Reggie: Retro's Hard at Work, Won't Say More

Ooh, exciting!

That's the one thing we all wanted to know. If they had announced that it might have been a real great E3! o_O

Good now everybody can shut up.

Well that's a kick in my precious crown jewels. Ah well, whatever they're making it must be something amazing... every game they've brought out so far has been outstanding so I've got high hopes.

I still think it was a mistake not to reveal it, not matter if it will take more than a year for release. we needed to get hyped, THEY (the critisc) needed to get something thrown. Pimkin 3 and Mario U aint enough, sorry.

@NintyFan Funny that you said that considering how long it took Kid Icarus to come out after E3 2010!

I knew they were working on something. We all knew. I just wish they could show us something soon, but oh well. Guess I'll just wait until next year.

Wow, this truely was a terribly dissappointing E3. With the exception of Pikmin 3 I can't say that I'm excited by anything that I've seen or heard reported. Even an announcement from Retro would have provided a little reassurance. Anything!

Usually the longer a developer works on a game, the more fantastic it will be. Retro can take all the time they need.

@PixelatedPixie: exactly, reassurance is the word! we all wanted that, the critics needed that, but it didnt come! if you know at least that a title is in development you can feel assured. this is just hanging in the air and N wanting to us to trust them. But frankly, after Wii and after the WiiU presentation, I dont thinik I do. And I will not part with my money so easily this time around.

Can't wait for E3 2013.............

Its probably another "casual" game but of the highest quality that is a collection of mini games that include dancing like a goof, karaoking like an American Idol wannabe, playing some cheap plastic instruments, fashion tips, and a tutorial on how to improve your home.

See? They want to make the game great, so it must be a major entry in a series of some sort (Starfox maybe?) Now stop whing over E3 being ruined.

That's Nintendo for you Making us wait until the next E3 to either disappoint us or surprise and hype us with a new first party game. Hopefully Retro is working on a new Star Fox because we're long overdue for one IMO.

Zelda PLZ!!

This sounds a lot like Zelda to me...

I miss the days of tech demo's and show reels. Anyone remember the reels they showed before N64 or Gamecube where announced? Gawd, the good old days, I dont get why Nintendo is so tightlipped these days...

The only way this surprise will be good is only if the game isn't a cheap knock-off or some stupid kids game. But, either way, i'm excited

Nintendo really needed a big game franchise announcement that would have blown us all away. DKCR was a fair while ago. Unless Retro are working on a Zelda game which will need a few years in development, I don't think any other franchise that Retro would be working on couldn't have been announced and shown. There are some excellent games coming for the WiiU at launch and shortly thereafter, but without a 3D Mario, Zelda, Starfox, Metroid, Fzero, Smash Bros game announced or shown, it was very underwhelming.

I hope they are working on 3 projects for Wii U.

1. StarFox (heavy emphasis on aerial/space battles and huge fleets)
2. Metroid (3rd person with lots of 1st person elements)
3. Zelda HD with Miyamoto (seperate from Aonuma's Zelda HD)

Why not show a glimpse of what they are working on, that would have made the E3 conference 5 times better than what it turned out to be.

I can only imagine what they might do with Zelda.

Retro never disappointed me. Whatever they are cooking will surely be well done

retro have always been great so far- i predict either metroid or even a lesser known nintendo franchise that we haven't seen for ages being brought back.

a bit like project sora with kid icarus: uprising.

So most likely not going to be anything interesting at the 3DS conference tonight. Hope not anyways.
So excited to hear Retro really is dong something right now. Can't wait to find out what it is.

E3 2013..the new 2010.

**********
TOO LONG OF A WAIT

ign is actually useful for once.

I hope they announce it when there are only a few months before release. As soon as they say what they are working on, the hype and the wait will be unbearable, so the shorter that time is the better.

Well, it is good to know that Retro is working on something huge for Nintendo. I'm sure that it will be something that we will all be excited about. I can't wait to hear what it is.

I think it's smart to wait a while before announcing a game, usually gamers rage and complain all over the internet if a game is revealed, but it just started production. (Long wait time).
You know how NSMB2 was revealed really close to it's release date (relatively speaking), it has probably been being developed for a WHILE before it was announced.
Anyway to stay on topic, I WANT ME SOME DONKEY KONG PLATFORMING GOODNESS- in 3D!

Why´s everyone such a crybaby? The Conference was meh, but everything Nintendo announced, and may still announce in an hour, since Sunday has been very good. No big surprises, but I wasn´t expecting any this year

Ah well, hopefully we see it next year!

DKCR has only been out for a year and a half. It took way longer than (after MP3) last time. Maybe next year.

If Retro's involved, it has to be good.

E3 2013 is gonna rock! Just 364 days to go...

Now we just have to hope the world doesn't end for December 25, 2012 before the next E3.

Oh Reggie...

Retro is amazing I'm sure they're working on GOLD
But what is it? StarFox, Eternal Darkness, F-Zero, or IDK

This secrective attitude is going bite Nintendo in the ass very soon...
Would a trailer have to much to ask?!
Say what you will about Microsoft, at least they had trailers of new Gears & Forza to get series fans excited.
I'm getting tired of waiting, we waited a whole year already!

I'm thinking Nintendo's saving their big guns for Wii U for next E3 because of MS and Sony Next Gen consoles. It's just a thought.

The way I see it, we're all dissappointed because we didn't see any surprise software or hardware this year. But look at it this way: The reason why people see 2010 and 2011's Nintendo conferences as the best are because they had the 3DS and Wii U to reveal in those respective years. This year, we had no big hardware announcement, so most of it was just software that we already knew of. Already, there was a smaller chance for them to "Wow" us this year.

Next year, though, I predict that they'll showcase a new 3DS model. YOU HEARD IT FIRST FROM ME.

Lets just hope it isn't anything to do with mini-games,Dance OR Fitness.

My money is on Star Fox or F-Zero

Hoping for Star Fox.

I don't think it will be Zelda. Do you think Nintendo would trust a console Zelda to another company?

@koolbob1872 Yeah, i don't think they would, but i really think they should. Zelda needs some ocidental air...

@koolbob1872

Yes, they would if it was Retro Studios. Miyamoto has given them the big thumbs up for quality. But as it stands right now, I doubt Zelda is their next game. It will be a StarFox and or Metroid game before we see their Zelda.

I just hope we get to see a little healthy competition. Miyamoto/Retro Studios Zelda HD against Eiji Aonuma/Nintendos Zelda HD. Not released at the same time, but both being WiiU releases of course.

Anything coming from Retro Studio would be amazing. I just hope Nintendo let them create a new game for once but oh well a good game is still a good game.
