Give them Star Fox first.

Give Kamiya StarFox. He wants it.

I'd love to see what Retro would do with Zelda. Just no damn motion controls for the love of whatever you worship.

 

[Danielsan]

Yes. YES. YES!

Please, please, please make it happen Miyamoto.

 

[SolarPowered]

Platinum Games should make the next Kirby.

Nah, let them handle the next Metroid and let Retro go full force at Starfox.

 

[sixteen-bit]

I'm not much of a Zelda fan, but Retro is a great company. I'm sure they could make a good game.

 

[Lunar15]

Please don't tease.

I've been wanting to see retro collaborate with Nintendo on a Zelda for some time now.

 

[Saty]

Mod it Retro.

 

[BY2K]

DO IT! DO IT, RETRO!

 

[Easy_D]

Retro environment design + Zelda..I'm okay with this! First person would be cool too, honestly. I just want to see something really different, yet familiar.

Then again they might as well just make a Zelda-like game. It'd suck if they were just code-monkeys like Grezzo remaking OOT for the 3DS.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

So I take back what I said about never playing Zelda again. Zelda with Metroid Prime level design and graphics is something that's kind of hard to fathom.

 

[manueldelalas]

I'm OK with this.

When developing new games, I don't think Retro are that good (MP2 and 3 pale in comparison to MP1 or Super Metroid), but when it's about reviving franchises, or bringing back the "core" of the franchise, they are really awesome, Metroid prime 1 is the best revival of Metroid there could ever be, and DKCR was much better than the old games, but it still felt like the old games.

IMO, they should revive Zelda, but make only one game, so they show EAD how it's done.

 

[Aru]

Futuristic Zelda please.

 

[EloquentM]

Oh God, yes!

 

[EmCeeGramr]

prepare the initiations drench the initiates in the liqueur of the grayshield beneath kyoto and then throw them into the delivery caverns to broil until ready and there you have it a retro ready to accept gifts of grace from the spongy ones and make a game, ingest the gifts, give them tribute and now the sons of the star will be sons of the shroom

aonuma has a timeline and it's written in toadstool ink on the cups of delicately pointing platters of fungi and he beckons the one of Retro- to come forth and append his prefix to their suffix and thus with a drop of blood spatting on the soft white surface the ritual is complete


The Legend of Zelda: Divided Unity with first person combat coming soon to Wii U this holiday season $9,000 skulls

 

[GCX]

I think the Retro/EAD collaboration in Mario Kart 7 might lead to some interesting results in the future.

I'd say Metroid Prime 2 is actually the best Metroid game, but I know that's not a popular opinion. Corruption wasn't great though. Couldn't even bother myself to finish it.

 

[Oni Link 666]

I want to see their Shiek game.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Give Kamiya StarFox. He wants it.

I reckon this is happening as we speak. For Wii U, of course. Would explain why he's kept his gob shut for so long (trolling about Bayonetta 2, lol)

 

[Shanadeus]

Retro+Zelda?

Perhaps that equals steam punk Zelda?

 

[shadyspace]

Okay. What would Retro bring to the table?

 

[BY2K]

You are not TTP. I will not believe.

 

[JordanLMiller]

I would really like for them to do something adventure-y again.

 

[Nemo]

I thought he meant 2D zelda

 

[waicol]

Would be nice, best dev in gaming behind EAD tokyo.

*reads interview*

“He jokingly mentions retirement to motivate his staff to excel"

Reading Nintendo's response to Kohler's news about Miyamoto's plan to step down from his current role is laughable. I'm sure that during that well thought out interview, with many interesting insights and topics Miyamoto was in fact 'joking'.

 

[Aeana]

I would definitely like to see this.

 

[Goro Majima]

I'm fine with a Retro developed Zelda.


I'm also dying for another 8-bit Zelda a la Megaman 9.

DO BOTH NINTENDO!

 

[pancakesandsex]

I don't think that would cause anyone involved to back off.

You have made my day.

 

[K' Dash]

A Retro Zelda with HD Wind Waker Graphics would certainly make me go and pick up a system just to play it.

 

[MiniBossBattle]

Hoping Retro would do something with StarFox but Zelda would be a really interesting fit.

 

[mentalfloss]

Ohhhhh that retro.

 

[sixteen-bit]

steam punk Zelda?

No thanks.

 

[Lunar15]

Okay. What would Retro bring to the table?

Other than a "fresh perspective" it's hard to tell. But honestly, that's enough. They've proven that they really get level design and how to take a classic franchise and bring it into the modern era.

I love Skyward Sword a ton, but there is still that lingering feeling that Zelda team can't get past their own definition of what a Zelda game has to be. By giving it to a new studio (anyone), I think you could get something that feels perhaps a tad fresher.

 

[Bullza2o]

Sounds great! Retro definitely makes high quality games.

 

[ASIS]

Okay. What would Retro bring to the table?

Bring it back to basics. All the way back to the original LOZ.


I think that's what most people want now.

Would they be allowed to do anything of any note with that fresh perspective, though? That's my question. I don't see how this would be a situation beyond, "Great Nintendo team makes great Zelda game."

Miyamoto: The fact of the matter is that, inside our office, I’ve been recently declaring, I’m going to retire, I’m going to retire. I’m repeating that message. But the reason why I’m stressing that is that unless I say that I’m retiring, I cannot nurture the young developers.

I'm not sure "joking" is the right word, but it's definitely not a declarative "I'm retiring soon."

 

[Dresden]

Zelda: The Other Z

Team Ninja

 

[victreeb3l]

love retro studios. they need to get DKCR2 out before anything else though

retro star fox would be excellent

 

[Anticitizen One]

Just let Retro do everything!!!

 

[SolarPowered]

Give Kamiya StarFox. He wants it.

I'd love to see what Retro would do with Zelda. Just no damn motion controls for the love of whatever you worship.

He actually expressed interest? Is there link to an article I can read?

 

[Lord_Byron28]

Okay. What would Retro bring to the table?

Amazing level design, artstyle and a fresh perspective. I think if the Zelda team acted as directors and created the general direction/bigger picture while Retro created all the pieces and put them together. It could make a great game.

Not here for the SS hate.

Word is bond.

What Retro pulled off with the Metroid franchise is some sort of gaming miracle. A Miraculous Reception for the gaming world. Or like Doc Ellis pitching a no hitter on LSD. Retro is fully capable of this sort of stuff.

 

[Air Zombie Meat]

Was expecting more upended tea tables in this thread. Could be interesting.

 

[scitek]

A first-person Zelda wouldn't be a bad mix with motion controls. Anyone that played Red Steel 2 knows what I mean. It works better with the pointer, that's for sure.

 

[ProfessorMoran]

Title is paraphrased.

Full WIRED interview with Miyamoto: http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2011/12/miyamoto-interview-transcript/all/1

Basically they want Retro to do production work? Retro's character designs are ugly at best though. I know some people are down on EAD and Aunoma but Retro simply isn't in the same league.

 

[Midou]

Retro did an amazing job with DKCR, my favorite Wii game still. They were able to give the genuine feel and difficulty of old school DKC, with a fresh coat of paint. I would love to see them do a more "hardcore" Zelda, and I mean that in the sense of gameplay, not story, blood, etc.

 

[Lord Ghirahim]

Digging this up for fun.

[Hot Coldman]

You are not TTP. I will not believe.

Mortals think. TTP knows. To claim to be on the same level as him would be blasphemy itself.

 

[Anticitizen One]

Platinum Games x Nintendo.

 

[Berordn]

Bring it back to basics. All the way back to the original LOZ.


I think that's what most people want now.

...in what world is that true? Apparently most people want to have them recycle OoT a third time.
