Maybe they have forced out enough of the old Retro to get them to be content with Donkey Kong but that just means we as gamers lose.

Well, I hope those guys are happy at their studio making critically-middling software. I think we all know who owns the soul of Retro Studios, and it's not found in Austin, TX. They have some serious talent, but I can't help but feel their dedication to quality has more to do with Nintendo's own standards and allowance of long development times than anything else.
