If it's a racing game I imagine it'd be Monster Games, right?
'can you dig it' was a phrase used to advertise donkey kong land games back in the day.
Let me reiterate this is not Retro's new game.
Please be a 3D platformer.
It could be. Regardless of the development time of Tropical Freeze, another Wii U DK would be easier to make than building a new Metroid Prime from the ground up simply because the mechanics and some assets are already there.
No, not this again. Please. This can't really be an argument guys. Retro Studios is a team full of great talents, they showed it with the Metroid Prime trilogy and they showed it again with the two Donkey Kong games. The reason why their games are incredible is the team's talent as a whole and Nintendo's hand guiding them, not a director that went to Armature to do second (third?) tier games and portings (with all due respect for the work that went behind this titles and for those who liked em, but if things were as you said we would've seen a game on par or at same level as Metroid Prime from Armature, right?). Sometimes, maybe often, the most obvious answer is the right one as well, and the fact that Retro showed their ductility doesn't mean that now they're not able to make another Metroid game at the same level of the original trilogy. It just means that they're very good, no matter what Nintendo tells them to do. Sure, great talents left the team, but great talents joined it as well. That's why Metroid Prime was a masterpiece and that's why Tropical Freeze is incredible as well. And that's why if they do an rpg it will probably be fantastic too. Same applies for DKR2, if it's true and they're developing it, i'm pretty sure it will be a great game. "Mascot games" doesn't mean anything, the kind of work behind a 2D platformer and the work behind an arcade racing game are completely different so you can't really say that now they're about "this type of games". Because Tropical Freeze is a very, very different game than Diddy Kong Racing, just because they share a few characters doesn't mean that the development of these two titles is similar.but, honest question: why people want SO BAD Retro working on Metroid again?
I mean: their actual staff is way more inclined to work on "mascotte-based" game, right now. It's not that the name of the studio develops game on itself. It's the people working on the game, that make the game. In today's Retro's studios there are people talented for DK, not for Metroid. Metroid-talent are gone.
Me too, I want a Metroid over a DK game, because we already had DK and other platforms (even if DK Racing would be...an arcade racer, not a platformer). Me too I'd be pissed off to see other platform and no Metroid.
But it's not that Retro is the only, nor the best, team to handle Metroid.
The studio did great on Metroid, but it's not the same studio anymore.
If you read the thread it's more about people wanting them to do something else.Not necesarily Metroid. Obviously Metroid fanboys are going to clamour for more of that, what do you expect?
The OT for the next Retro game

So sad to see prominent Metroid Prime maker becoming literally code monkey.

This argument reminds me a lot of those about ND when all those people left the studio. Wanna bet that the next Uncharted game will be awesome, despite that?

How well did Tropical Freeze sell? Are there numbers?
"Can you dig it?" was never written anywhere on the DKL3 box art. It was never written anywhere in the manual. When you search Google for that exact passage, the only result is that single fan summary from that single fan site. Give it a rest, folks.
Now imagine a Metroid game made by those who created DKCReturns and Tropical Freeze.
because those are the developers left at Retro studios right now.
And because they are very very talented, it's a shame to see people criticize to much their games if they are not Metroid..
Didn't reach 1 million apparently, from the official website.

This lines up. I had a dream about Diddy Kong Racing U by Retro Studios last night.
I don't remember much, besides...
"MUSIC BY DAVID WISE"
Book it. Diddy Kong Racing U GOTY 2015.
They also know that we are paranoid, remember when we tried to hack the cameras in the parking near their bulding?Well what if it's exactly what Retro wanted us to find? We know they worked on DK. They know GAF is mostly salty about them making DK games instead of Metroid/other IPs. So the only way for them to lead us (and make us go FUCKING DK again) to the title is give us a vague (only 1 result in the whole fucking world wide web) tweet that doesn't break any NDA?
