Damn Nintendo for outsourcing franchises...they did it with Star Fox, now Pilotwings..any other?

The best Star Fox games were, voila, developed by one of Nintendo´s internal teams...look at the results when they started outsourcing.

There may be some game(s) they outsourced that turned out ok or great and I´m not aware of, but the way I see it is 1st party titles should never be outsourced, at least not if the original title was quite good and acclaimed (like SF and Pilotwings for the SNES), but hey what do I know right?

The FIRST Star Fox was outsourced.

Only the coding.  Game design was 100% Nintendo EAD.
