Well, there has to be a new Metroid game incoming.

I get two things of this:

1. Their game is far, very very far from release, around 2016 at best
2. It's going to be new and not another DK, Metroid and MK game. Good, maybe even a new IP.

I hope is another DKC just to see your reaction.


Only if you want Nintendo to sell even less consoles.

Negative consoles. Insert the DK disc into your console and it disappears, replaced by money.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Nintendo will never let a Western studio develop their own IP from scratch again IMO. Next Level Games is probably working on Luigi's Mansion 3 and if EAD is bored of Mario Kart, Retro will probably get Mario Kart 9.

With the amount of oversight their studios tend to get from corporate, it would hardly be "their own" in that sense. An idea with input from the SPD groups that work with the other first-party studios would still have enough central control to be desirable while allowing for original thought.

I wish this kind of sorcery exists.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

If it's such a powerhouse, why did Tropical Freeze look like a Wii game in 720p?

I assume you played it extensively and not just watched the YouTube trailer.

They pushed the Wii U too hard.  Abused it.  Killed its best friend (Sega).  And now.....

Retro could be good at doing the next Zelda 3D.

If they do this game the same way they did Metroid Prime, good graphics and reinventing stuff with the collaboration of Nintendo for vital gameplay side, it could really be the next big Nintendo thing.

Has got to be Metroid.

New Metroid prime + new Zelda unveil = Win at E3.

 

If that is true and they show awesome gameplay for both then Sony and Microsoft might just have to pack up their shit and leave E3 because that would be way too much hype.


Nope new halo and uncharted 4 would blow those away


LOL

No, not at all.

"more than adequate" and "powerhouse" really don't associate well as concepts. Wii U might be more than adequate, unfortunately PS4 and Xb one are superior. People really should stop talking about Wii U's power. It was OK to promote the power when people were trying to claim that WIi U wasn't much more than PS360 in power. But now talking up Wii U's power when we have PS4 and Xb one on the market is just embarrassing. It's be like the US rugby team trying to talk themselves up to England and Australia. (New Zealand and South Africa are gaming PCs in this analogy.)
