Comment on Are Nintendo first party games first developed in JP before EN?

Metroid Prime 4 for example would have been english-first as it’s a Retro Studios title with development support from Next Level Games.

What’s interesting is that the North American studio as are actually managed by Nintendo Japan and not NoA. There are interviews with ex Retro Studio employees where they talk about how producers from Japan and Shigeru Miyamoto come into the studio and start telling the Retro Studio staff what minute things they should change in the game they are working on.
