I personally wouldn't be surprised if Retro disappears quietly and without much fanfare. I'm confident Nintendo can smell a good game from a distance, and likewise that if Retro fails to make anything ever again, it is because Nintendo's watchful eye discerned that the studio has depleted its ideas and exhausted its potential. But we'll see I guess. There is no point being sentimental about Retro. They could go down in history as a 2 wonder game studio. Metroid Prime series were immense, but it was only the first that did anything groundbreaking. The other two games were just iterative installments. Same with DKCR: a fantastic first game followed by an iterative installment. There's a reason this studio has consistently failed to meet its vision vis-a-vis original game design. All of their own games have never materialised. They were never a studio that was known for efficiency and good management. Sometimes brilliance comes out of hard and toiling circumstances.
