The difference in production between Donkey Kong Country and New Super Mario Bros. can be clearly seen if you're a 2D gamer: Fully rendered 3D objects versus simple and sometimes 2D backgrounds, and the music difference is huge too. Clearly, in terms of game production (and I even argue effort), Retro makes better 2D games than whoever makes New Super Mario Bros. game in Nintendo (I don't think it's the same Mario galaxy team or the usual EAD team. If it is... ...).Clearly Retro should expand and be in charge of New Super Mario Bros. and teach the other Nintendo team how to put more effort into 2D games.

It makes perfect sense.

well i think they should split up into teams for their DK/E rated and Metroid/T or M rated needs.

also, why do people want Retro to work on everything? there are other talented teams and there's a need for more talent (i.e. new studios) at Nintendo, but they are my and many people's favorite developer so i guess i understand where they're coming from :P

I think that retro are far too talented to make sidescrollers.

Well.. they really do a great job with platformers.... but it seems that right now they have different projects, after finishing DK:TF. I hope they´re working on a new Metroid or Star Fox game

There's enough Mario platformers on the WiiU. I want another Metroid Prime.

or ubisoft.
i would like to see a mario made in ubiart.
also, ubisoft woyld finally profit in a nintendo game.
