Yeah, I would really like to see Retro take on a new IP, a HD Metroid, or some other project that has them pushing the graphical envelope again. The Prime games were some of the best looking on their respective hardware, at 60fps to boot.

Yeah. Also, if they do a new Metroid Prime, they need to get whoever did the creature designs for Xenoblade Chronicles X on board. Really think a lot of the insectoid ones especially would fit right in with Metroid.

Yeah, I wouldn't mind seeing Monolith themselves handle a Metroid game actually, they're really good at creating that sense of place and atmosphere so crucial to the series.

Back in 2002, EGM said something like "It's like the best game from 10 years from now got sent back in time and was released today". They were right. MP was and is legendary.

Diddy Kong Racing 2 on the NS will look so amazing!

Hopefully it does! DKR is such an amazing game!

I was kinda joking, but I actually wouldn't mind if Retro would somehow manage to work on both DKR2 and something else!

People are dumb. In some ways, the GameCube was the most powerful console of its gen.

It was behind the Xbox but it crapped all over the PS2. Hilarious how so many remember it the other way round. Shows the power of propaganda really :P

Only the uninformed think so. ;)

Games like Prime 1/2, Rogue Squadron 2/3, and Resident Evil 4 show the Gamecube had incredible power under its hood for the day.
