From the press kit:

Thought this deserved a separate thread.

 

[LightningXCE]

New dev team.

I mean, if they were formed because of their passion and want to make the game, it gives me some hope they know what they're doing.

E: I love how the 'Features' are literally the same as the main paragraph, lol

From the press kit:

Thought this deserved a separate thread.

Hype intensifies.

 

[funkystudent]

New dev team is good news.

I hope Retro is doing something fresh.

 

[efyu_lemonardo]

New team? Hmmm

Cranky Kong confirmed from Retro!!

 

[Blarg]

Developer: Nintendo

Confirms it's an internal team, no?

 

[Alienous]

lol at the features just being the summary.

 

[Meffer]

Going to the first Prime game for inspiration.
That's fantastic since prime 1 is my favorite.

 

[Defect]

No Sylux pls

 

[Oersted]

New team in Japan I guess?

 

[ckaneo]

Seems like they are finally fixing that mess of a story they have

 

[UnemployedVillain]

Well I like how they emphasize the series core ideas of isolation and exploration, almost as if they're telling fans "We get it, Other M and Federation Force were not what you wanted"

 

[Tuck]

I like the fact that they mention isolation and exploration. Good sign.

 

[tkscz]

Broken image, is there a direct link?

 

[Nocturnowl]

Isolation and Exploration, yep that sounds about right.

 

[mysteriousmage09]

late 2019 earliest is my guess.

 

[Pinky]

Well I like how they emphasize the series core ideas of isolation and exploration, almost as if they're telling fans "We get it, Other M and Federation Force were not what you wanted"

That's what I took from it as well.

 

[Shiggy]

Ok, that clears it up. Wonder who exactly is on that team.

 

[Rösti]

Broken image, is there a direct link?

The image works for me. Try clearing cache and cookies.

 

[BigEmil]

Hope its more like Metroid Prime 1. Not a fan of 2 and 3 they were kinda meh

 

[Gitaroo]

Im gona miss the wiimote controls.

 

[SatoAilDarko]

"And introduces a new storyline that ties together the events of the Metroid Prime universe"

Yup. It's definitely Sylux.

He's been involved in the stingers of the last two Prime games.

 

[EhoaVash]

watch the new team be Next level games lol

 

[Plinko]

New dev team is good news.

I hope Retro is doing something fresh.

By "something fresh," you mean "finishing the off the greatest platforming trilogy of all time."

 

[DeuceGamer]

New Development Team as in new to Metroid Prime? New to Nintendo? Or totally new?

Very interesting and hope to hear more soon.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Now that retro isnt working on metroid anymore Im not really yearning for what they are doing. When I see it I see it

 

[Not]

Im gona miss the wiimote controls.

I imagine you can aim with the joy-con bro

 

[wrowa]

The word "isolation" gives me hope.

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

Mario Odyssey's fact sheet also says simply "Nintendo" as developer. So maybe this is internal?

 

[Futureman]

Someone should give Rich a phone call.

 

[FelipeMGM]

They really have nothing yet, they bloated this fact sheet with the same info twice lol

 

[Justin Bailey]

I love that "Features" is just the preceding paragraph with bullet points.

 

[Takamura-San]

No retro... Hope they are working on new IP and not wasting their time with more donkey Kong.

 

[Servbot24]

New dev team makes me nervous. It's so easy to mess this up. Game needs to have:

No NPCs
No dialogue
No set pieces
No surface level plot aside from a brief intro or something
No character development aside from through gameplay

Are they going to resist AAA tropes? It's very rare for any dev to have that much self-control.

 

[whyamihere]

Well! That's... something.

 

[13ruce]

"And introduces a new storyline that ties together the events of the Metroid Prime universe"

Yup. It's definitely Sylux.

He's been involved in the stingers of the last two Prime games.

He freed a baby metroid so it's gonna be awesome sauce.

 

[Bronetta]

New dev team for this sounds promising.

 

[Scoops]

"Developer: Nintendo"

So it's a new EAD team perhaps.

 

[FZZ]

Hoping the game is dope

Don't somehow want an Other M situation

 

[Im_So_Pringles]

You had me at "First Person Adventure" and "First game in series as inspiration"

Dear fuck. What an E3 for a Metroid fan

Edit: They also said "isolation" THESE PEOPLE GET IT! YESSS!

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Yeah, that description gives me a lot of hope.

I'm also SUPER excited Retro is working on something else.

 

[hatchx]

'Isolation'
'Exploration'
'First Person'


Thank you Jesus.

 

[Croc]

Sounds like more of a focus on the direction of 1/2 rather than 3 which makes me super excited. 3 was still good but it's not the direction I really wanted to see the games go in.

What the hell, why would you want these 3 things?

 

[KingBroly]

I hope it looks more like Metroid Prime than their last effort

 

[Thatanas]

No retro... Hope they are working on new IP and not wasting their time with more donkey Kong.

You mean spending their time on another installment of one of the best platforming franchises ever? Gotcha.

 

[IronicSonic]

Is Retro alive tho

 

[HYDE]

Well I like how they emphasize the series core ideas of isolation and exploration, almost as if they're telling fans "We get it, Hunters, Other M, and Federation Force were not what you wanted"

Fixed for thoroughness.

The first 2 didn't hurt Zelda at all.
What the hell is wrong with plot and character development?

 

[buttdiver]

watch the new team be Next level games lol

The developer being labeled "Nintendo" makes this seem like a newly formed Nintendo EPD team (formerly EAD)
