Is it so hard to believe that studios hire more people when they realize they are behind schedule and in danger of not meeting the deadline for release?

I refuse to believe they're having trouble meeting Tropical Freeze's already-delayed-by-three-months deadline when its not much more than a Wii game in HD, and they've been free to work on it since November of 2010.

Shouldn't the words "already delayed" and "since November 2010"  ring alarm bells regarding the proficiency of the developers?

Retro are one of the most talented teams in the industry. The delay to Feb was almost certainly a strategic one; Nintendo realized they would be left with no major games in the first quarter of the year again, and used DKC as a stopgap.
