This is classified as a rumor, but a former Retro Studios employee left a Glassdoor review citing very poor management and that half the team is expecting Nintendo to shut them down.

Explains why we haven't seen a new game from them in a long time.

Sad, they started off so strong with Metroid Prime.

Dang. Maybe they should have stuck with Donkey Kong.

I don't remember the last time Nintendo closed down a studio. But we have new CEO's now so I can't rule it out.

Money isn't an issue for them, unfortunately it's management. Nothing will get done or you turn out a bad product if you have bad management (looking at Mighty No. 9).

They were in a similar state right before Metroid Prime IIRC. As far as I remember it was Miyamoto who saved the studio and got them focused on Metroid.
