Nintendo can no longer survive on colourful cartoon games alone.

They need to bring in new gamers from the PS/Xbox crowd to survive. Retro is ideally placed to provide these, and as a Western studio they can appeal more to the Western audience, which in today's market represents the lion's share of gamers.

You don't get your A-team to make a game that won't move hardware. Not if you've got any sense.

Retro isn't their A-Team. Retro is just a team. Retro has never "brought in western gamers." Metroid Prime has always been a Nintendo game for Nintendo fans alone. It never appealed to any other market, and wishing it now won't change that. Nintendo can still make dark games and have Retro make DKR2. Metroid servived before Retro and it will servive without them.

Show me the last time a first party Nintendo game besides Retro and Monolith made a "darK" game.
