Hopefully Nintendo isn't using Pikmin time with this. If they are, then this could take upwards of 4 years to be revealed.

pikmin 3 started as a wii project that got moved to wii u. actual developing time is much less than that.

Probably Metroid Prime 4, hopefully it will have online multiplayer.

metroid prime was a trilogy that already ended. a new game with the same style wouldn't be called prime.

I would love Banjo Threeie and Jet Force Gemini developed by retro. If only micro f#ckin soft would sell those franchises back. seriously, what's the point of owning those franchises and doing nothing/destroying them? looking at you Nuts and Bolts.

I don't really think you can say a game isn't a masterpiece because it lacks a good story.

Then Mario 64 wouldn't be considered one. Games can be masterpieces based off gameplay alone.


I get what hes trying to say tho, those 2 games u just need to follow the successful formula that has already been established. Retro is so talented that they can create completely new gaming experiences.

There's still room to change that formula if need be; they're not locked in.

Thats true but theres not a whole lot of things u can change in a racer or rail shooter besides refine and make them better. Retro seems like a team u could literally tell them to make something nobodys seen before and would come up with an amazing game.

I still reckon there's room to break new ground in those series. For instance, maybe make them not just a rail-shooter/racer? expand into a new subgenre perhaps?

I agree if they were to go that route than Retro is as good as any other team to do it

I'm not sure why ppl want Retro to develop a Star Fox or F-Zero game so much. Retro is capable of creating masterpieces. The Metroid Prime trilogy was a masterpiece imo. While ppl need to not forget that Star Fox is just a in rails shooter and F-Zero is just a racing game. As fun as they can be, they can't be masterpieces, so why waste such talent? Let some less talented folks deal with these kind of games, I'm sure they will still be extremely fun, but not masterpieces cause they don't need to be and imo they can't be.


It's not what I want, it's on Nintendo, and they haven't let Retro working on any original I.P. for like 13 years now. So if its going to be a Nintendo IP, I think Star Fox would be a good fit and makes sense.

We know Iwata was looking for a studio to take over the IP anyway.

There's a chance that they are working on a Star Fox game. However I have a little theory: NintendoLand. 

NintendoLand is a great game for marketing future releases. Pikmin was there, Yoshi was there (to market Yoshi Yarn, and Yoshi's Story 3DS), Luigi's Mansion minigame (to market Luigi's Mansion 2), maybe the DK crash course for DKC Returns for the 3DS, Animal Crossing for the upcoming 3DS game. So the Metroid minigame is use for marketing a new Metroid game, and that might as well be Retro's game. 

There's the rumor that the guys who made Nano Assault Neo (can't remember their names) are working on a new F-Zero game, so that might be the reason why a F-Zero game is present in NintendoLand. 

There are no Star Fox minigames in NintendoLand, so if my theory is correct we might not see a new installment, at least not yet.

It was tragic seeing the sequel to masterpieces Banjo Kazooie and Tooie turn out to be so miserably mediocre.

I personally think they are working on 2 projects. One being an existent franchise (most likely Metroid or Star Fox) and the second one being a new IP. 

that's really possible considering the number of new employees they got last year. there's also the rumor they're developing an engine that makes full use of wii u capabilities as well as developing a game with it. if that engine was made available to third party's for free/low price it would be great.

While your Nintendoland theory has merit, the new Wii U game by Shin'en is almost certainly FAST Racing League 2, not F Zero. Over the last two years they've been updating/following up their Wiiware games, and FAST is next in line. That's what their tweet was referring to, I'd bet money on it. Shin'en are a four man studio, as talented as they are, they don't have the manpower for something like F Zero.

While everything points to a new Prime at this point, I really can't help but be disappointed it's not F-Zero or Star Fox. I was already sick of the series well before I even completed 2. I didn't even finish 3 at all.

Oh well, the graphics will certainly be something at least.
