As I've said, Starfox revival doesn't scream "playing it safe".
Eh. We barely know anything about it and it's coming out this year. I feel like it's a budget-ish game, relatively. Star Fox is, like, upper-middle tier for Nintendo, so doing a new one after years of people saying they rely too heavily on Mario & Zelda; it screams "Pretty Safe" to me.
Also, surprised everyone's rosters are filled with DK Characters. I'd just add Dixie because she's Diddy's own sidekick, and maybe Krunch for nostalgia, or K. Rool because he's forgotten now, too. Everyone else would be from a new series (Mallo, Dillon, Inkling, Monita, Wonder Red), a dormant/small-time series (Takamaru, Mike Jones, Muddy Mole, Duck Hunt Dog, Chibi-Robo, Boulder, maybe Captain Falcon), or a sidekick from a major series (Bandanna Dee, Anthony Higgs, Mona, with either Luigi or Waluigi as the "final boss," since one's the "King of the Second Bananas," and the other's a knock-off of him).
Besides, it works for the whole "Pitch Amiibos for series that wouldn't get one otherwise." Nintendo can easily juggle this, MK8, and F-Zero if need be, even if MK took planes & submersibles and the anti-grav mechanic. Honestly, even if they were doing this but dropped it, the Amiibo aspect should be tempting. Porting Xenoblade shouldn't be too hard, especially because Monster did it once with DKCR, so they could pick it back up immediately after Xenoblade.
