Retro are good at making Metroid games why give it to anyone else???

Nintendo also own Retro so Nintendo are technically making the game.

Nintendo expand Retro Studio's to create more western games.

That's more like it.

It would be nice though to see Retro dab their hand in something that they could call "Their own".

Yeah Metroid "Prime" would be their own..... to a certain extent. It was heavily supervised by NCL.

It would be nice to see them with their "own" franchise and develop something by themselves.

Wasn't it originally their own solo project then Nintendo asked them to turn it into a Metroid game?

I knew Dringo would say exactly that.

It'd just be nice for RS to make their own francise or something.

What I don't like is the assumption that Retro are somehow seperate from Nintendo. They are as seperate as intelligent Studio's or NTSC... as in not at all.

Only a handful of those who started Retro still work there. 75% of the crew were fired and some replaced by Nintendo's own employee's. Nintendo own Retro. They are one and the same.

What's the difference in saying "I'd like NTSC to do their own franchise", why not? Sure they are Nintendo but so are Retro.

But why???? The team are made up of those that made Half Life, Turok and Goldeneye... this a team built for an innovative First Person title like Metroid Prime.

Expand the team, don't take away their prize asset!

And if you try and tell me that Metroid isn't them doing their own thing then I am dissapointed.

I can guarentee it wasn't Nintendo's idea to make the game a First Person title.
