Why can't Nintendo take care of their own franchise? Then we will never see Star Fox again? I mean that made no sense, sorry. Nintendo are very well capable of making a true DK game again, they just experimented with it and it all went wrong.
Plus Metroid was not alive for a long time, the first game after Super Metroid was Metrpoid Prime. Count the years and you will realize how dead Metroid was. |
You kind of hurt your argument with the last statement there.... It took them buying a whole new studio for them to even try making a new metroid meaning no one at the time wanted to do even touch the series....I think this will happen to Donkey Kong just as well it take someone outside the main development teams to take a chance on it...

You're forgetting Metroid Fusion, an internally developed game that was underway at the same time as they assigned the newly acquired Retro Studios to it.
|
Retro was giving Metroid Prime first even before Metroid Fusion strated development this is easily to tell since were released at the same time and there is no way Metroid Fusion took as much of development time as Metroid prime.

You might be right. A quick hit on wiki says that Metroid Fusion (or what became Metroid Fusion) was first confirmed at E3 01, whereas the very beginnings of Metroid Prime was one of five project pitches made to Retro Studios very soon after they were acquired in 1999.
Of course, that's solid data on the very beginnings of the ideas for Metroid Prime, so we can't know when it was originally conceived to develop Fusion.
