Miyamoto on working with western devs on Nintendo franchises, is all about trust

I'd prefer them keep their IP strictly internal apart from 3D Metriod. That's the ONE game that I don't think they could pull off on their own.

I'm pretty sure an internally developed Metroid game would demolish anything Retro is capable of. The last major one Nintendo did was Super Metroid, which to this day is the best in the franchise.

The thing about their more minor franchises (like Metroid, Star Fox, F-Zero) is that they're not big enough to use Nintendo's A-Teams on them.

 

Retro isn't outsourcing though. Retro is a Nintendo owned studio.

While this is of course true, I find it interesting that they consider it kind of outsourcing - I think that shows that despite the fact that Retro is Nintendo owned, Miyamoto (and by extension I would assume most of Nintendo's top-brass) still don't consider them 'part of the family'. Another example of just how conservative Nintendo is - it makes for great games though so I try not to complain.
