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

@OP - If you have seen ND's 30 year anniversary then you will understand Sony and its philosophy. It didn't started with Uncharted. When PS2 was released Sony realized gamers are growing up. So they catered games around it. In Jak and daxter 1 jak used echo and in the third part he started using machine guns. Back in 2011 Sony told its internal studios to focus on mature type of games. Yes. They will still make games for younger audiences but grown up gamers are their main focus.

And another mistake of Nintendo is not to adapt. Back in 90s when donkey kong came out it was unique. But in front of ori and the blind forest, tearway or puppeteer it pales in comparison. Nintendo no longer has USP or unique selling proposition.

And that's frankly terrible. Why should platformer stars be using machine guns? It's basically a stereotype of the games industry and part of why that franchise was mishandled compared to Crash or Uncharted: both of those games at least knew who they were targeting.
