I wasn't disappointed with Tropical Freeze's announcement either, and it's one of my favourite games of this generation so far.

But given Retro's history people had every right to expect something more conceptually and technically ambitious from them, and to be disappointed that what we got instead was a game that plays it very, very safe, and occupies a genre already well covered on Wii U.

And making a fourth Metroid Prime game wouldn't be considered playing it safe?

Not 7 years after the last one, on a new HD console that lacks a game of that type.
