From how I understood the situation he pitched it to them and Nintendo said, 'looks neat, but you don't have enough staff to make this a reality. Come back when you do.' His argument was that once Nintendo signed the contract and paid him, he would have the money to hire enough staff, but I don't blame them for saying no here. Why should they pay him for a promise he isn't capable of fulfilling with his current staff? That's just asking for a project to go overbudget or flop. |
Especially after Nintendo's experience with Retro when it was founded where the business partner who helped found it embezzled some of the funds he was meant to use to help build the studio up.
