We don't know what happened with Retro Studios those years. I refuse to believe that they just couldn't build up a game. At worst, they would have made another DKC... and they are more than capable of doing that.

I just have the feeling that they were working on something, was almost finished, but Nintendo shut it down (most likely Star Fox Grand Prix. And after that, the morale just... dropped.

It's true we don't know exactly what happened, but the end result is the same; the last time they released a new game was 6 years ago. I find it hard to imagine Nintendo canning an almost finished game for no good reason. Something at Retro clearly went horribly wrong and we just don't know if the Retro of today and recent years is even capable of what they once were.

The end result is the same, but the ones to blame may not be Retro Studios. All I'm saying is that until we know what happened, saying Retro is not capable because they haven't released a game in 6 years MIGHT be unfair to them. Then again, it could be anything really...

As for canning near complete games... it happened before
