Back in n64 days rare made blast corps banjo kazooie and tooie diddy kong racing donkey kong 64 golden eyeand perfect dark I think altoghether. Thats alot of games and Nintendo need a studio that can release triple AAA games of that quality at that rate. Retro get on it. Ok we cant have banjo 3 but how about a proper 3d DK game.

N64 games take vastly less time and resources to make than Wii U games.

Replicating Rare's N64 output on modern hardware is impossible.

Yep and thats why the industry is going to bankrupt itself.

Tropical Freeze is DKC2.... Just saying....

That's irrelevant. Just because they haven't made a "dark" game doesn't mean they can't. Just like just because Retro hadn't attempted to make a 2D platformer didn't mean they couldn't.

Nintendo proper has no grasp of how to appeal to the PS/Xbox gamer, you see this in everything from their advertising to the software they greenlight. There's no reason to believe they'd be any less clueless about how to appeal with them via an actual game. The only ones with credentials are Retro and Monolith. Monolith are occupied.

They do have the grasp. They've said on multiple ocassions that they don't want those gamers. They aren't trying to get PS/XB gamers. The fact that you're even using Monolith as an example of a studio that can sell to PS/XB gamers is telling. How many Wiis did Xenoblade sell? How many GCN's/Wiis did the Prime series sell? You're being delusional. DKCR sold better than every prime game.

No one cares about Metroid but Nintendo fans.
