I think a new IP would be better than Metroid. It doesn't seem to be as popular as people like to think - what's the last one to push two million units worldwide? Then again, I don't get why people get so crazy over that franchise in the first place.

Donkey Kong Country Returns 2 seems like a pretty stupid idea at this point. A lot of people just bought the first one.
 
I'd love to have been a fly on the wall in Retro's offices when Other M came out.

Like, they revived the series from the dead, made three of the greatest, most critically acclaimed games of all time. Then they turn their backs for five minutes and the franchise is dead again.

I really hope they're working on a new Metroid. It's Prime time.

Maybe "mature" was the wrong term

I mean something with more depth: exploration, puzzles and gameplay mechanics that work like clockwork. A game that I can lose myself in instead of playing few levels and calling it a day; a presentation that relies on more than just artstyle and nostalgia.

I want a Nintendo game that is high-budget and high-quality, and nobody can tell me we had one of those recently

RETRO is perfect for something like that

Totally. Nintendo have released a lot of great games lately. But I'm missing stuff like Twilight Princess. Skyward Sword felt like a fun game. TP felt like a world god damn it. I want to see more stuff like that. I will buy the heck out of something that scale.

Yeah, the lack of an overworld was by far my biggest problem with Skyward Sword. It didn't feel like a world to explore in the slightest. Just a series of long-ish levels.

Nintendo “making a big move” for indies, says Capybara

Nintendo is pulling out all the stops to bring independent games to the Wii U, according to Nathan Vella of Super Time Force, Sword & Sworcery and Critter Crunch developer Capybara Games.

“I’ve seen personally, first-hand, Nintendo making a big move to try and get smaller, unique, independent games on Wii U downloadable,” Vella told VG247.

“They have a really great team there; Dan Edelman who runs that division is one of the raddest dudes in video games, and I would say easily one of the most respected people by the independent community.

“Nintendo is reaching out and trying to do something. They’re playing catch up, obviously, and that’s a hard spot to be in when it comes to getting the new stuff, but they’re really putting in.”

For example, Vella said, there’s IGF Award winner Little Inferno, which first launched for Wii U before heading to other platforms.

I'm sure we'll have an Indiendo Direct next week.
 
Mature in the gaming industry today = blood, guns, bald white space marines, douche bag protagonists, women with big tits, and press A to awesome.

I'll tolerate the guns and blood, but keep that other bullshit out of my Nintendo games. Thank you.
 
Apparently Yasuyuke Honne is hyping himself up for E3 by drawing art on his iPad mini. He's able to draw some quite amazing stuff on that touch screen. Wonder if we're going to see Monolith Kyoto's game at E3? Probably not.

Sooo... Donkey Kong 64-2 it is! This time there will be 7 colors of banana to collect.
 
I count 3D Mario definitely in that group of Nintendo juggernauts that I tried to describe and to make things clear I'm talking about home console games, not the 3DS - I love what they do for the 3DS

Only the first MP is a classic. The rest went to shit after some of the lead designers left to form their own studio.

You basically described Donkey Kong country returns though. Only it has all of that plus excitement and laughter.
 
You guys think the 3D Mario game will be something completely new or simply Galaxy 3? I mean, the Wii U hasn't even been out for a year, seems kind of soon to have a full-fledged 3D Mario already.
 
They are doing quite alot in the indie scene yet sites like Jametrailers skip them entirely when talking about indie support and how sony are leading the pack in that area.

Its a shame really

I 100% agree.

DKCR2 by Retro = Disappointment
New "mature" game by Retro = Must have
Click to expand...

Guys you are getting insane, just low expectations, as I said before expect anything, stop thinking that Retro will do a "Mature"(irgh just..irgh to this term used in THIS thread) IP.

We don't know and to get real DKCR sold very well, so there is nothing guaranteed.

Mario Galaxy came out around a year after the Wii launch. It's time.

Something like galaxy but with completely new mechanics, more exploration (collectables, lots of them) and obviously new enviroments (no more out of space, just some levels and that's it).

My theories of the game and deductions from interviews:

Kazumi has said they saturated form galaxy series, if they did something new they couldn't make another gaLAxy, it would be a different game.

-kazumi has had problems wit previous games with multiplayer:
-differing wills of players
-problems of tracking on same screen

BOOM solved with second screen and new console power

2. Nintendo design philosophy with light/dark world

BOOM different versions of a level on gamepad an wii u screen , multiplayer focus

3. Already experimented with FSA

4. Trouble with relatime switching, couldn't in SMG2 , solved with Skyward SWord.

BOOM light world dark world swapping

5. In between galaxy lineraity and 64 freedom for chance of exploration for both players and unlockables.

6. Super Mario 3D Land is a stepping stone for future mario games, as well as nintendo consoles, this on, built from specific games, from Super Mario 3d land Iwata asks

Mario 3d flagship title therefore some big integration expected.

Nintendo consoles used to launch with full-fledged Mario games that would revolutionize the entire game industry.

I highly doubt that it's going to be a straight-forward Galaxy 3.

It'll use some of the same ethos and level concepts, but it'll be presented in a different package.

Honestly, a new DK from Retro is expected, something else that appeals to more than just Nintendo fans is not.

donkey kong got mass appeal yo, it's the other stuff that'd be niche in comparison. he's one of the biggest video game characters out there and has been unfairly ignored by nintendo up until now

I saw this on Facebook too and liked it. I'm really hoping we see Baten Kaitos 3. Perhaps it's a new character from the game? Probably not.
