While the descriptions generally steer clear of specifics — listed platforms are 3DS / Wii U for four of the roles, with 3DS / Wii U / Wii in one — there are some elements that point to a home console project. The FX Artist entry states "next-gen shader technical expertise preferred", while incorporating varying styles to "produce FX with a strong and appropriate sense of timing, color and drama". The Gameplay Engineer role necessitates "prior experience working on game-play systems for AAA video games"

Lock (on and scan) if old.

So, what do you want them to be working on? I'm hoping for a third entry to complete a new DKC(R) trilogy. Check out Neiteio's excellent post here for a great proposal for such a game.

 

[spekkeh]

Inb4 Inb4 Metroid Prime 4.


But basically Metroid Prime 4.

 

[Sephiroth_GR_]

Fuckin' Metroid Prime 4!

 

[JoeM86]

Donkey Kong Country 6: Cranky's Revenge.

They do trilogies...they have a right to finish this one off

 

[Sendou]

I want them to work on a video game because I enjoyed their previous video games. Preferably on the most powerful system available. Beyond that they can do whatever. I guess an IP other than Donkey Kong or Metroid would be cool but even that's not important for me.

 

[Currygan]

motherfucking Metroid Prime 4!

 

[Dremark]

More Donkey Kong.

 

[bluexy]

Metroid Prime now and forever.

 

[Diddy Kong]

I'd really like them to do one more DKC at some point with the kremlings. Or a 3D DK platformer. Other than that I'd love to see them work on a mature shooter to tell you the truth.

 

[Friend of Sonic]

I think the Wii U could use Metroid Prime 4 as its swan song

 

[GameE]

Retro studios ramps up recruitment. So they are hiring just like every other company? Im sorry but I dont see how this is news.
I would want a new Metroid Prime from them tho.

 

[zeromcd73]

Can't wait for more Cranky Kong.

 

[Phazon]

It does sound a bit like a new Metroid game, but we'll see

 

[RE_Player]

More Donkey Kong please.

 

[Nibel]

We all know the third DKC game is happening.

 

[sörine]

Metroid Dread. 3D 3rd person adventure.

I think they could do a great F-Zero too. If not on their own then bringing in Monster to co-dev.

Or maybe have them really fill the Rare void and do an original fps, crpg, open world action, sports game, survivor horror or something else.

 

[Pie and Beans]

A new IP like I thought they were working on initially. I don't want them to just work on adopted old cast-off franchises for the rest of their existence.

 

[gugeifer]

New IP.
Please, just some new IP.

I'm sure there is a new Metroid game in the making (for 3DS and WiiU) and new DK will come out eventually. But please, some new exciting stuff.

 

[maxcriden]

We all know the third DKC game is happening.

I hear Neiteio is being hired as a product manager.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Donkey Kong FPS, because reactions.

We all know the third DKC game is happening.

Fucking Cranky Kong Country Returns

 

[Dascu]

A new IP, preferably in the action/adventure/horror genre, or an Eternal Darkness follow-up.

They got some great artists and monster designers, so I'd like to see more of that.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Metroid, please. Going on what, 4 years since Other M?

 

[P44]

please

please sir

may i

may i have some metroid prime 4?

 

[Firemind]

They'll never surpass MP1, so new IP.

 

[Astorgh]

They made DK the justice he deserved, time to go back to space.

Spoiler

Metroid, of course

 

[Luigiv]

I'm going to be different and say I want to see them try their hand at a new IP.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Fucking Donkey Kong 3: Crank the Monkey aka DKC6 cuz thats what they're working on

 

[mdubs]

Let's be real, there is no chance they aren't working on something Metroid related.

 

[Dr. Buni]

Metroid of course, but not PRIME. The Prime trilogy is complete (yes, trilogy, fuck that garbage DS game).

I want to see Retro Studios making a new Metroid, but with a different approach. Third Person Metroid (a la Other M) would be great.

 

[DryvBy]

I want another DKC. I've always thought it would be cool to have the original trilogy redone with modern gameplay and just in one giant game.

 

[MagiusNecros]

Why do people want a Metroid Prime 4 when Metroid Prime the main focus of the series got Phaazed out?

Edit: I would not object to a successor including Sylux though.

 

[ChaosXVI]

I want Metroid more, but if they've got enough ideas for another DKC I'll take it. Tropical Freeze is the best game on Wii U right now.

Really, I just want it, whatever it is, as soon as they can deliver...2016 at the earliest...

 

[Nintendojitsu]

New Metroid game.

2D/3D like the Galaxy games+Online multiplayer like KI:U = PROFIT!

 

[spekkeh]

I think more of a reboot Metroid than Prime 4 by the way. It was obvious they didn't really know what to do with the whole Prime story anymore, considering how lame Dark Samus was.

So yes first person exploration in alien worlds, yes something something mythical Metroids, but shake up the rest.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Yeah, Prime is over. The story is complete. It should be a game with a new subtitle, or just use Dread if all else fails.

 

[Burnburn]

Whatever they feel like working on

 

[Sendou]

Whatever they feel like working on

THIS

 

[Sephiroth_GR_]

New IP.
Please, just some new IP.

I'm sure there is a new Metroid game in the making (for 3DS and WiiU) and new DK will come out eventually. But please, some new exciting stuff.

Metroid Prime 4 is not exciting? The last numbered one came 7 years ago...

 

[Yoshi]

A 3D Collectathon platformer (preferrably starring Yoshi). They excell in level design which is the most important part for a collectathon and the genre is being completely ingnored, since Mario went the skill-route and Microsoft had Rare make some casual games.

Next up on my wish list would be Metroid Prime 4. What I absolutely do not want them to do is an FPS.

EDIT: When I say Metroid Prime 4, I don't mean a game that deals with Metroid Prime (the enemy), I couldn't care less about the story or how the game is named. What I mean is a 3D exploration und slightly puzzle based Action-Adventure in vein of MP1-3.

 

[revolverjgw]

Something new. A dev as good as they are deserve the chance to create something entirely new.

 

[PlumCantaloupe]

New IP that is on the darker side;

Spoiler

or a new Metroid Prime for WiiU

EDIT: As the very least not another platformer, and that it be on WiiU.

 

[P44]

Fucking Donkey Kong 3: Crank the Monkey aka DKC6 cuz thats what they're working on

If they make another DK game, the meltdown would probably rip a hole in the internet.

I hope it's not a platformer.

I really hope it's not a platformer.

 

[D_prOdigy]

I remember the last time we predicted what sort of game they were working on based on staff recruitment.

 

[JaseMath]

StarTropics reboot, please.

 

[Taker666]

Nothing sidescrolling.

Preferably an FPS/FPA...hopefully makes good use of the Gamepad. Metroid Prime 4 would be ok...but I'd be perfectly happy with any fantasy/horror/sci-fi themed game...or even a Luigi's Mansion/Mario/DK/Zelda/Star Fox/Smash Bros FPS/FPA.

 

[Kouriozan]

I remember the last time we predicted what sort of game they were working on based on staff recruitment.

Hence the "Retro Studio working on f*cking Donkey Kong"

 

[Jackano]

Wow! It looks like they're making a game with gameplay, AI and visual effects!

 

[MrBadger]

What I want is for them to use their Fucking Donkey Kong magic on Sonic.

What they should do is either Metroid or something that isn't a platformer.

 

[emb]

The cycle begins again. We'll see the job postings, build up impossible hype levels based on the fact that it's Retro Studios. Then we'll all be disappointed when they only release a great game, instead of a bigger than life dream-masterpiece.

 

[P44]

I remember the last time we predicted what sort of game they were working on based on staff recruitment.

infinite pain

denial

shock

and then pain again

at least the game turned out well
