Yes this gen and by a long shoot. Xenoblade X is one of the must haves of the Wii U while Retro's game is a dissapointing unambitious project that looks like from a gen before compared to X. Right now people is more excited to know about the next Monolith project than Retro, as Monolith has proved that they can puso the hardware rather than playing safe.
Right now there's zero hype for Retro, unlike at the start of the gen. |
Yeah, Tropical Freeze damaged Retro's reputation considerably.
In 2011-2013 there was intense hype about what Retro could deliver on HD-capable hardware. There is far less excitement now for what they'll do on NX, because last time the hype train ended in crushing disappointment.

I...seriously doubt Tropical Freeze damaged their reputation considerably. I'd argue there's less excitement about what they'll do on NX than, say, 2011-2013, but that was because Nintendo was consistently teasing everyone with "Retro's working on a secret project" for basically two straight years. Retro's gone (mostly) quiet with no real details for what they're working on, so of course there's less excitement.

I dunno, back then it was "holy shit, imagine what the guys who made Metroid Prime could do with next gen hardware!"
Now it's more "meh, Retro used to be great".

I certainly haven't met any of the "meh, Retro used to be great" crowd, so perhaps I'm a little biased there, but say Nintendo announces that Retro is working on an entirely new IP for NX (with no other details). I would bet money that there'd be roughly equivalent excitement to what there was back in 2011. The disappointment came from Tropical Freeze not being as ambitious as something like Metroid Prime. I don't think that anyone sincerely doubts Retro's ability to push the limits of the hardware (at least, I sincerely hope not), they just haven't chosen/been assigned a project to do so in a while.
