| curl-6 said: While Tropical Freeze may be absolutely brilliant for what it is, (and in my humble opinion one of the best 2D platformers ever made) the sad truth is that it's simply not what gamers wanted from the first HD project by the makers of Metroid Prime. People used to be immensely hyped to see what Retro would do next, they were seen as a studio that could do no wrong. There is nowhere near as much excitement surrounding them now, because gamers are wary of being disappointed again.

Not to mention that Donkey Kong actually launched Mario, and he had a game named after him, and not just a game like the others, but the first hugely successful Ninty coin-op, when Mario hadn't even his proper name yet (he just had a nickname used internally at Ninty and not revealed to the public in the game).
