we got Destiny 2 coming next when is the next Retro game? Im genuiely curious, but you are right, they just made Halo for Xbox and they seem to be a Destiny (ugh) machine now.

It will probably get announced at this year's E3. 

I hope so

Maybe it was pride, maybe the games were too good and they didnt want their own games to look inferior. Just a guess

Sure if Nintendo was ran by children.

The talent that made Rare what it was had already left, that's why you have games like Yooka-Laylee coming out vs. what Rare actually does now.

I don't think you can keep talent in one place forever. Western culture is a little different these days where it is a job for life. People tend to take that leep and change now and then. Besides they were there for a very long time together anyway.

To me they just wanted to try something new and a different challenge.

The only reason you would keep RARE was because of the IP they had not so much the staff that was left. Nintendo should have realised that and bought them out and injected new talent into that studio.

Those IPs with the right young talent and Nintendo's guidance could have been amazing.

Yes, it could, but what else could have they done?

The Stamper brothers decided they had enough and sold their shares of Rare (51%) to MSoft, so Nintendo's only other option was to sell the other 49% they had. I mean, no one can really expect a first party to share a studio with another first party.

The problem is that Nintendo didn't try hard enough to find or create a comparable studio after that.

Pretty sure they offered it to Nintendo first ad they didn't take it.

Although Retro has the habit of only announcing games until they're almost ready to release. Donkey Kong Country: Returns was announced at E3 2010 and launched in the holiday period of that year. So E3 2018 isn't impossible either, sadly. I think their game will be released in 2018, but I hope it will get announced at E3 this year.

I hope its something different. Nothing wrong with their DK games played both of em. But that well is running dry

Well, too bad. But that also happened after Conker, that didn't sell as well as they wanted and created some problems between Nintendo and Rare.
