Yeah I find it hard to believe that there's absolutely nothing salvageable, even if it's just pre-production. Though I don't think that'll make too much difference to the dev time, holiday 2021 seems like the absolute earliest, but even that's pretty unrealistic.
Well, it's hard to say, but I still think sylux will be a focus.
I'm thinking new engine, that kind of stuff. Surely there's a ton of pre-production that will be kept on file.
I also believe in a Direct for next week.
Even if this info has been received very well by fans, Nintendo don't want to let a "bad news" be the last news they got for too long.
Also, the Smash 2.0 is coming "within the next week"... Might be nothing, but right now given the timing, I would say it'll be shadow dropped after the direct, with Pirahna Plant.

Definitely a bummer, hopefully the have some good 2019 announcements coming soon to make up for that blow. I really do think the MP4 situation highlights why Nintendo's increasing reliance on outside developers, particularly large ones like Bamco, is not ideal. The loss of control, steady output and team growth, etc., is all lost in these situations, and they were not even getting Bamco's A-team for their trouble, they were getting a C-team. Hopefully Nintendo looks to buy/create new studios in the future, and builds up their existing studios like Retro, to avoid this kind of thing.
Probably, although I'm not sure how much of the actual asset work, etc., they would be able to get from Bamco. Depends on how that contract was structured.

Zelda delay video was uploaded on 3.27.15 which is friday. and General Direct was uploaded on 4.1.15 (wed)
Metroid Prime 4 delay video was uploaded on friday. and.. you know what I want to say. Investor meeting is thursday.. so direct happening on next wednesday?
I thought Nintendo doesn't always have to do direct before investors meeting,
but, in this case, just releasing MP4 delay video and after that, hold investors meeting directly?
wouldn't it be much better to do direct before meeting to calm down investors?

In my opinion, almost a certainty that there's a Direct in the next week or two.
I will join in... TURN BASED PAPER MARIO RPG
I dont think there will be Direct on Wednesday, i think on Thursday because in Japan and Europe that will be in timezone of February 1st and investors q and a is on Friday 1st of February.
these last couple of months since Game Awards have been pretty disappointed.
First, Prime Trilogy was a no-show, then that "fake" or yet to be proved true Persona 5 port, then the lack of games for Q1 2019 (cy) including the lack of a Direct and now these.
oh well... as a nintendo fan, I'm used to it, but that still sucks.

This week: Metroid 4 dev restarted...
Next week: ...but don't fret, cuz here's the Metroid Prime trilogy to tide you over! Oh yeah, also here's Star Fox Grand Prix. You might've heard of it.
Before that i think they will work on Three Houses DLCs for a while.
And I'm still curious about what's going on with Labo 4. Clearly retailers expect to be selling it soonish, which I assume is how you heard about it. I guess the question is how soon.
They can do DLC while other people work on something else. Paper Mario leads for instance have nothing to do with Fire Emblem, Paper Mario's probably right now pretty far into dev imo, I expect it for 2020. No need for a full team to create a bunch of maps for Fire Emblem. But I do expect a lot of DLCs for Three Houses, you are right.
Nobody is talking about dlc. Intelligent Systems is a big company that works on multiple games.
Sure but Fire Emblem has been their main focus for a while now.
Other projects i wouldn't expect something big, maybe a new Pushmo, or a new Paper Mario but still casual as Color Splash.
Yep. This was the big takeaway for me. Star Fox must be great. Retro is great. All is great. I hope Retro has steadied the ship now and won't have anymore development troubles.
I'm not worried about Paper Mario. Tanabe has been busy with Metroid. I wonder if he's still the producer for Paper Mario or they got someone new.
This is very interesting if true. It sounds like they probably have a ton of assets and concepts they can reuse but they want to put it all together with one studio rather than multiple. Plus Retro having a demo put together seems to suggest this isn't literally going to be starting from scratch. I could see it being closer to 3 years away than 4.
^ came to post that
Interesting that Retro approached Nintendo with a demo and it was enough to win them over.

The original post said what IS has after Fire Emblem since they pump games. FE is this year. It's completely reasonable to expect Paper Mario in 2020. That's 4 years after Color Splash.
Oh. Interesting! That fills me with more confidence than before.
Looks like I missed most of the carnival of stupid and came back just in time to see this.
Retro have to PITCH?
doesn't it have to be something like "hey you fu*kers, I'll show you what Metroid Prime has to be like"
Just Kidding.
Nintendo please grow your studios more. You need more internal manpower so you're not searching for outsiders to do it. Don't quote me about how they can let external people here and there do it. You run into problems like this.
They need to add a couple more internal studios who can handle the workload of their own IP's. This should've been done since the Wii. Open another 2 western studios or something
Retro showing Nintendo how it's done still. Screw those people who keep talking about "but Metroid Prime people left". They don't know anything. Retro is and will always be a great studio. DKC already proved this.
Yep I believe MP4 by Retro could surpass the original trilogy.
Oh this aint my first rodeo, i was around during the great wii u droughts. I guess i was just optomistic that with switch being a portable/home console and there recent pretty great output of games we'd get more. Not knowing what the first half of this year looks like outside of yoshi kinda sucks
Please be true, that gives me hope Retro still has a vision for Metroid Prime.
I'm...honestly gobsmacked.
but I'm trying to be positive, Retro will do an incredible job with the game.

Talented new development team: Things are not going wellRetro:
Retro: Hold my beer
FFVIIR would be a far better comparison since Square had an external studio(CC2) developing the game but remove them and shift the development to their internal studios.
In addition to a Paper Mario, I wouldn't be surprised to see another Fire Emblem remake before the next mainline entry, turning the 'Echoes' moniker into a series that alternates similarly to Pokémon.
