Let Platinum Games have a shot at Starfox. Grezzo should be working on Majora's Mask 3D. Next Level Games (the guys behind Luigi's Mansion) should be working on a Kid Icarus game for Wii U.
And Retro Studios?
They should be working on Metroid.
And Miyamoto?
Hopefully the Super Mario 3D World team is helping him with his new IP.
I always assume Treasure would be a great developer for KI.

Fine. Being having a low-appearance around here lately.
I'm going to assume that Retro is making a Metroid game at the moment..... It can't be F-Zero because inorder for that to work, they need to convince Nintendo for that. It can't be Starfox because Nintendo may not like the idea of it. It has to be Metroid.
To be honest, with the pattern of Retro's work, I honestly think they're reviving another series.
Think about it: Retro revives Metroid with the Prime series (awesomeness); Retro revives the DKC series (more awesomeness); Retro revives [insert Wii U revival of an older series].
Mario Kart 7 wasn't a revival.
Mario Kart 7 also wasn't a Retro Studios project. They helped out with it, most likely since the 3DS needed titles out ASAP, but it is definitely not counted as a Retro Studios game.
I think Platinum would be beter at F-Zero and Retro would be better for Star Fox, that said I have no problem for developers to get out of their comfort zone and wouldn't mind seeing it reversedor something ddifferent all together lol
People keep saying the Xbox One doesn't have Backwards Compatibility.
I don't think they know what Backwards Compatibility means...
Would be funny if they made a game called Retro Party, a mini-game collection not based on anything that still exists. Maybe retro, as in the theme is 70's and 80's or even 90's style of things.
It would be a new IP, but nobody would ever claim it so. Then the real hate would begin, and everybody said they should have revived something rather than do this.
okI don't have anything specific to do until thursday anyway
goodbyes are a sad part of life but for every end there's a new beggining so one must never stop looking forward to the next dawn

I don't know Platinum games are really zany not sure if they can tone that down enough to make a proper F-Zero or Star Fox game.
To be honest, I'm really hoping Retro is doing a brand new IP that they alone are in charge of. Don't get me wrong, I love what they have done with Donkey Kong and Metroid, but a development house this talented should be allowed to do their own IPs, rather than simply working on old IPs that Nintendo hands them.
One of the great things about the old Rare was that alongside their efforts with Donkey Kong, they also worked on their own IPs like Killer Instinct, Perfect Dark, Jet Force Gemini, Banjo Kazooie, and Conker.
Imagine the awesome games Retro could come up with if they worked on a brand new IP that's not tied to an existing Nintendo franchise. Maybe Retro could give Nintendo their own first-party FPS game, or maybe something that might make the Wii U appeal to Western Gamers even more. Rather than hoping they work on a new F-Zero or Star Fox, I say let them showcase their talent with their own IP that they create.
As much as I want to see a new F-Zero or Star Fox, I would rather see Retro start making their own IPs and further diversifying Nintendo's lineup of games.
Imagine Retro making a FPS, Western RPG, Action Game, or something else that is Nintendo published. Given their talent, it would turn heads, and might bring back lapsed fans who are tired of Nintendo's standard offerings, and might make other system fanboys quiet down when they see that Nintendo can publish games that appeal to western tastes and aren't Mario and Zelda.
Retro is the only western second-party that Nintendo has. I'm all for letting them showoff the talent that they have gained by working on Nintendo's IPs, and the result could be a major advantage for the Wii U if they can make that one game that appeals to people who are tired of Mario and Zelda.
Rare did it back on the N64. In fact, it could be argued that Rare played a larger role in saving the N64, than Nintendo themselves did, and much of their output were their own IPs.
