I am over the idea that Retro needs to be making Prime level games and have moved on to the idea that they just need to be making more than two games per console generation. If that means a DKC plus whatever, fine, but it just seems to be a waste to have a talented studio not working on multiple projects. Nintendo needs to have more first party content than ever before, western third party devs simply aren't going to be a driving force for their platforms. Retro should have Fzero, Wave Race, and 1080 all in development right now. Under supervision from EAD for sure, but that isn't any different that Metroid or DKC.
