It is when your console is struggling and desperately needs system sellers of a kind that studio can deliver better than any other first party team.

Says who? Who exactly gets to say that Retro is the only studio capable of delivering a system seller game or "better than anyone else." You're logic is embarassingly flawed. Retro's job isn't to make you Metroid games. Their job is to make good Nintendo games like every Nintendo studio. Nothing is a "waste of their talent." They don't get special treatment.

DKR2 is just as good a use for their talents as anything else.

Nintendo has a dozen studios that could make DKR2. But Retro is their only studio (besides Monolith, who are busy with X) who has shown a proficiency at creating the kind of heavier, darker games that could appeal to the PS/Xbox audience and bring in new customers.
