No, No, No. They did this to Retro. It is absolutely unbelievable that Retro has not done any original IP. Mercury Steam are talented developers that just need a major hit. I would hate to see them just be another grunt worker for Nintendo's IPs

Retro was founded in an alliance with Nintendo. They were always going to make exclusive games for nintendo consoles. Thats the whole reason for their existence, make Nintendo games.

I mean if it's not a stupidly big purchase why not? Sony and MS have been buying way bigger companies for awhile now. Biggest purchase I see for them is something like level 5 tbh.

Making games exclusive to Nintendo Consoles is not the issue being addressed here; Obviously they're owned by Nintendo. Why has Retro not been given an opportunity to make a original IP? Have they not earned it? When will Retro go beyond grunt worker for Nintendo IP's? When will they have the opportunity to grow their games portfolio beyond established Nintendo IP's
