It just seems to become a teams thing everytime they make a successful game. Retro made Metroid Prime, then it was Metroid only. Then they made DKC and it was DKC only. The Splatoon team might make a new game in like 2020 or something. Its just if you make a successful new IP, then it seems like you have to make a sequel to it and nothing else until that IP becomes less popular. |
DK was Retro's own choice though and considering how people cry all the time for a new Prime game I don't really think many people object to them only making Metroid it's in fact Nintendo allowing them to do what they wanted that actually angered people.
Nintendo employs an internal rotation system in their teams where people move on to other IPs and Projects, having a dedicated team for something doesn't mean the same people are working on it, this was mentioned in one interview as one way they bring new ideas into franchises.
