Not every Nintendo studio makes good games, NST is one of them. That's all that can be said about it. Who's to blame? Both the managment and developers. How come Retro Studios is able to make good game after good game? Maybe NST has a difficulty understanding design goals because Hunters is the worst selling Metroid game and it was on Nintendo's biggest userbase. Just because it has a multiplayer doesn't mean the singleplayer has to suck. Metroid Prime: Federation Force looks equally shitty to me. |
Nintendo is to blame. Defenetely. I'm glad you mentioned Retro. Obviously Nintendo assigned a good team to manage Retro. And it wasn't without its share of problems. Many Retro games were canceled, like Ravenblade, and a lot of people were laid off as well but Nintendo wanted Metroid Prime to succeed. They never showed this dedication to NST. NST failure is Nintendo failure as a game company. They never really wanted NST to be successful. Nintendo was lazy and incompetent. Nintendo is to blame.
