As far as Bungie goes, they had alot more credibility than Retro going into the development of the game, just not in the console world. From what I've heard about Prime, I'm glad Retro was able to pull off a similair feat.

I am a firm believer that Miyamoto did something to Retro to enable them to pull this off. No way was that group working alone. I think we shuld check for X-Files style neck implants.

Read the interview Nintendo of America had with Miyamoto and some members of Retro. They may answer your questions.

Getting NCL involved in the project early really helped to make Metroid a quality game.

Members of EAD have been working with Retro for, like, the last year. Of course Nintendo had a lot to do with it, it's Metroid for christ's sake.

Give credit where credit is due. Retro had the primary hand in crafting what so far seems to be a hell of game. Nintendo's involvement doesn't take anything away from Retro's achievement.

They finally came up with a standardised videogame-developer grading system, eh?

Yeah. It's called track record.

I can't wait to see how all the morons in the Gaming Age forums drool over Prime for a week or so then proclaim it "overratted" all the while wasting their time trying to figure out how to have a coherent Metroid "conversation" with that brain damaged spaz, Mister Angry Face. Oh, the hilarity.

Hypocrisy is the nature of the net my friend.

They had about as much crediblity as bungie before this game turned out to be amazing, remember? I seem to remember everyone shuddering at the thougth of a 3D metroid.

Heh, those were the days. I seriously thought Retro was going to screw this one up royally, then the demo came. Pride shattered.
