That's probably the Bloodstained project they are supposed to be porting, maybe the switch version?

Man I can't wait for Cranky Prime.

That's fine. I'm hoping it's either an Uncharted type of game, a WRPG or Star Tropics 3 modernized. As long as they do something new that's on a grander scale like Uncharted or a WRG I'll be happy.
Metroid Prime 4 is good too of course.
Dammit, and I was hoping for Nintendo to have made a collaboration with Epic to make Jazz Jackrabbit Returns.

That was Armature studios, formed by ex-Retro devs, or I'm missing a joke about Armature being the real Retro.
That's Armature Studios.

I know this was done for a fast joke.
But i hope people remember that Next level were just workers without input in the federation force debacle, and that all the fault of that game is Kensuke Tanabe forcing Bryce Hollyday design the game no one wanted.
Is very telling when Hollyday has always done interviews of all the other Nintedno games he designed and it was just Tanabe this time.

I'm gutted by this news unless it's 2d metroid.
If this is really true then nintendo needs to hand someone the task of a donkey kong returns and tropical freeze hd collection for switch.

I used to listen to his unreal tournament and deus ex music through a tracker player because the files loaded up on them. Looking at his list of credits, he's had quite an impact on me. Jazz Jackrabbit 2, both Vigilante 8 games which were awesome and had great music. Not played Tides of Numenera yet.
Really looking forward to whatever both he and retro are working on.

I don't think Retro would've needed to do it. Plus if what Miyamoto said is true and Retro is big enough to do multiple games they can still do a new game and a DKCR collection if they wanted.
he's obviously writing music for the nighttime sessions where you can freely roam the t-shirt and golf clubs (available to buy with in-game coins) mall in Retro's next game, Donkey Kong Country's World Deluxe Supersport Tournament, play polo, golf and surfing up to 4 people in local multiplayer for great fun

No, Kozlowsky moved onto Bioware then Double Fine after Tropical Freeze shipped.

He was the only from from ND. Retro did pick up a bunch of Vigil people after they shut down, though.

What? Retro has nothing to do with porting Bloodstained. You mixed up some weird headlines there.
Armature, founded by former Retro leads was/is porting Bloodstained. Also, they don't need a sound designer/composer for port work.

Breath of the Wild and Metroid Prime are my two favorite games of all time. But people need to stop asking for this. Open world is antithetical to Metroid.
same, if they're going to make an open world rpg, please make a new IP for it

I'm starting to get a feeling we're getting a fully rebooted fresh start Metroid game from Retro. Everything that came before is out of the window.
It really isn't Metroid design is essentially just gear gating an open world in interesting ways. FYI it is completely possible to have a claustrophobic open world.
How about 3D open Maze Metroid?^^ Imagine huge maze to explore on the scale of BoTW?^^
Steak?^^

well, i for one cannot wait until e3 now.
I would rather see them making a Cooking Papa game.^^
This might be our first hint as to the nature of Retro's current project, insofar as it suggests something more mature. I mean, I'm sure this composer has range and could do something "lighter," but his pedigree would probably draw Nintendo's attention if they were looking for something darker.
If they're continuing one of their previous franchises, I suppose Metroid is looking more likely than DKC, although it could be a new IP altogether.

how about an animal crossing game?

Maybe its a gritty FPS with Peach as the main character. Two birds one stone.
That 'From the makers of Metroid Prime' slogan at the Recore reveal really confused some people
Retro should be the new Rare for Nintendo. Having them work on an FPS is the next logical step.

Didn't Tanabe pretty much confirm Retro is not working on Metroid when he talked about Federation Force. He said he wants to do a Metroid game who follows the post credit scene from Prime 3 and hinted at another one in FF (which indeed happened). But he also said that Retro is busy with something else and that he doesn't have a team who can work on that at the moment. I am pretty sure they are working on a new IP and while I love Metroid, I am fine with that. A DKC game would have been finished by now imo.
Here's some of his more recent music: https://alexanderbrandon.bandcamp.com/

the fact that someone uttered the words "Retro Studios" is hype-inducing.
that there speaks about the hermetism and secrecy of that dev team. I don't know how they do that,
they were done with DK:TP many years ago and no leaker has managed to get the smallest of hints after all those years.
they are going into a E3 reveal clean, with no pre-leaks, not even rumors. astounding for a western dev. in this day and age
