to counter your point against Retro they had 5 games in development when they were first founded and they struggle to make just about all of them so 4 of them were cancelled to put a focus on Metroid Prime due to the fact that in 1999 a newly form studio making 5 different games at once was pretty freaking insane and its worth mentinoning Iwata became CEO in 2002 the same year when Metroid Prime was released so it wasn't his fault why out of those 5 games we only got Metroid Prime. also with Donkey Kong it sounds it was there idea to make both DKR games and that not anyone at force them to so if they wanted they could make what ever they want.
