source of the rumor?

http://playeressence.com/metroid-prime-4/ Again, it's a rumor. Personally, I would love to see another first person Metroid game (even better: a 2.5D sidescroller), but Metroid Prime ended. THere is not much that you could go off of for MP4. Hell, the 100% ending was too vague to make anything of it.
I don't believe that Metroid Prime 4 rumor. I think Retro Studios has done all it set out to do across the span of 3 games. I would not be opposed to a 4th title or even a new take on Metroid, but it seems more likely that Retro would do a sequel to DKCR especially when it sold so well.

That's good news if true...
That rumor is fake. I guarantee you that. It is written like something out of the IGN Nintendo Boards.
Don't do this too me. I can't handle it!!!!!
Actually, I am hoping the next installment in the series is third person. It would be so rad-ass.
So... there's no [Starfox x Metroid: Fusion Saga] for both Wii U and 3DS? D:
Not if you want to keep being able to post, it's not. 90% of the people on the internet don't know how to interact with each other online without trolling, though, so....

I suspect that the U Miis will benefit from character specific clothes, hats and accessories in a similar way that 3DS have had with hats from StreetPass Quest thingummybob.
For some reason the Japanese go mental for dressing up characters in different outfits, it's a real big thing over there.
I really like Miis, when I first got my launch day Wii console home I spent about half an hour messing about with Miis before I played Wii Sports lol. They certainly have a great deal more character than the PSN and Live ripoffs imo. Funnily enough I think it's down to the simplicity of them compared to the others, like not having arms for the most part.

Shouldn't it be relative? Otherwise you'd have to score Wii games graphics compared to PS360 games, and etc.
I dunno, in that case some Wii games would have to score a "10" for graphics (since PS360 games do)...and I doubt any did. Anyways I digress.
Maybe this question isn't meant for the Wii U thread specifically, but how hard would it be for Nintendo to unify the Virtual Console between Wii U and 3DS? I'm asking this on a technical level.
I've been told that each Virtual Console game has a whole emulator coded for it alone, as opposed to Nintendo coding general emulators for each platform. If this is true, then wouldn't unifying VC require them to re-code each individual VC game to work on the 3DS? If this is true then it would mean that the only reason the Wii U will probably retain the whole VC library is because of its Wii BC.
Still, if Nintendo could unify VC, it would be a massive boost to the 3DS's library, especially when so many people are talking about cheap downloadable games on other mobile devices.

LOL Yea, but I'm still looking forward to Miiverse.
I don't see any reason why that isn't even likely.
They already suggested that Gamecube will be added as a platform on Virtual Console, and that even Wii U games will be available digitally day-and-date with retail. Wii games sound like a no-brainer at that point. We just have to hope that the re-releases have been up-resed to HD. I think there's a good chance they will considering they're already re-releasing old classics on the 3DS in 3D.
Who's that from, Zelda Informer again?
EDIT: JESUS FUCK, IT IS! GOD DAMN IT!
EDIT2: No wait, it links to another random website.

I really want Super Mario Galaxy 2 in HD, retail.
The game seems to be the magnum opus of the Wii and 3D platformers in general, I'm finally getting back to the original after ages, I wasn't hooked like I was with Sunshine and 3D Land, but it's finally growing on me.
SMG2 looks much better, and has Yoshi to boot.
This game could truly shine on Wii U in 720p/1080p with AA. They should release it alongside NSMBU, and for really cheap (like $30-$40, depending on the price of the games if they go HD tax on us).
Should take EAD Tokyo no time flat. The game should work on the pad, does Yoshi's tongue require the pointer? They can work it like Sunshine and just home-in on the nearest target.

Wasn't it sorta confirmed that they were doing something different? Was it even official that they said they weren't doing a DK game?

but the third game clearly ended on a cliffhanger
The Metroid Prime games reached their consumer ceiling a long time ago. The odds are that Nintendo has Retro Studios developing something else. Most likely an FPS in the same spirit, with a new theme different than Metroid.

If Retro is doing an FPS its a waste of their talents

A poster named Li Mu Bai said Retro was not working on an existing IP.
It's what Western developers do best. It's what Western consumers buy more of.
Damn it...

Agreed. I don't know how I could be more disappointed.
I'd much rather them start some new adventure IP.
I'm confident that Retro is working on a new IP. Most rumors I've seen from people supposedly with connections in the industry said that Retro's game is geared more toward the Xbox/PS3 crowd, and that description doesn't fit any of Nintendo's franchises really.
My hunch is that it's a 3rd person game. Shooter, I doubt it (though it may have shooting mechanics) but I'm guessing it's third-person adventure.

To me it sounds like Tecmo used trial and error with the PS360 version compared to the Wii U version. But some makes the PS360 version sound so bad, I wonder how much these corrections will help.

In what way? So far all we know of their talents are their ability to make first-person adventure games with great shooting mechanics using Wii controls, and side-scrolling platformers. And I guess we know they are skilled at making games that Nintendo doesn't think are worth shipping, since Retro has made a number of those

I never played NG 3 myself, but from watching the video reviews/gameplay videos it really seemed like a repetitive game with not a lot of extras to unlock or nearly as many moves as the previous games. Not to mention cut out dismemberment......
So for the Wii U version it's looking like they might have fixed a lot of that stuff from what I've heard/read:
-Dismemberment put back in
-More moves to unlock including more Ninpo specials
-More weapons to unlock
-Increased difficulty/more advanced enemy artificial intelligence
-More enemy types to fight against
It sounds like a return to previous Ninja Gaiden games......which is a good thing right?
Let's say, hypothetically, Ninja Gaiden 3 overcomes its apparently major flaws and transforms into a good game as the Razor's Edge edition. Team Ninja and Nintendo have basically acknowledged the original NG3 release is garbage, and are not just porting the game, but trying to improve it.
Has there ever been a game that was universally panned, but came back for redemption on a new console?
