I'm sorry but what made them think Namco Bandai would be a good fit for the Prime series? It'd be like sony giving Uncharted to Platinum games... super efficient studio but not known for the tone, detail or story telling of the uncharted franchise.
I think it's time Nintendo invest in another western studio ala Rare. They've got so many sure fired 10m sellers like (Smash, MK, 3D Mario, Splatoon, Zelda, Pokemon) and whole bunch of lower budget automatic hits like Mario Party, Kirby etc I think they can afford to put some money into 1 or 2 tonally mature AAA IPs.
I was hoping Retro was working on something like this, hopefully we still see a new game from them and get this Metroid at the launch of the Switch 2 (2022)
