Neither.

Factor 5 shouldn't develop Nintendo frachinses.

Retro should, as stated previously, do their own thing.

Would be a very bad idea to take Kid Icarus into the same direction that Metroid Prime went into.   That would be a media and fan nightmare.

Retro had help making all three metroid games fro several EAD producers including Miyamoto and the first person metroid wan't even thie idea but was Miyamoto. So they have not really done anything by themselves since being bought by nintendo so why whould that change? Also three top guys from retro left including the lead character designer and director of the metroid games.So I'm more incline to believe that thier getting massive help from Nintendo's EAD teams and producers instead of doing thier own thing.

Come on, Retro only worked in Metroid games so far, they should try anything new. Be it Kid Icarus or any other original IP or any Nintendo franchise. They should keep on doing Metroids, but later on, just not now.

I JUST WANT GAMES NO MATTER WHO MAKES THEM.

I think Metroid should work in Kid Icarus. Also Factor % should make the next Starfox game, It would be awsome.

I would prefer Factor 5 to make Rogue Squadron 4

^Agreed.

When given the time and resources to produce a complete and well polished game, Factor 5 can make some technically impressive and enjoyable games; I would much rather they worked on a flight simulation like Starfox because their ground based gameplay has been (very) clumsy in every game since they made Indiana Jones for the N64.

As far as Kid Icarus goes, I don't think any developer would produce the game I would like them to make ... I think the title has a lot of potential to be made as a hybrid Banjo-Kazooie styled platformer and a Zelda styled adventure game

Well i would like Retro studios to make Kid Icarus,cause it would be good if Factor 5 make Star Fox Wii(but no foot gameplay).

Thats a hard one, retro with metroid and Factor with rouge Squadron , I'd say factor just because the squadron games I loved so much when I was younger, and I have longer play time with them.
