Retro is great but they are nothing compared to what Rare meant to Nintendo in its hey-day. Naughty Dog has been pumping out hits for Sony since the mid-late 90's. |
Retro has the potential to be the next Rare but there output hasnt been fast enought.
Between 1994-2002 I think Rare released at least one game a year, Donkey Kong Country, Killer Instinct, Blast Corps, GoldenEye, Banjo Kazooie, Donkey Kong 64, Banjo Tooie, Jet Force Gemini, Conkers Bad Fur Day and Star Fox Adventures.
On the other hand Retro has made 4 games in just over 10 years. Metroid Prime trilogy and Donkey Kong Country Returns.
I think Retro needs to get a 2nd team started and release a game every other year just like Naughty Dog.

Rare made new IP's which filled Nintendos new IP gap because eventually at some point they just stop cold turkey with them and they gave them the genres they wouldnt make themselves. They need to make Retro do that or they aren't filling Rares shoes by a long shot. Rare is basically Nintendos errand boys to make quality nostalgia games. They could be great, but Nintendo wont let them.

I really hope Retro gets a 2nd team. If they do that then they can make some new ips while continuing to resurrect older franchises.

I doubt Nintendo will let them, thats why they've been buying up third party exclusives and sealed the deal with buying Monolith. If Retro was larger they would just continue to make them create more sequels. A new IP would be nice, but it seems the older Nintendo execs get the more set in their ways they become. Luckily their games stay the same with characters but are approached differently in gameplay to keep each gen fresh.
