Apparently there is enough difference to net DKCR six more points than Yoshi's Island DS on Metacritic.

That's meant to be an argument in your favour?

Since my position is that Artoon would not do a better job (and since you seem to not have any problems with using Metacritic in order to make points), then yes.

If it was a global truth that putting Retro on any project would get a publisher six points more than Artoon, I think we'd see every game being given to the Artoons of this world.

Either that or Metacritic is not an ideal source of determining a game's quality. I would prefer to go by personal experience, which leads me to say that Yoshi's Island DS or anything Artoon has ever did is nothing close to the quality of DKCR. But then we'd be getting into an even more subjective area, where I can point out several levels in DKCR I thought were awesome, then you can tell me that they aren't, then we may run out of decent gameplay-centric areas to take this discussion.
