Forums - Nintendo - *Rumor* Retro studios working on zelda for the wii

dsister44 on 28 May 2009

If there’s one thing Zelda fans know at this point, it is that a game in the series is in development for the Wii. However, according to speculation from IGN, Retro Studios was working on an entirely new Zelda title at one point. More than a year ago, the company apparently was doing the next Zelda or something big with it. Though, for one reason or another, they stopped development on the title. The rumor was circulating the internet for a bit, but IGN was confident in their sources to the point where it was almost posted on the site. In the latest Nintendo Voice Chat podcast, the IGN Nintendo Team did state that Retro Studios is, again, no longer busy with the rumored game.

And presumably the Zelda team is making a Metroid game?

If this is true, wouldn't it be the first console Zelda developed by a third party?



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

Retro Studios is owned by Nintendo, thus they are first party.

Well, if Nintendo thinks that both franchises need a fresh perspective, it makes a certain kind of sense.

But I'm not sure if I believe such a rumour.

Retro isn't third party, it's 1st party.
