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.


I said 3D Metroid. Nintendo has always been great at the 2D versions (Fusion etc). I just don't think they'd be able to do a Prime like game as good as what Retro did. The FPS genre has been the one thing, to my knowledge, they haven't attempted.

It was actually Miyamoto's idea to take Metroid into First Person, you underrate EAD and other big Nintendo Studios a lot. It's like with Rare, Rare gets all the credit for the games but Nintendo helped them a lot. And it was shown after they didn't cooperate with them anymore.
