Kirby and the Rainbow Curse is a waste of time.

But neither of those games are wasting the time of an elite studio like Retro that can do so much more.

Uhm... Ok Retro is an elite studio, fair enough, but still imo it's worng this "waste of talent" criteria is used only for Retro.

Hal Lab, have made Smash Bros it's not exactly like they're a little indie studio, they could do much more than a Kirby game imo, and GoodFeel have proved to have some very good graphical and level esign abilities, too bad they're applied to a "kindergarden-easy" style of gameplay.

Everyone hated DK Tropical Freeze simply for not being the "next metroid", like Retro is the only entitled studio to make Metroid, why shouldn't Nintendo EAD make it, rather than the 5th Mario game in 5 years? After all EAD used to make Metorid before Prime, and the seiries was already top-notch quality.

I wouldn't put HAL in the same league as Retro, not by a long shot.

And while I did love Tropical Freeze personally, from a commercial point of view it was a dumb move; the system already had several 1st party platformers, they would have moved more consoles if they'd made Metroid or a new "hardcore" IP.
