Rumor: Retro Studios to announce new Wii project at E3

E3 is just around the corner, so it should be no surprise that rumors are beginning to surface regarding Nintendo-related announcements. The latest unconfirmed report is that information on Retro Studios' new title is coming soon (E3 being the most likely venue for such details.) However, there are some signs that may shed some validity on such an allegation. Nintendo's Mark Franklin confirmed a few weeks back that Nintendo is planning on revealing games for the core gamer at this year's E3. Of course, we all know that Retro Studios is a fairly hardcore company that has brought us the revered Metroid Prime series. In addition to this tidbit though, Retro has redesigned its company website, which has led many to believe that the company has changed it for an upcoming announcement.

Retro are going to deliver another outstanding game,Metroid Prime was such a great gameplay experience.

[ElementX]

Do you even own a Wii or 360? You always talk sh!t about anything that's not PS3

[Condoleezza Rice]

You didn't read the comment,did you?

Because that is,quite frankly,the only logical answer as to how you could come up with such a post.

[Smacktard]

Agreed. Landing on Tallon IV was one of my most favorite gaming experiences ever. Metroid Prime was amazing.

[ChickeyCantor]

Its not metroid, they wanna do something else.

[sneekstream]

A game buy retro will certainly have high hopes

[Silogon]

It's Kid Icarus, guys. It's 1st person too. I'd love to tell you how I know this but I could get into trouble from Linda at Wal mart.

[Intrepid]

I have complete faith that whatever Retro makes will be incredible. Metroid Prime is my favorite game of all time.

[TheColbertinator]

Its going to be a new IP in third person.Mark my words.Or dont,I dont care.

No Kid Icarus please, I didn't even like the original and I don't even see why people are making such a big fuss over it, I want them to do a dark mature shooter/adventure, Metroid 3 had such an awesome feeling to it, amazing music, fully voice acted (that's good for ninty) amazing controls, amazing art, level and character design, fluid gameplay (except for that damn fetch quest with the powercells.) and to top it all off it's just plain gorgeous. I want them to create something set in a sci-fi or apocalyptic future because they pulled it off with Metroid. I think Metroid is a classic meeting of east meets west, while it's got some core Japanese gameplay it's still very westernized as an overall product.

a new nintendo sci fi game is coming out. its called disaster: day of crisis

[Silogon]

The original was classic, what gives with you? Kid Icarus is, to this day, one of the best games ever made. It's an incredibly well thought out game with, for the time, every kind of game play thrown at ya.

Scroller, platformer, puzzle, shooter, Kid Icarus had it all. not to mention 3 of the most memorable boss fihts of my childhood. The music still rings in my ears and probably my fathers too who heard it from his bedroom on many a nights as I was growing up and sneaking into the living room to play it at 12:00 at night "ha"

Retro is becoming another blizzard, every single title is quality.

[Zhuk]

Retro Studios should develop for the Xbox 360 where their creative visions will be finally realized with the most powerful home entertainment platform known to man

[cooke15]

Retro Studios is owned by Nintendo. No they shouldn't develop on 360. They made a great game on Wii and there will be another one on the way

[dribnif]

I sure hope so. If something's announced, I'll be forced to wring my hands until it arrives. Can't wait.

[phantomexe]

factor 5 confinerd didn't they, that they where doing kid icarus? retro doing something else.I wonder what it is?I'd bet its not a fps this time.Sure its going be great tho..DKC maybe

[Not the Face]

i thought i heard that they were going to make a first person zelda game...really. kid icarus makes sense but like above i thought factor five was doing it.

[phantomexe]

walmart has no idea goofball on what games are being made.There only contacted by warehouses on release dates or at times to place games on deplay.Those warehouses don't even no.Hey its your lie tho tell it how you want it.

[Smacktard]

He was making a joke you goddamn dinkus.

[Voiceofreason]

Nice.. WE've gotten word on some decent games coming out over the last month and expected at E3. Waiting on more info on the following now. Mad world, Conduit, Mega Man, Castlevania, unannounced Retro game, Factor5 game, and an unannounced shooter from the team that did Moh:H2 for Wii.

[mepsipax]

I hope if the team that did MOH:H2 makes a new game it won't be world war II cause I mean c'mon, we've already got 3 WWII shooter on the wii and after that only 3 other first person shooters so let's break it down. as what they compare to.
Call of Duty: 3 - red steel (pretty but bad control)
Medal of Honor vanguard - far cry (good control but ugly)
Medal of Honor: Heroes 2 - mp:3 (amazing control good game)

so we have 1 WWII shooter for every other shooter, that sucks.

[Voiceofreason]

EA said when Heroes shipped that they put the team to work on an exclusive FPS for Wii. Hopefully it wont be a WW1 or WW2 shooter at all.

[phantomexe]

My bad but i don't see where he jokeing ,but never the less it wouldn't be the frist time someone said that here.All cool tho ,would be cool if they did.

[Perverted]

Retro can make whatever game they want. Chances are it'll be brilliant.
