May I have a cookie?
Could be interesting but the gameplay needs a unique twist I feel..

Yeah I agree. Just saying you can't judge what game an entire team is making based on the background work of one or two people.

Wants the largest console games publisher to avoid Nintendo's platforms.
Your sources missed the VR support.

Why are you in my head. I had almost word for word the exact same thought in my head while doing chores just a few minutes ago.
& Knuckles.
Yea but the meltdowns from people who overhyped themselves with some notions of the equivalent of some Grand Epic.^^

I hope its a 3D Donkey Kong game.
Just see salt and because I want one.

Yep. Aside from him straight up admitting it in the comments there, IIRC the .xm file for that track has "Apologies to Hip Tanaka" in the notes.
Oh wow. The main Metroid theme is right in that song.

Seriously, i'm not hating on Kongs but, anything other than the Kongs. Perfect attempt at platformers Retro, you nailed it. Now perfect something else..
New IP preferably even. I'm not so sure a Metroid prime nowadays would fly high with it's gamecube mechanics, and finding something "new" about that franchise, while satisfying fans, would be hard as fuck to pull off, like Zelda Botw. Not many studios can even pull something like that off with a long lasting franchise.
I hope it's futuristic, i hope it's FPS, i hope it's not cartoonish (just for diversity).
In fact, bounty hunting in sci-fi, non metroid, there's a cancelled game that fit this and i think Retro would have fit in quite well. The original Prey 2.

I will say, if this ends up being Metroid, I'm going to be impressed it hasn't leaked in the last five years that they're doing that.

Well, Retros games never leak really. So, this secrecy and non leakage wouldn't be anything new.
I had a dream they announced 2 games.
Yup.

Is this my reboot of Mysterious Murasame Castle, Nintendo?

True, but I'm still impressed the continue to do so, haha.
im shocked this took 3 pages to crop up, it was the first thing my mind jumped to
Retro is Nintendo's Black Box.
It never gets leaked until right before the reveal.

I'm surprised nobody's uncle that works for Nintendo has leaked anything that Retro is working on....

I've tried and I tried but there is just no stopping the GAF hype train.
"Zomg Retro is awesome now they hired a bunch of people from Naughty Dog!" No, it was one guy, and he's gone now.
"Zomg but Miyamoto said Retro can work on two big games at once!" Kinda hard to do when it's a 70 person studio.
"Zomg Retro can be like the new RARE!" See previous comment.
"Zomg all the people from the Prime games left they can't make Metroid anymore!" There are a bunch of people that work on the Prime games still there if you check out Linkedin.

And like I said in another thread, if games like Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate and ReCore are any indication, I think Mark Pacini, Todd Keller, etc need Nintendo much more than Nintendo needs them, really. Retro is as good as they are because of Nintendo.

Those same people who keep repeating "Retro can't make Metroid games because A,B and C left" will be jumping for joy if Metroid Prime 4 gets announced.

If they are making two games, I hope they announce the DKCR Collection first, just to see the reactions haha.

No, they're good because they work well together. If it's all on Nintendo why do Arzests games suck? Why aren't Next Level's and Good Feel's games as good as Retro's when they are a similar team size and development periods? Why aren't many of Nintendo's own games as good as what Retro can do? Also, Recore was clearly rushed out the door, and Blackgate was obviously given a miniscule budget. I'm not saying Armature hasn't been disappointing since their formation, just that it's not necessarily all their fault.

I'm going to need to look up an appropriate extreme celebration gif if it's StarTropics. I've been asking for an StarTropics reboot since Kid Icarus Uprising came out.

Well, we know that Nintendo has been entertaining an ongoing effort (product or service research or development) regarding Eternal Darkness for a few years now. I think Retro Studios is a great fit to remake that game. Whether they are actually working on an Eternal Darkness game is something up for discussion.

Because its not retro and Nintendo. What he said still hold true he didnt say anything about these other studios.
How yall be making up stuff to argue about?
Arzest made Find Mii 2. Your argument is invalid.
Dark Cloud

I feel bad for Retro in a good way lol? People want a new IP, a new Metroid, a new DKR, a new Eternal Darkness, a new Star Tropics, a big western focused IP.
I really think Nintendo should've grown their studio a long time ago to make sure they can make two games at a time.

Despite how much I yearn for another Prime from Retro (or a new IP), after actually playing through Tropical Freeze I wouldn't mind at all if we got another Donkey Kong game from them--one of the best platforming titles I've played and perhaps the greatest thing on the Wii U*
*specifically referring to games only found on Wii U, so no BotW ;P

You forgot Secret Sauce.
Yea I think my main problem is this idea that all the weight always rests on Retro because somehow people put all their hopes and dreams of a typical Western-AAA-like mixed with Nintendo Magic in Retro because of the Prime trilogy and if they're not doing something that fits the bill it's all:

Or more heavily invested in more western studios. Which I still think they should do.

YES BABY, OH MAN could he be working on Metroid V / Metroid Prime 4??? OH BOY.
Though I do hope Kenji Yamamoto will be assisting at least.
