Retro actually wanted to do Federation Force!?. Tanabe gave a C class game to C class developer. Surely Retro would want better projects? Or do they enjoy resting on their laurels?

Did they(retro) want to do this game.... Probably not. Would they have liked to continue the Prime series, who knows. But Tanabe controls the series and he can probably dictate who makes what. And Next Level is certainly not up to the level needed to make a true Prime game. So you gotta settle somewhere.

But I would not downplay Next Level so much, they are truely a good developer.

Next Level games is a C class developer. That is not a shit on their talent but more on their status in Nintendo. They're the spin off guys.
