I suspect the old GameStop entry was a mistake or joke. I built all those games, lol, and the gyro can’t do it. Rebuilding the hundreds of interaction sets in MP3 alone, not to mention retuning the game to accommodate the slower pace of conventional control involvement, would likely take a year with a team of 4-5 people full time alone. The main problem is that Retro no longer has functional editor tools to work with the Prime code base, so everything has to be “brute force” hard coded. I was a lead designer on all 3 original games, led the Trilogy compilation project, and was a lead designer on Donkey Kong Country Returns. The gesture controls in Prime 3 would be difficult to translate to conventional controls. Mike Wikan, the aforementioned senior game designer, explains that Retro no longer has the Prime codebase editor tools.
