Nintendo, please loosen Retro's leash this time.

Honestly, I'd love to see what could Retro do with an idea/game of their own.

Nobody wants Retro to crash like NST did, so let's hope that this Wii U game "that everyone wants us to do" is something that THEY want to do as well.

What the customers want to play is more important than what the developers want to create.

A lot of developers have forgotten that.

The leash is fine as it is. Not tight enough to make the employees resign en masse or anything, and not so loose that they start shoehorning their crazy ideas into their games. (Like Sakamoto and Aonuma, for instance)

While I concede you that what consumers want is usually more important that what developers want, you have to remember that sometimes developers know what's best for their games, not consumers. For instance, if developers only did what consumers want, GTA games and its clones would still have a top-down view like the early GTA games had.
