It's common thought by fans that Retro was forced by Nintendo to do this game, instead of being by choice. I doubt we will ever know, its just a bit puzzling to me that they were interested in making another one of these games. I read before that a lot of the old retro staff left when TP went into production, so that doesn't bring too much confidence that they did it by choice. I just hope that they are currently working on a new IP. But there was a rumor going around that Nintendo denied Retros first 2 pitches for there newest game, so I wouldn't say they have creative freedom. |
Well there's creative freedom and then there's quality control. Sometimes ideas are just bad, even if they're from good developers. We'll never know for sure.
I think the bigger complaint isn't that they did it by choice but rather maybe Nintendo should have encouraged them to work outside of genres Nintendo has covered quite thoroughly
