We are fans of Nintendo, we can have our cake, and eat it too. They can have a new team work on Metroid, for some fresh ideas. Doesn't have to be full first person 3D, could just as well be a hybrid of 2D and 3D. I can understand who to Retro the Trilogy is done and over. But then I am all for Nintendo strengthening their internal teams further so we have more first party games coming in, once you have the games, the rest will follow... including third party wanting in on the action.A 2d Castlevania game from Retro would rock no doubt but if we dont get a Metroid fix this year or next I may check myself into Betty Ford
Willing to bet Wayforward could knock out a 2d Castlevania or Metroid game and stay true to the originals.
Nintendo just needs to be smart and make Platinum their Second party, Platinum has expressed interest in that several times
