EAD seem very dogmatically set in their ways as far as development philosophy goes.

that doesnt change the façt that its initial release date is still 2014. Wii Fit U is considered a 2013 title despite the retail version getting delayed to this year in America.

It's still a delay, just a regional one rather than a worldwide one.

I will consider Toad a 2015 title just as  consider Xenoblade a 2011 title.

wait, they are actually releasing project giant robot and project guard? oh boy.

are one of these the "new ip" that miyamoto was said to be working on?

EAD is no different in the way they develope games than Retro and the rest of Nintendo. There is no EAD way to develope games. There's a Nintendo way, and each team is influenced by that. And like I said, if the payed men and women with families to feed were told to make a game a specific way, they'd do it. They wouldn't make Metroid some rainbow cuddlefest, because they aren't incompitent.

Of course they would try, I just don't think they would be able to achieve results as high quality as Retro or Monolith.

Yeah. The guys who made Galaxy can't achieve high quality results.

Would you seek out a hairdresser to fix a computer?

No. But I'd obviously seek out a computer technician to fix a computer.

...I hope you aren't seriously suggesting that that's an accurate comparison. They're both still video game designers. They both make 3D (and 2D) platformers. This isn't some quantum difference in game design here.

There's a pretty big difference in the design philosophy and requirements of Metroid Prime vs, say, Mario.
