Retro says it was tough choosing between Metroid and Donkey Kong, but “had unfinished business”

It sounds like Retro could have been in charge of the next Metroid game, had the company not decided to pursue the new Donkey Kong game for Wii U.

So, my dream of a 1080p 60fps metroid from retro is delayed.
That's all I got from this.

guitarded773985d ago

Pretty much... but we all know it will come eventually.

linkenski3985d ago

Don't think a new metroid would be 1080p on Wii U.

greenmeanie3985d ago

Exactly. Donkey Kong is cool and all, I am just not the biggest fan of all time. If they had done Metroid, day one for me no doubt!

Felinox3985d ago

Exactly. Kind of a face palm moment really.

ziratul3984d ago

DK Country Returns = 5 mil sales, They did not want to risk as their first Wii U release. Metroid is on the way late 2014 or 2015

3-4-53985d ago

Well now you know what game they are working on next.

Dj7FairyTail3985d ago

wait til the next Nintendo Direct for Wii U I am sure Nintendo will finally show it

Weve not long had a dk game which was great. Wish they had at least made it 3d instead of ANOTHER side scrolled. Ah well its Retro so itll still be incredible.

Mr_Nuts3985d ago (Edited 3985d ago )

I feel like Nintendo have a trend of side scroller after side scroller.

You have a good HD console...make some bloody amazing 3D games. It's 2013 man, thats the problem with Nintendo...tradition.

gamer423985d ago

Monolith X was one of the top games of E3 for me. That trailer looks amazing!

Mr_Nuts3985d ago

gamer42 - I kind of meant it towards Nintendo franchises like Mario and co

Mario - Most games so far are Side Scroller
Yoshi Yarn - Side Scroller
Kirbys Yarn for Wii - Side Scroller
Donkey Kong - Side Scroller

So much can be done with these franchises, they are all going to look and feel the same in the future.

mamotte3985d ago

Well, it's not like a ton of companies are doing 2d scroller recently. I find it kinda refreshing, in a world dominated by 3rd person games, and FPS.

thisisdallas3985d ago

I don't even...I can't image why...When Sony is showing off Killzone and Microsoft is showing off Titanfall Nintendo shows off DK? I know it will be an excellent game and I know I will love it but what happened to trying to cater to the core gamer? There isn't one decent Nintendo published FPS and I have absolutely no idea why.

ChickeyCantor3985d ago (Edited 3985d ago )

Nintendo also showed Monoliths game. But you only saw DK?

dark-hollow3985d ago

If DKCR anything to goes by, this game will be awesome for core and none alike.

Core doesn't necessarily means bravo alpha team shoot'em up.

MNGamer-N3985d ago (Edited 3985d ago )

DK IS for the core gamer. The previous installment for Wii was insanely difficult at times. I don't think you played it though did you?

n4f3985d ago

hey you wanna play killzone well buy a sony product. you wanna play titanfall well buy microsoft.
simple isn't it

CouldHaveYelledUiiW3984d ago

I agree with you- to a point.

Nintendo said that they wanted to cater to the "cORE"- It would have been great to see another "cORE" like title out there.

That being said DK made more $$$ for Retro than a Samus game ever did.
So, I understand the switch in priority.
(Although I loved Prime and have played everyone).

Personally,
I also have a concern with too many FPS's on the other consoles too- like Nintendo has so many Platformers.

Yeah that and DK Country Returns sold about 10 million copies.

They heard Killer Instinct was coming and momentarily thought the year was 1994.

Zelda Replay: Majora's Mask

VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Is Ocarina of Time as legendary as I remembered it? For the most part, yes. In spite of a handful of missteps — a few obtuse puzzles, some tedious backtracking, and a clunky stealth sequence — I don't believe the last 23 years have been unkind to it. Ocarina remains a brilliant example of the medium, a landmark game that shaped the future of its own franchise and 3D gaming in general. After more than two decades it retains its inventive dungeon design, challenging puzzles, dynamic combat, wistful storyline, unforgettable music, and empowering open-air freedom. I feel confident calling it one of the greatest games of the fifth generation, even if I'm no longer prepared to list it among the five best games ever made."

Pure unadulterated fun. They don't make them like this anymore...especially not the triple A industry.

FinalFantasyFanatic10d ago

Back when video rental was a thing, I rented out Majoria's Mask, I never finished it though. I did buy the 3DS version before the eshop shutdown, so maybe one day I'll finally play through the whole thing, it's amazing how well these games hold up though. I briefly played Ocarina of Time for a while and it was really fun.

Wii U games that still haven't been ported to Switch

The Nintendo Switch is potentially nearing its lifespan, and several Wii U games haven't found their way over as ports yet.

I think it's better to leave games like AC: Amiibo Festival and Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash forgotten on the Wii U. Best case, they are mediocre games; worse case, they are very bad. It was a dark time for the Wii U, and the first only exists to sell Amiibo cards, whereas the second was put together in a couple of months with a shoestring budget, and it shows.

The rest of the list does have some really cool games, though. I would love to see a remake of Star Fox Zero with decent controls, and Xenoblade X doesn't require that much modification to work.

Z50118d ago

How would XCX work without dual screens functionality?

Cacabunga18d ago

Same as Paper Mario color splash. One of the best wiiu games and getting even better with dual screen. Same reason why i prefer Splatoon 1

Profchaos18d ago

This article leaves out Nintendo's most controversial game to date devils Third.
I personally found the cover system really fun in that one compared to at the time most fps games completely lacking one.

Stevonidas18d ago

Devil's Third is HIGHLY underrated.

repsahj18d ago

They should remake Starfox to the switch 2. Very beautiful game during gamecube days.

Chocoburger18d ago

Kirby is always ignored or forgotten by people, so good to see it mentioned here.
Play Kirby Canvas Curse on DS, and then play Rainbow Curse on Wii U, they're really fun and unique 'platformers' without any actual jumping.
