What is Retro Studios Working On?

I hope Donkey Kong Country Returns 2, but that probably isn't what they're working on.

I think Star Fox makes the most sense.

Starfox?

They can still do that using other IPs. HarlockJC

Well fans have been asking for a StarFox (amongst other things) from specifically Retro.But to me SF makes no sense.

There was a tweet from a Retro employee (instantly got deleted though) mentioning "crunch time" (presumably E3 related deadline, there were rumors stating that Nintendo pulled Retro's game and 3D Mario last minute because Sony and MS didn't reveal consoles) and also "working on a legendary project"

There are other rumors stating that they are working on a project that appeals to western taste, for example that could be a FPS, a Forza/GT killer. Or what they mean is simply a high budget AAA take on a Nintendo franchise (Metroid, StarFox, F-Zero, the more "hardcore" type)

Another thing to note is that Retro hired art people that worked on high profile western AAA titles.

I've also seen a person known to have contacts / insider info mention that it's indeed a Nintendo IP (take this as a rumor). He did mask it though because his comment could be interpreted as his own guess, but in the context I'm farily sure this guy was actually telling us rather than predicting.

Really hard to tell.

Metroid Prime 4.

Only with Wiimote controls.

Imagine going back to dual analog controls for combat.

No way, even though scanning with the gamepad sounds appealing.

Hopefully metroid prime 4, or new sci-fi action ip.

Hope it's a new Metroid.

Tbh, me too.

I love Prime Trilogy so much.

Fox would be nice since rare destroyed him before they left

What ever it is I think it's big really big. Retro really hasn't done much since Prime 3. DKCR was a 2d sidecroller on a non hd platform. I'm sure it didn't take many resources to make. What ever Retro has in the works has been worked on since Prime 3 development ended. I'm hoping for a Metroid game. I hope they break the mold from the Prime series and bring Samus into 3rd person.

This thread reminds that yesterday outside of Nintendoworld Reggie passed by along with Geoff Keighley and they made a point of Metroid Prime turning 10 Sunday, the same day as the Wii U launch :PKaze_no_Mirai

I noted that too, seemed like a random landmark to me to mention if they aren't planning something.

Since it's specifically about the sub-series "Prime" and not "Metroid" in general.

He gave it away?

Actually they had big issues with DKCR's engine. Retro said they did most of the levels after the E3 reveal, up until that point they were optimizing the engine.

They also did Prime Trilogy which released in 2009.

I assume they started working on their Wii U game started Dec 2010 after DKCR, and it will launch after a ~3 year cycle (Q4 2013)

Only E3 will tell.

As much as I want more 2d Metroid, my guess is Metroid prime 4(along with confirmation of a new trilogy)layton2012

I wonder if it has anything to do with the fruit staring. I hope Donkey Kong 64 2 comes out lol

With a slight bit of compromise, dual control scheme could work.

What I mean is the game has to take it abit easy on overly complex enemy/boss encounters in the same sense a FPS on console must respect that the player uses DA and not mouse/kb. The other thing is, they can't go crazy with gamepad functionality cus then Wiimote support won't work.

So they would be holding back design, but only slightly, if you are able to play the game with both schemes. I don't mind that in the case of Prime 4.

Honestly, after seeing how they handled Metroid Prime, I'd love to see them make a remake of Exhumed/Powerslaverilpas

Remember all the rumors of the Starfox Metroid cross over game? It wasn't announced last e3 so then people just kind of assumed that it didn't exist.

But maybe it does and it just wasn't ready to be shown off yet. I hope its real, if it was anyone else other than retro Id think it would be a horrible idea but I think they can make that into something friggin awesome. They made on of the best first person games of all time and one of the best sidescrollers of all time. So they can in all likelyhood make that work too
