| Dulfite said: This doesn't sound like they were signed on as first party developers. They are simply choosing to do Nintendo only games because they've sold really well on Nintendo consoles so far. That doesn't mean they won't develop for someone else in the future if their future Nintendo games don't sell well though. |
The interview shows the reason they are sticking with Nintendo has a lot more to do with the shared mentality which results in a very positive working environment. They are a business of course so selling is important, but I doubt they would risk a good relationship for higher profits, considering how much they value the family feeling. I'm unsure whether or not they are just expressing loyalty or have actually signed something that binds them to Nintendo.
OT: The way they talk about their game development, Star Fox could be a nice fit if they want to stick close to the Star Fox 64 experience. I'd rather see Retro evolve Star Fox as much as they did Metroid though and Next Level Games handling F-Zero.
