Donkey Kong Country Returns and Tropical Freeze both used the same engine as Metroid Prime so Retro adopting a new engine doesn’t necessarily mean anything of the sort.

I think that Retro just needed to upgrade to a engine better optimized for modern hardware; Tropical Freeze looked amazing but the loading times could be a bit of a drag at times and there were a few hiccups that felt really out of place in an otherwise smooth experience.
