2. Nintendo have'nt invested in retro? http://nintendoenthusiast.com/news/retro-studios-hiring-several-new-positions/ 3. "There were some discussions about working with Miyamoto" 4. your last point doesn't counter jumpins at all. It has very little relevance in fact |
1. Fine, but he's had 12 years to invest in a replacement. He hasn't created or heavily invested in one Western studio. It is an absolute joke.
2. I can't see anything to suggest that isn't just usual staff turnover. This is the studio that had four years between DKCR and their next 2D platfomer. Tropical Freeze was great, but if it takes a studio 4 years to create a linear 2D platformer, it's fair to assume the studio isn't exactly bursting at the seems with staff.
3. I don't really get what your point is for number 3. Metroid Prime was released in 2002 only months after Iwata became CEO. If you think it was Iwata who gave Metroid to Retro you're incorrect.
(That article about Factor 5 makes my point by the way. Nintendo wouldn't financially support the company as well as Sony could.)
4. Jumpins point is Yamauchi lost Rockstar support. Which is true. But in no way argues against Iwata's poor record with Western support.
