They have? No one told me this before, where did you hear it?I hope it's Kid Icarus since they've expressed interest in it before, and because Sakurai doesn't seem to have an interest in doing another one
It was a failed pitch to Nintendo according to Unseen64.They have? No one told me this before, where did you hear it?
I need to know for, uh, science.
They got SEVERAL pitches during that time frame?!
At this point I don't really care about Retro. It's been far too long since their last good game (Echoes). The Retro from that time is different from the Retro today. (see Rare for reality check)
I worry about Retro lately. Could they be in development hell? Studio hell?
They absolutely must show what they've got going by E3 2018 or something's seriously wrong over there.
That's reading a bit too much into it. We know that around 2014 Nintendo shifted virtually all internal resources onto Switch. They can easily reveal their game in early 2018 and release it the same year. We didn't hear anything from the main 3D Mario team between 2013 and 2017 but we are playing Mario Odyssey right now.
I think they are probably working on a 3D DK game that will be the Metroid Prime equivalent for that franchise.
I don't disagree with this, but it's not really a comparable situation when they've been dead silent since Tropical Freeze's launch, not to mention that game massively underperformed saleswise (and shockingly even critically...somehow). I dont think Nintendo was quite so silent about Mario. We definitely heard some things even before that first footage of Odyssey was shown. Have we heard even a single peep from Retro beyond insanely cryptic tweets that only confirm their doors are still open?
I'm not trying to be all doom and gloom and figure they'll show something by E3, my point is if they DON'T have something ready for E3 then I'll be concerned.
My impossible dreams want them to work on a Turok revival. Or F-Zero. Or an amazing FPS.
After how incredible Odyssey is, I'd also gladly take a 3D DK game.
Basically, I'll take anything lol.
They haven't done anything notable since 2009 with the Prime Trilogy imo (which was only a compilation), so its New IP or gtfo.... Literally. They need to get that 'RARE treatment' if they don't bring it this time.
Could they possibly be working on two games? Miyamoto mentioned that they were certainly big enough to make two full-fledged projects at once.
setting my hopes on a revival of the ravenblade project and a return of F-Zero.
The 4 year thing could easily be because they had to move their project from Wii U to Switch or it might be Nintendo just wanting to space their announcements/game releases to keep the Switch momentum going. Nintendo is no stranger to doing that with already finished games
Preach it! DK2 was my favorite and I think the The Kremlings returning would be a great move.I hope its another DK game , man I wish they would bring back the Kremlings....
Plus Nintendo not announcing games (bar Zelda) until shortly before launch.Man reading this topic ,ive realised that some Retro Fans seem to be whiny and impatient .
Development takes time basically and taking 4 years to develop a game is not unheard of ,coupled with development difficulty and whatnot .
Whatever the game is ,im sure its gonna be a great one due to thier past Pedigree
Diddy Kong Racing 2 would be flawed because it wouldnt have TipTup.
Shame most of the Diddy Kong Racing cast is stuck over at Microsoft.
ok so white text is a really bad idea for mobile/regular themeWhatever they're working on, it must be good to justify all the silence. Hopefully they've just been too "busy" to talk (which I'm sure doesn't make much sense, but let me believe).
I'd love for them to make the next 2D Mario game.
Nintendo's own efforts at 2D Mario with the "New" series are a bit mediocre (by their own high standards). Retro have shown they're the masters of platformers.
I hope they're not making Metroid Prime 4, their talents are wasted on such a series.
AgreedPlus Nintendo not announcing games (bar Zelda) until shortly before launch.
I'd be happy with another 2D DKC, but if they want to evolve the series I'd be interested in seeing them develop Donkey Kong 3D Country.
I'm sorry but the studio is MIA for almost 4 years now. That's uncalled for. You make it look like it's a common thing when it's not.
