Fact.
IntSys is the only tether that remains between Nintendo and myself. So no, you lose.

My Argument.
Has Intelligent Systems changed the industry? No.
Has EAD changed the industry? Several Times.
But Intelligent Systems should probably be favored by nerds because there job is to develop games for hardcore nerds. Meaning 100-300k sales per game.
EAD has to develop for the masses. Fortunately Zelda and Mario are better IMO than the N64 versions. Wii Sports is pretty close to the EAD arcade mantra we loved when we played Wave Race and 1080, wait till you play Wii Boxing for proof. Wii Play and Wii Music and Wii Big Brain Academy are so-so. But maybe they will be fun who knows.

R&D1 is still alive. Only smaller than ever.
SPD holds 4 development teams right now.
SPD1 is Yoshio Sakamoto and the Metroid team
SPD2 is Hitoshi Yamagami and a few other R&D1 guys.
The rest of R&D1 went to EAD (Nintendogs team) and Iwata's special Brain-Age team.

Good thing I only play games for their perceived importance to the industry. Oh, man, I guess that means I have to play Nintendogs now, doesn't it?

It's a really long list man. Spanning from the 70s. Technically Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Jr. were by R&D1 even. Game & Watch titles.. The team used to be massive.
Recently... (Before Split)
Wario Land 4 (GBA)
Metroid Fusion (GBA)
Wario Ware: Mega Micro Games (GBA)
Metroid: Zero Mission (GBA)
Very Recently (After Split)
Wario Ware: Touched! (NDS)
Mahjong DS (NDS)
Tetris DS (NDS)
Rhythm Heaven (GBA)
Mahjong WiFi (NDS)
Wario Ware: Smooth Moves (Wii)

The SPD teams are supposed to work with second-party developers on most of their games. SPD1 (Yoshio Sakamoto) does have in-house progammers and designers that worked on Wario Ware Smooth Moves and Rhythm Heaven.
SPD2 doesn't have much of an in-house staff, but Yamagami is allowed to draft programmers and designers if they are free to develop games like Mahjong and Tetris DS in-house.
SPD3 is completely a production group that works with outside developers.
SPD4 i dunno about.

Only because Miyamoto is in charge of them. EAD will never have their series' comprimised. I heard that EAD was always jealous of R&D1 abnd IntSys... Dunno how true it is though.
SantaC said:yeah Retro's first attempt on a Metroid was infact in 3rd person. I wish they had pulled through with that
3rd > 1st.
Totally agreed. A lot of people like to rag on Retro, but it's kinda unfair imo. They're really talented guys, it's just that Nintendo forced them to make a game go in the direction it did.
trh said:Isn't Metroid Prime 3 the last in the Prime series? Couldn't that possibly mean that they'll try something new?
I think Nintendo believes that now they've 'revived' Metroid, they have to keep it going for a bit. Retro may do some other franchise, but I'm afraid they'll probably end up doing Metroid Omega or some shit.

Bah, I feel like Metroid had always been about the atmosphere of the game. The first-person with the visor effects worked flawlessly in achieving a level of immersion hardly seen in videogaming.

What? Prime wouldn't have come together in the first place without Nintendo's influence/guidance. Heck, Retro IS Nintendo. And Retro was disorganized, plagued with "too many, too soon" titles (like that football sim, high-fantasy RPG and car-destroying game) and without proper leadership. Prime 1 is a masterpiece, and yes, in first person it worked damn well. Thanks to Miyamoto and the EAD helping squad.
