Here's hoping its retros version of an uncharted/Tombraider clone

If it is, it better destroy those games in the creativity department. Retro does love its level set pieces as much as Naughty Dog does though, it could be a possibility.

 

[Zalman]

New IP from Retro would be interesting.

 

[Astral Dog]

Federation Force is Metroid's swan song you guys

No more Metroids after that

Federation Force is going to bomb

 

[AzaK]

Not Metroid? Well 1/3 less reason to get an NX then.

 

[Dark Cloud]

I think it got posted earlier in the thread, but about the same time Retro finished up with DKCR:TF they hired a graphics and cinematics artist from Naughty Dog, a Character Artist who had worked on Darksiders and a guy who was the graphics engineer for Visceral ( EA)

There was also a rumour going around that Retro were building a new next gen Multi Core- game engine. seems like the timeline matches up pretty well for the NX, and if Nintendo was building a new engine from scratch it could explain some delays.

I've been saying this. If Nintendo really wants to get a better and more open image of themselves, then they would expand Retro and let them make a Uncharted type of game. Let them make a realistic looking type of IP. Let them make an open world mature game. Or let them make a WRPG!

I would love to see if Retro could make any of these and it would help Nintendos image so much + expand their portfolio + opens them up to a new audience they don't have who would buy their system for those types of experiences.

This could potentially still be a Nintendo IP that isn't DK or Metroid, right? This doesn't necessarily mean it's a new IP.

Also, the rumor says it's not DKC specifically, so it could be another type of DK game. Like a 3D DK platformer? Who knows?

Can someone answer this please? Did she clarify in meaning it's a brand new IP altogether or is she saying its a new IP meaning they're working on another Nintendo IP that's not Metroid or DK related?

 

[Vampirolol]

Fuck this. Poor Retro studios is gonna face another meltdwon because rumors.

 

[Gleethor]

Not Metroid? Well 1/3 less reason to get an NX then.

Awww man, you guys hear that? AzaK isn't getting an NX

 

[FZZ]

Eternal Darkness

Calling it now

 

[KingBroly]

Federation Force is Metroid's swan song you guys

No more Metroids after that

I've been expecting them to say 'this is Metroid's last chance' ever since they said the same thing about Chibi-Robo.

Then again, it really depends if they know how BADLY they fucked up with this one.

They probably don't.

 

[Shaanyboi]

Eternal Darkness

Calling it now

lol

 

[Red Devil]

Any chance that they revive Raven Blade?

 

[El Sabroso]

Eternal Darkness or F Zero

 

[SinCityAssassin]

QUICK. SOMEONE CHECK THE CAMERA.

 

[Aostia]

It is an amiibo game. Pretty sure.

No thanks. Also, those particular hires were from 2011-2012 well before Tropical Freeze was even revealed. Frankly I wouldn't use any hiring as sign of what Retro might be doing.

 

[Vampirolol]

It is an amiibo game. Pretty sure.

Probably something like skylanders. People expecting Uncharted are delusional, this is Nintendo.

 

[KeRaSh]

It's another Zelda game, and it was co-developed with Platinum and From Software and it's super dark and mature

Zelda Souls.

Spoiler

I actually wouldn't even hate this... Keep the puzzle based dungeon stuff and tweak the sword / weapon feel.

 

[Pokemaniac]

Can someone explain to me the obsession folks have about Star Tropics?

I seem to recall a pretty high profile fake rumor that said Retro was working on Startropics.

 

[vinnygambini]

It will be a game based on Miyamoto's new-found hobby. What will it be.

 

[Instro]

Retirement.

 

[vinnygambini]

Retirement.

Wiitirement

 

[Spyder_Monkey]

They should make a game with robot dinosaurs set in Colorado.

 

[Paul Gale]

Anybody remember that Star Fox and Metroid crossover rumor from long ago?

Yeah, that was a game that Retro Studios did have as a proposal from talks between them and Nintendo at one time, but it never moved on to development. It was a pretty interesting concept though and definitely could have worked if handled correctly.

Instead, from Retro Studios on Wii U, we got Tropical Freeze in 2014 and SF Zero from Nintendo/Platinum Games in 2016. I wonder how "Fusion Saga" would have turned out of Retro did in fact go forward with it and how would that game be received.

 

[Godzilla's Left Toe]

Retirement.

Theme park consultant

 

[SinCityAssassin]

Probably something like skylanders. People expecting Uncharted are delusional, this is Nintendo.

Retro Studio Amiibos. They were the game themselves.

They played you so you could play them.

 

[Randy Solo]

I think it's going to be a multiplayer pirate simulator

 

[Aostia]

Probably something like skylanders. People expecting Uncharted are delusional, this is Nintendo.

Yep

 

[Menitta]

Probably something like skylanders. People expecting Uncharted are delusional, this is Nintendo.

I'm not expecting anything like Uncharted, but if it's Skylanders, I'll jump out a window.

 

[Peterc]

I remember years ago talking them about some racegame that they liked to do, new IP.

I just wants a 2d metroid. Hope we will get one from another studio of Nintendo.

But it would be better for the mainstream if we got a 3d metroid against halo destiny and so on....

If Nintendo were to make an Amiibo game I would expect it to be from EAD.

 

[takriel]

A few more tidbits of info wouldn't hurt, you know, Ms Rogers.

 

[Ivan 3414]

Probably something like skylanders. People expecting Uncharted are delusional, this is Nintendo.

I think expecting Skylanders from Retro is equally delusional

 

[Milly Osworth]

Gritty Paper Boy reboot.

It will probably a genre that will make gaf unhappy. Like a puzzle game or something.

 

[darkinstinct]

Of course it is not, Nintendo is trolling me. Every successor I want won't be developed. No new Metroid Prime, no new Wave Race, no Mario 64 remake, no new Lego City Undercover.

 

[Pancakes R Us]

Retro tends to have a 3 year dev cycle, so 2017 makes sense given that TF released in 2014. Whatever it is, I look forward to it finally being unveiled, hopefully later this year.

 

[Gleethor]

Holy shit it's Paul Gale

 

[Ombala]

Hmm no Metroid was the reason I never bought a WiiU because that and Zelda are my favorite series from Nintendo. I really hope we see a Metroid game for NX.

Wonder what went down for development to be abandoned? Any ideas?

 

[R.D.Blax]

We had rumor some time ago which said Retro pitched something at Nintendo and it was accepted right ? Maybe it was true after all

 

[ramparter]

Diddy Kong Racing

 

[m4st4]

R.I.P. Metroid

 

[marmoka]

I wanted a new Metroid, but no problem, I love their games. I know it will be a great game for sure.

 

[takriel]

So who could do the next Metroid, then?

 

[Litri]

If there's no Metroid, I'm fine with a new IP. I can only imagine what Retro could do if they
could let their creative minds go wild.

 

[Plum]

Setting myself up for disappointment, then if the game is better than an Amiibo-driven NX gimmick showcase I'll be pleasently surprised.

Nobody? Kimishima is a dreams killer

 

[TheBaldEmperor]

Holy shit it's Paul Gale

Yeah I doubt that.

 

[DownGrader]

How's that "ReUmagined" dual-GamePad Super Mario 64 remaster coming along, Mr. Gale?

 

[UnemployedVillain]

Probably something like skylanders. People expecting Uncharted are delusional, this is Nintendo.

People saying stuff like this are delusional
