Eurogamer: Leaks suggest Retro Studios making Star Fox racing spin-off (also heard by EG's sources)

? Nothing pointed to this being at E3, because it was never a 2018 game.
The very first trailer Nintendo showed was for a 2019 game.
Retro's games typically are announced at E3 with a release date for later that year. If this was a 2019 game (which insiders said it would be weeks/months ago) then it wasn't going to be at this E3, even if they did show other 2019 games.
If anything it would've been free advertising for their new game.
Where is Retro??? Something is wrong over there.
Bullshit. Prime 3 was announced in 2005 when Nintendo showed a behind closed doors demo for the recently announced Nintendo Revolution. That game came out in August 2007.
I think this is what's going on: Retro was working on four projects in the past 5 years. DKCTF Port, which released. Metroid Prime Trilogy HD, which is likely being timed to kick off the Prime 4 hype train. A game that seemingly didn't do so hot and could possibly be cancelled. And a Star Fox racing spin off. IMO, the game that might have been cancelled could have been a big blow, but I think them also spending time on two ports probably makes that blow seem bigger than it likely is. It's still very bad that we haven't seen a new game from them yet-but what we've heard makes some sense. It doesn't sound like a gigantic studio closing disaster, just a pretty big fuck up.
That and Prime 1 are the only games to have been announced and not released (or positioned to be released) in the same year. Their other 3 games were announced with a release date in the same year, which is why I said "typically".
People are really going to lose their minds if, after all that... five E3s..., if what they're been working on is a Star Fox racing spinoff. It'll be "fucking donkey kong" x1000000.
That he's had to protect his account because the usual manchildren are sending abuse because their game didn't show up in a conference
Nintendo is probably scared to show their game now, imagining another Federation Force backlash
Raven Software for Activision.
Warnes Bros Montreal.
Retro for Nintendo.
All 3 are the same kind of developer.
We need to admit it asap.

Oh, I thought maybe it was meant to imply that SFGP doesn't exist because it isn't at E3.
But I thought people only wanted to see games when they were close to release?
Maybe about as real as Pokemon Stars, that other Eurogamer leak.
(I believe it's real too)
It has been over 4.5 years since Retro finished their last game. They should have a game that is close to release.
Think he had to protect his account because he said to keep expectations low for Nintendo's E3 yesterday and the usual manchildren started sending abuse over that.
Retro is as good as any first party studio in the world. Metroid Prime 3 is their worst game. METROID PRIME 3!
For Nintendo it's an obvious NO.
It's not a secret that NoA and NoJ were facednin the pasta about Retro, i wonder if the situation is similar nowadays, biñut after seeing they helped with MK7 and 8 and are MIA since Tropical Freeze, seems like Retro is no longer relevant for Nintendo.
I think Nintendo intentionally leaks out stuff to drum up hype, and they have a list of outlets that they leak the real stuff too and a list of outlets to leak nonsense to to keep you guessing. And Eurogamer is the latter.
There is a ton of stuff that could have been talked about on the Nintendo end, but wasn't for some reason.
I don't get it.
I don't get it.
Me too. Nintendo just prefers to handle things differently. I never expected this game in 2018 and even then I don't think we have seen everything. Not shown in E3 means nothing imo. Also people should stop assuming too.much about retro, you have no idea what happens behind the curtains
Hmm. Matt was it good games us core fans would've like to hear about?
Yeah.
Guess they decided to double down on Smash and Pokémon for this year.
