. I logged a good 60hrs into that game alone. BTW, OoT is on N64, Virtual console, and remade on 3DS. Mario 64 is on N64, and made on DS with new gameplay elements.
5. Other M was not crap, it was just to linear for a metroid game, but still a great game. Kirby's Epic yarn was not "just another Kirby game." Infact, both of those games could have passed as new IP's if they didn't use the same memorable characters. But in your world, a game is a rehash if it uses the same characters, eventhough everything else is completley changed.
6. How is every Zelda game the same thing if the story is changed, the art is changed, the world is changed and the control scheme is changed every time? Same character use again?
