Retro Studios should be Nintendo's Naughty Dog: Journey to the West

If Retro could get a steady stream of their own original games that do the things you propose early into NX`s life, I agree that it would help get the momentum going to bring that western audience and the 3rd parties. It could work I think.

I don't expect Retro to be able to release a steady stream of anything. They aren't big enough. Nintendo needs more than just Retro which is why I suggestion commisions early on for the NX, but what's important is that Retro hits this home run before the NX releases. The ball has to start rolling on the Wii U. That audience needs proof before the NX.

Should they bother to release anything big on the Wii U? It'd seem like a wasted effort overall if they did. What good what it do for them to start on the Wii U rather than on the NX? It'd probably be better for them to start on a clean slate on the NX rather than risk having poor sales on a dying console. It doesn't seem like it would be a PS3 turnaround in this case.
