I don't really need another Punch-Out. I've got in on my Wii U already.

 

[Ushojax]

They deserve to be given a big IP, there Nintendo titles have all been excellent.

 

[Vanille]

But Retro's already got a good plan for Metroid and good structure. After Other M, we need to guarantee that the next Metroid is what people want, and Metroid Prime IV is the safest way to accomplish this.

The Retro that made the Prime trilogy doesn't really exist anymore though. Most of the key players have jumped ship.

 

[SatoAilDarko]

I would love a new Strikers though this is obviously not it. An arcade sports title is the one thing really missing from my Wii U collection.

I hope it's no Luigi's Mansion 2. It's feels surprisingly too soon and the way that game is structured with small individual rooms it's one of the few franchises that I feel works almost the same on handheld or home console.

Seems a waste to put that on console when it works so well on handheld and there are handheld stuff that would be improved going to console.

My wishlist in order of want:

1. Mario Strikers
2. Metroid
3. A different Nintendo IP
4. Punch-Out
5. Luigi's Mansion

 

[Blunoise]

Whatever it is I hope it's at e3 so I can play it on the show floor!

The Retro that made the Prime trilogy doesn't really exist anymore though. Most of the key players have jumped ship.

But they have the assets, they have basically everything they need for the Retro staff to pick it up. If Next Level Games made a new Metroid game, they would almost definitely do it from a new direction.

 

[Neiteio]

I can see it being Punch-Out, and this would please me. But what I want from them more than anything is a new Strikers Charged.

 

[Zyrox]

Please be a new Mario Strikers, please.

Spoiler

Pretty please?

 

[timetokill]

I was just telling somebody how much I want a new Strikers.

The amount of arcade style sports games is so dire right now

But why fix what's not broken? Retro has Metroid down to a science, it's best not to mess with a winning formula (especially after Other M). Let Next Level Games do that 3DS Metroid game they wanted to make, sure, but the Wii U game should be left to Retro Studios.

Couldn't this exact argument be used to not have given Retro Metroid to start with? Why can't other companies work on the Metroid IP?

Letting other companies work on console Metroids has worked well just as many times as it's failed.

Metroid is in dire straits right now though, we're not in the same place we were when Prime was put in charge of making a 3D Metroid.

They've lost key members with every release and that hasn't effected their quality at all

 

[MissileTrick]

It's obviously star fox , guys. /s

I seriously think it's another Punch Out.

 

[Shiggy]

Now none of the leads are there anymore though.

 

[Purple Mug]

Luigi's Mansion 3 for WiiU with one giant Mansion and the environments directly outside it to explore please. Otherwise I'll take a new Punch-Out!

Imagine Luigi's Mansion 2 or a third entry with the 3DWorld/Captain Toad engine, goddamn!

 

[A Link to the Past]

Imagine Luigi's Mansion 2 or a third entry with the 3DWorld/Captain Toad engine, goddamn!

I refuse

Captain Toad was neat, but I'd be super duper grumpy if the next Luigi's Mansion was so unlike its series.

 

[Purple Mug]

I mean the graphics engine

 

[A Link to the Past]

Oh.

Yeah, sure, that'd be neat :v

 

[TheSpaceBetween]

Cool to hear they are officially on a new project.

Now when will Nintendo officially scoop them up.

They don't need to. NLG said they are now exclusively working with Nintendo, and the relationship seems to benefit both parties. No use changing anything.

Next Level X Retro Studios Metroid colab

They are both great studios capable of handling their own game. Why on earth would you want one game rather than two?

The Retro that made the Prime trilogy doesn't really exist anymore though. Most of the key players have jumped ship.

You could say that about any company that made a game fifteen years ago. There are still plenty of people there that worked on the Prime Trilogy.

 

[javac]

Luigi's Mansion looked incredible visually on the 3DS from the lighting to the animations so the thought of a Wii U game is exciting to me

 

[Neiteio]

Imagine Luigi's Mansion 2 or a third entry with the 3DWorld/Captain Toad engine, goddamn!

*yawns deeply*

I'd just want an HD version of LM2, to be honest. Captain Toad achieves its visual fidelity in part by cutting out all of the intricate detail that makes the LM series so special.

Pushing out a resource heavy game in a shorter period of time might require double the amount of effort

Of course I would like 2 games instead of one though.

 

[Zalman]

Personally, I hope it's something they haven't touched before. Not Strikers, not Punch-Out, not Luigi. I think Luigi is the most likely possibility though.

The clean look is a conscious artstyle decision. I'm pretty sure the engine allows for more intricate texture work if need be.

 

[BeatResetsTheWorld]

Now none of the leads are there anymore though.

Until they start making crappy games I wouldn't be too worried

 

[A Link to the Past]

I'd be fine with that, but why not Punch-Out!!? Little Mac deserves a sequel.

Captain Toad was also made in a year with a small amount of Staff. I'm sure NLG could make an amazing LMWiiU with three years time, a full staff of developers, and the most powerful hardware they've worked on thus far.

 

[lord_of_flood]

Same here. Honestly, I'd like to see them take on something like 1080 or Wave Race, though that's probably a pipe dream.

 

[Meesh]

Animal Crossing U??

 

[AlephAlpha]

Wario 3D World. Make it happen, NLG.

 

[Purple Mug]

Now none of the leads are there anymore though.

Eh, the development culture that pumped those games back still exists. The project leaders might be gone but their imidiate subordinates are still there. Plus, nintendo always flies in a very capable supervisor to keep shit going smooth anyway so.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Metroid is in dire straits right now though, we're not in the same place we were when Prime was put in charge of making a 3D Metroid.

We kind of are. Metroid hadn't had a new game in an entire console generation, it was somewhat of a dead franchise, the Metroid Serie's only appearances being the two Smash Bros games that came out between Super and Prime.

Metroid was in the same place F-Zero is right now back, which I think people would agree is a franchise in dire straits. It's actually quite similar to where the Metroid series is right now.

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

Please be Punch Out

 

[Gorilla Shark]

If they are working on a 3DS game, I would love a Punch-Out I can take with me on vacations.

If they are working on a glorious HD Wii U game, then I want Luigi's Mansion 3.

Everything they touch is awesome, so I'm sure I'll be there day 1

 

[Neiteio]

I have no doubt that a WiiU Luigi's Mansion would be straight-up one of the best-looking games on the system, if not THE best-looking game on the system. And it'd rival the games on my PS4 (like I contend MK8 already does).

 

[Purple Mug]

... I kinda dont want Punchout tbh :/

 

[NotLiquid]

Losing Wi-Fi on the Wii left a Mario Strikers-shaped void in my heart.

Every game I regularly used Wi-Fi for on the Wii has been replaced one way or another by a superior game. Except Strikers.

You know what to do, NLG.

 

[TheSpaceBetween]

Now none of the leads are there anymore though.

False. The entire original animation team is still there (as of Tropical Freeze), as is one of the original lead artists.

 

[A Link to the Past]

That's not nearly the same situation. People were demanding "a Metroid" back then, and today, people are demanding a Metroid that is as good as Super Metroid or Metroid Prime. Metroid died back then because of inactivity, Metroid is at risk of death because its latest entry is one of the worst video games Nintendo has ever made. That's a huuuge difference, and it's why making a quality followup to Super Metroid is just "nice" while making a quality followup to Other M is necessary.

 

[blu]

They're probably working on something

They're working on Alone in The Perfectly Dark Luigi Mansion.

Either that or Alone in The Eternally Dark Luigi Mansion.

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

I don't know you you are. But I will find you...and I will kill you.

IMO, Strikers 3 shouldn't be until the next console. How long do you think it'll take before Nintendo pulls the plug on Wii U online play?

 

[R.D.Blax]

Mach Rider revival here we go !

 

[TheSpaceBetween]

I doubt it. They probably just show up to work and play indoor hopscotch all day.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

My guess is that it's Mario Strikers or something in that vein.

 

[FryHole]

Animal Crossing U??

Not a series that's particularly famous for its in-engine cinematics, surely?

 

[Lijik]

Waluigi finally getting his own game

 

[SporeCrawler]

mario strikers!

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

Sounds like Punch-Out!! 2?
Please be Punch-Out!! 2

Gabby Jay having Glass Joe as trainer, in fact, the only thig I would like to be imported from Super Punch-Out!! is the trainer mechanic.
Also some boxer that is italian and sings opera while he fights.

I don't know you you are. But I will find you...and I will kill you.

I don't know who you are. But I will find you...and I will hug you.
