Having posted my video review of DKC:TF just yesterday, something occurred to me that I wanted to mention...

I sat through the credits, and watched them roll in their entirety.  This game had a rather small staff.  With Retro Studios being rumored to be closer to 100 employees, I can't help but think that this game was done with a smaller team, while the rest of the employees were either helping Nintendo with other projects, or are, in fact, developing another game silently.  Anyone else who watched the credits is welcome to chime in!  Do you think Retro Studios is working on another game or just assisting other Nintendo projects?

They're building Iron Man.

Maybe MK8?

Personally I hope that they are making something like this:

By the by, funny thing. Was on the one minute review of DKC TF today and saw a comment made by you. The world sure is small. :D

interesting, how many would you say did work on it? 50 people or so?


I have no doubt that they have been working on something ells besides DK:TF

btw did any of the people that used to work at noughty dog or THQ and others work on?

I would say helping on Mario Kart 8, but unlike 7, 8's had time for full gestation and then some (2.5 years after the rushed 7).

Part of me wants Metroid, part wants new IP. We'll just have to find out (might be a while, though...)

Mother 4.

With less glitches of course!

They're all hooked on Cookie Saga so about half of them didn't even contribute.

Also, from what I've heard, about 1/3 of the studio was working on game-play while the rest were on the dedicated fur-simulation team. Just wait till they get hold of Star Fox.

To be frank, it looked between 20-30...  I could just go watch it again and try to take an actual headcount (some names repeat, which is why it's hard to count, but why it also made it seem like a smaller staff when certain names come up several times).

I think they are working on a new project. At E3 they said they are definitely not working on another project. At VGX Reggie had this Metroid thing and the more important thing isn't that. They asked again if there is another project in development and the answer was that he can't talk about it. And of course there was this delay of TKC:TF so they had more time and could work on a new game. Maybe the first ideas started at or even before E3 and after that they started working on it. So maybe we will see something new or a new Metroid in mid/end 2015 in stores.
