Metroid Prime 4 won't be developed by Retro Studios and i'm okay with that.

My concerns regarding this are twofold:

(1) I sincerely hope it hasn't been handed off to a subpar or unfitting developer.

(2) What on earth have Retro been doing for the last three and half years?

According to Nintendo, it's being handled by a completely new team, so very much like the Prime 1 situation being Retro's first game. Whether they're any good or not remains to be seen, but this looks like an ambitious project, I doubt they'll do it wrong.

As for Retro themselves, they're the ones I'm truly concerned about here. 3 and a half years seems like an awfully long time to make a game, let alone not even have one announced - I fear they might be no more.

There were rumors that they didn't get approval for their next project after Tropical Freeze until late 2014.  So, if that's true then it's more like 2 1/2 years so far.
