Why'd Raven Blade go down???

That was looking to be a GREAT game--finally, a mature game from Nintendo. WHAT HAPPENED TO IT?? Why did Retro cancel such a great looking game??

yep, Retro fired about 30 developers/programmers recently, and moved all the remaining staff who was working on Raven Blade to Metroid Prime. Metroid is a huge title for Nintendo, so they want to make sure it's being done right.

Not really, because Shigeru Miyamoto is overseeing the whole project. He's not directly working on it, but Miyamoto has been to the Retro Studios a couple of times to check up on the progress. I would say, that if anyone can pull a game of this calibur off, it would definately be Nintendo and Miyamoto.

I'm hoping you're right. I really want a new Metroid...and I hope it's actually good!
