During Nintendo @ E3 2014, Shigeru Miyamoto announced Project Giant Robot and Project Guard. But are these new projects just secret missions for the upcoming Star Fox title?
'We believe that it is important to nurture developers who take this unique concept to heart.' -Miyamoto
By making pretty much only AA games so they can sell them for the same price as AAA games.
By being threatened by dev teams innovating on formulas found in your cash cow, but are either afraid or lack the talent to implement themselves
Well with the exception of Zelda and Xenoblade Chronicles series, Nintendo first party games are usually less demanding (see Arms, Nintendo sports series 2d kirby + mario games, Mario sports series, Warioware, Mario Party etc).
Zelda doesnt even have voice acting for its characters most of the time and its games use simpler textures than lets say Horizon Zero Dawn, Last of Us, Gears of War 5 etc which means that the development costs are lower.
Even so, their games are generally polished and well thought of and as the Switch generation showed, many of their franchises actually grew considerably in sales (Kirby , Xenoblades, Metroid etc).
I still love Zelda, and Mario Kart/Party is always a good time as well, although Nintendo isn't chasing hyper realistic graphics like a lot of the other studios are.

Nintendo’s iconic developer Shigeru Miyamoto gives a talk to new employees each year to appraise them of the company’s values and what it takes to create excellent video games.
A series first.
Aonuma is the main zelda guy currently after all. I'm sure Miyamatos been too busy with many other things and especially the next big zelda.
Interesting theory. That would be rather strange if they did that. How would they incorporate a giant robot into Star Fox?
I hope they are all separate games. The Wii U needs all the games it can get.
Project Guard needs it's own game, with multiplayer (doesn't need to be online, but I'd prefer it to be) vs. 7_7
obviously...they had the mini game feel...they will be in sarfox as game segments but not what the game is based on
I think they are, Miyamoto even asked during the Tree House live if anyone noticed the StarFox logo in both or one of the games I do believe.
