Nintendo To Reveal Retro's New Wii U Game "In The Not So Distant Future"

OH GOD YES! I CAN'T WAIT!

Love RETRO Studios

I would be more than ok with Retro working on Metroid, Star Fox or even (unlikley at best) a new F Zero. Though given the job they did last time I think I'd rather Sega got another go at that one.
I really don't think they're going to have been given Zelda, though i'd be happy to be proven wrong!

2D metroid please

Considering Metroid Prime 3 left room for a sequel in its ending, I wouldn't be surprised if it was the next entry in the Prime series.

God Metroid Prime on Wii U would look amazing.

maybe a new ip all together?

@Squiggle55
Already confirmed not to be Zelda Apparently they were "too busy to work on a Zelda title".

@Grumpalo
Wouldn't it be better for some other company than RETRO to work on a game like that? Would seem like somewhat of a waste to make a 2D platformer with game designers from Vigil, Crytek and Naughty Dog joining in IMO.

All of those are companies known for great/amazing looking 3D titles.

I'm getting goosebumps just thinking about it!

A new Metroid would force me to buy the system!!

eternal darkness 2!!!!! please please please!

Love Retro Studios, can't wait to hear the announcement!

I was hoping they were saying when they were going to announce something. Oh well.

Oooooh I hope it's something really good...

PLEASE BE STAR FOX. Even though I think Metroid Prime should just stay a Trilogy, making a 4th Prime would be a pretty good way to make up for Other: M. I still rather have Star Fox, though.

I'm really looking forward to the reveal. I actually hope it's a new IP, but I'm not expecting that.

So do we think they'll reveal it before E3?

He said "future" so it must be Metriod. Confirmed

Considering how much expansion they've given the series through their Prime games, I would like to see where they would go to next with the Metroid Series. If not that, I want to see how they handle a new IP of their own instead of having their creativity regulated towards already established franchises.

hope its metroid because wii u needs a flagship FPS! imagine playing metroid online battles ! man the possibilities are endless for that universe!

@HeatBombastic But I liked Other M!!!

Their stuff is always impressive, so whatever they do it'll be a great and much needed addition to the WiiU library.

Metroid 5.

Really, really, really, hoping it's Prime 4.

Booyah! I can't wait!

Please be a new F-Zero game! WE HAVENT SEEN ONE IN YEEAAARRRRSS.

Or a new Starfox game thats similar to assault. But with the on ground levels toned down, but keep it in the game.

@TheArabSamurai NOOO nothing like Assault! No offence meant, but nothing like that game!

I guess I'd be okay with a new StarFox if they didn't mess it up like Assault or Command...(I liked Adventures a lot actually)

On the other hand, those two make me want there to not be another one. But yes, a new F-Zero would be welcome!

Please be metroid. pleasepleasepleaseplease!!!

It's the new Mario Party for 3DS.

F-Zero. Online. 30 cars. Oh, and lag-free.

I would love to see all of the above but if I choose one it will always be prime. God it would be amazing please make it happen

Could they be porting GTA V to the Wii U?

@WaveBoy: You know you want dat StarTropics 3! Just imagine the StarTropics world on the Wii U. It would be a Waveboy paradise! Anyway, you hooked up your Wii U yet?

If I'm lucky, a new IP. No guns. No Sci-Fi.

Why does it have to be Prime? That should stay a trilogy IMO.

I'd rather have them continue on Hunters, adding multiplayer to the FPS Metroid games. They could make a new Metroid trilogy from there with its own story and characters.

If only there was some kind of Expo for Electronic Entertainment that they could present these games at. Oh well...

Metroid Prime is one of the greatest games I've ever played.
BUT I really hope Retro isn't working on another Prime game.
Take another classic franchise and flip the conventions around, like Sakurai did with Kid Icarus. I just want to be surprised and intrigued: A Prime 4 would be like, "Oh, okay, I know what this will be."

Please be Eternal Darkness 2.

I hope its Metroid or a new IP. I dont really want retro working on something like f-zero. SEGA or Nintendo should do that. Wii U needs a metroid game, or something totally new and exciting to get people excited. Mario and Smash Bros will help, but i think people want to see some fresh ideas aimed at an audience that likes more mature titles. ZombiU tried to do that, but it ended up being a bit too divisive. So thats what i'd like to see... Whatever it is, retro makes good games, so i cant wait to play it.

F-ZEROOOOOOOOOOO!!! A direct sequel to GX. IT WILL BE THE BEST GAME EVER!!! (unless Sega is working on it like they did GX).
Sorry, gotta use caps lock, since F-Zero needs more love. It´s been nine years since the last one.

A new IP would be great to see from them. Unless Sega is working on F-Zero, I want Retro Studios to handle that.

Maybe with Retro's recent platforming experience with DKC Returns, we will get a proper 2D/3D Metroid =D. Other M....I want to forget.

@Luffymcduck @DrVollKornBrot These. Unless it's a new IP, I definitely want to see F-Zero get some love. The online would be crazy as hell with all of those racers!

I hope it´s nothing in 2d.. I like to see open 3d-worlds now on my Wii U

I really hope it is a new Star Fox entry, but anything from them will be solid! F-Zero, a new IP, Metroid!... I don't think they are doing a new Zelda, but I could be wrong.

@Five-seveN Assault was a better STAR FOX game than Adventures. Why not have it like Star Fox Assault, it would've been perfect if the ground battles were a little better.

@Five-seveN Other: M isn't as bad as some people say, but the execution of the narrative was so poor that it can't even buy a chocolate bar.

@Luffymcduck Sega did say they were working on a Wii U game. Unless they were talking about multi-plats or Beyonetta.

@HeatBombastic You do realize posts can hold more than one response? Haha.

I really hope they're rebooting Metroid Prime, but not under the same name since the trilogy is over, and the team leaders who made it have left the company. The GamePad can bring some tremondous benefits to this series, and there would also be the ability to play either with the Nunchuck or the dual sticks so that newcomers from the PS360 would not be lost having to play with the Wiimote+Nunchuck combo. Again, to catch those future customers, the dark atmosphere of Metroid is I believe the best opportunity and is the closest a reknown Nintendo franchise is to major FPS of PS360 fans. What's more, given how impressive the graphics of Trilogy are on Wii U, the high-end graphics of a new 3D Metroid on Wii U would establish the Wii U to be next-gen, as I could guarantee it to be on par with PS4/NextBox launch titles in terms of graphics.

Anyway, they know what they're doing.

@HeatBombastic Opinions I guess. To me at least, Adventures is way better than Assault. A few big problems I have with Assault are that it's so short, has graphics nowhere near as good as Adventures, awful voice acting (Falco's about the only one that didn't irritate me), awkward ground controls/boring ground missions, and in my opinion, not a very good story line. Overall, I give it a 3/10, but that's just my opinion remember! One thing it does have is a pretty good soundtrack though. Adventures had boring, unvaried combat and not a terribly great story line either, but I at least enjoyed the gameplay MUCH more than Assault...And I rather like Other M's narrative.

Don't get me started on SF Command.

I'm really eager to see what Retro is working on! I'm counting down the days until it is revealed.

Here's hoping it's not Metroid!

Whatever they're working on I'm sure they will do a fantastic job like they've always done. I'm really hoping it's a new F-Zero though, really hoping, but if not I'm sure it will still be awesome.

Guys, SEGA has no more racing team. They're not making an F-Zero.

I bet they'll reveal whatever it is during one of the E3 Directs.

I'd love to see another Starfox game or something entirily new!
Which way I expect nothing less than spectacular from Retro!

@LDXD Same here! More Metroid please!

A metro if or a starfox...never played the wii versions but I'll pick those up for sure

@Chriiis
Everyone who supports F-Zero is my friend.

Knowing Retro, its probably going to end up being the best looking game on the Wii U.

There is absolutely no way Nintendo would let a 3rd party developer touch The Legend of Zelda or Super Mario Bros. Those are the only two remaining IP's that are still developed first party. Almost all of Nintendo's IP's have been thrown out to 3rd party developers. I'm willing to bet that it is Star Fox U. It's been far too long and Star Fox U would act as a great introduction to the use of the game pad for newcomers.

@THIZZLERS209 There is no Star Fox Wii.

NEED ANOTHER METROID

@Onett
Capcom has already developed two Zelda titles. So third party developed first party games aren't unlikely.

Also, RETRO Studios is a first Nintendo party studio.

I hope that it is a Star Fox or F-Zero game because even though I would like a new Metroid the other two have been absent from new game lineups for longer.

My guess is Mario Kart U.

My hope is F-Zero U!!!! I would take StarFox U also

Yea Retro Studios isn't 3rd party, and Robb already pointed out that Zelda has been developed by a 3rd party before. And I dunno about the "Bros" games, but Mario has been handled by other developers before too, plenty of times. (heck, even back in the SNES days, a 3rd party developer made a Mario game, and an awesome one at that)

@19Robb92 I can't believe I didn't realize that Retro was a subsidiary of Nintendo. Either way, I can't imagine Retro making another Mario game after the large amount of Mario games we've seen in recent months. The only time Capcom got together with Nintendo to 'officially' work on a Zelda title was for Minish Cap & Four Swords which was around 2004. Does anybody know if they got together for another project since?

@Onett
It's easy to forget, its the same thing with Monolith Soft.

And I agree. I doubt it's Mario, I'm pretty sure Iwata even said that their EAD Team behind 3D Land and Galaxy 1/2 is working on the next Mario title. We also know it's not Zelda, since Miyamoto confirmed that. I'm really curios!

I'd have to say they're working on a Starfox game. It'd suit with what Retro has done and it is in some ways closer to Metroid than F-Zero in that it is a type of shooter. Though F-Zero is a racer; an equally stereotypical 'murican genre.
My hopes are for a new F-Zero! Retro + F-Zero would be a killer combination!

It's not Metroid. It's probably Starfox. Samus has had more games than both of those series combined, which is more reason to give it a break.

By both series, I mean F-Zero and Starfox.

If its Metroid ill buy a wii u.

I'm pretty sure we can rule out F-Zero based on what Miyamoto said recently.

@Onett I don't think they have since then, but before that Capcom also made the Oracle games.

Star Fox or Metroid. You can't go wrong with either one! Seeing them in HD is so exciting.

Yeah I don't think it will be Zelda or Mario Game as they like to keep them at at home in Japan. Starfox and F-Zero were sadly missing last generation but a true 3D DK platformer has not been seen since N64. I don't know what will happen with Eternal Darkness 2 as Silicon Knights was supposedly working on it before they got their pants sued off by Epic games. I for one loved Starfox adventures and never really dug the shooter games much. Honestly Metroid would probably bring the most bang for the buck with system sales and the gamepad could be used as an active scanner which was a big part of the prime mechanics.

I Hope its a sequel to DK64.

Not so distant future? That could be as little as a couple of weeks, or as much as a year, going off of Nintendo's history. I would think it would be in their best interests to have this thing playable at E3, considering the sad state of the Wii U at the moment. I wouldn't mind an HD sequel to DKCR, but it's my greatest hope that they are working on a sidescrolling Metroid 5.

It's not a Donkey Kong or Metroid game guys. They said they were taking a break from those games. Don't ask me for a link either(annoying), I read it in Nintendo Power in terms of Metroid years ago after they completed Prime 3, and they confirmed themselves that it wasn't DK just recently.
It's most likely Starfox. I just hate hearing wishes that it will be Metroid or DK when they've already stated it wasn't.

@Scar32 sorry i did not heard about that.

Hopefully not another FPS Metroid. The franchise needs a new sidescrolling entry or else I'll just abandon it.

@baba_944
It's ok. Honestly, I've been hearing, "I hope it's Metroid/DK" for months, but we've also had info that tells us it's not those games from Retro themselves. Doesn't matter I guess, but I know for a fact it's not those games just from paying attention.

YYYEEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BRING.... ON.... THE.... NEWWWWSSSSS!

@Yellowgerbil you an me both, hell i only bought the wii-u at launch for over £350 after hearing retrp had a secret project. i was hoping an praying that it would be a new metroid prime game, lord knows the wii-u needs a flagship fps game which pushes the systems hardware, an shows all the doubters that the wii-u can de;liver a true hd experience! the game pad would be awesome for it, i can think of no better developer to make a game which pushes the wii-u gpgpu an blows everyone away

@Raylax Lol. I love you.

As much as I love the Metroid Prime games, I'd much rather see a new F-Zero or Starfox game made by the talented Retro Studios team.

@SCAR392
Could very well be a Metroid game. Back in 09 they said they were done with the Metroid franchise but also that they may eventually return to Metroid. Since that was 4 years ago, they could have picked up the franchise again.

Metroid Prime Hunters: Second Hunt. I see it now.

@19Robb92
No offense, but that's one of the worst links I've ever seen.
They want to do new stuff. They've sais that. Anyone that actually likes Nintendo knows that they need to give Metroid a rest for while. Starfox and F-Zero have been very neglected, and a true Nintendo fan would choose either of those 2 over a new Metroid as things currently stand.

@SCAR392
Why in the world would the link matter? It's the quote that's of interest.

Also, I know loads people that love Nintendo who wants RETRO back in charge of that franchise.

It better be a new Metroid or Starfox. If not...well lets see.

I expect it to be an already existing Nintendo franchise instead of a new IP.*sigh*Such wasted talent...

I just realized, it could be Eternal Darkness!

@19Robb92
The link is what led me to the quote.
My point is, is that most of the people asking for Retro to make another Metroid don't even like the Wii U in its current standing.
It would make more sense if people were asking for a new Starfox or F-Zero, because we've already had tons of Metroid.

Dad, I am excite!

@TwilightV That`s funny!(Seriously though,Nintendo. Come up with something new or give us a beloved franchise back)!

@PokeTune: And what's so funny about it? There's evidence to support my theory.

@Big_L91 What i want as well!

Who said that Retro's project is only ONE game....it could be many!

Who said that Retro's project is only ONE game....it could be many!

Honestly, whatever it is, I'm excited for it. They seem to have a great way of combining nostalgia with new ideas so the games feel familiar and fresh at the same time. I just hope it releases soon. That would be a nice surprise boost for the Wii U

metroid u!!! 2D sidescrolling. i can imagine metroi in full hd, map on your gamepad and weapon select also.. trine2 give me that 2d love back and that game looks amazing!

If I find out that it's ETERNAL DARKNESS 2. I will have to immediately change my shorts. Let it be so!

I want Eternal Darkness 2 Starfox or another IP ressurection

OF TO GO PUNCH OUT

Yay!

Ummmm, that sounds suspicious, I think it will be metroid, star fox or even donkey kong country returns 2, but I think it will be on both systems, wii u and 3ds. Maybe that's why they will launch dkcr 3d in a month, to indirectly connect with dkcr 2 for extra features or something.....

i think its a new IP for some reason or some twist on something we havent seen yet =|

They fooled us all!
It has been a new Ice Climber game the whole time!

If it's a new IP, i hope it works better than...all their other attempts (all of which were cancelled before Metroid Prime)

Its a new metroid u series. Thats their baby. If that is the case then it makes the wii u a buy for me.

When I see the release lineup for the wii u and see no titles I realize where nintendo starts to fail. Guys like Retro should be at the forefront and nintendo should give them the fire power to work on many different titles at the same time. Their efforts and funding should be placed on getting their most talented developers pushing out games gamers want to play specially if 3rd party titles are playing hard to get. Retro certainly fits the bill on all accounts and I think they may be important players in making the wii u attractive for consumers.

Staaaaaarfoooooox!

@Azikira O Really?

Metroid Prime 4 or some re-invention of a deep single player franchise, please. No Star Fox or F-Zero; any other studio could handle that. In fact, lend the Star Fox license to Treasure and the F-Zero license to Sega or Shin'en.

everyone relax, its mother 4

as much as i like metroid, i really hope for a new starfox game. been wanting to play one so bad after Starfox Assault.

I really want it to be Star Fox. I'm tried of metroid.

Ice climbers...you heard it here first

Next Sunday, A.D.?

I think we see it at the next Wii u Direct, maybe a few days before E3?!

You will be very happy when you find out what the game is, and you will be even more excited when you see it.

Also, will the next Sega & Nintendo colaboration be an HD collection of Shenmue 1 & 2 before desired Shenmue 3? I don't know, we shall see. I'm glad we will be able to continue game saves from 1 through 3 on that note, of course if this is true about project Dragon & project Phoenix.

What would be the reason for Nintendo and T-Mobile to meet?
