Thats what happened with Star Fox Assault... Namco developed it, and I realllllllllllly tried to like that game I mean I put effort into it, I loved the style, the graphics were superb, but man did everything outside of the arwing parts blow, and even the arwing parts weren't as good as every star fox game that came before it.
For everyone that says the DK games have sucked since DK64 I've heard nothing but praise for jungle beat and I'm gonna pick that one up myself, a few people said it's similar to DKC since it is a side scrolling game, so I'm gonna check for myself.

The game probably failed because nintendo didnt give them enough support or guidance. They probably just threw money at namco and expected a good game (I'm just supposing).
I was refering to nintendo taking a small 3rd party studio and making it a 2nd party, much like rare in its day or retro studios, even though they could try another 3rd party, such as activision or infinity ward.
Namco developing star fox was certainly a wierd move on behalf of nintendo though.
