It’s been brought to my attention that the latest edition of the Official Nintendo Magazine has a in-depth feature titled ’A Brief History Of Retro Studios’. Towards the end of the feature they move onto what they think the studio behind the Metroid Prime games and Donkey Kong Country Returns are working on next, ending with these two sentences…
“While some suggest this new project is likely to be a return to the Metroid franchise, we’d love to see another Nintendo hero get the retro stamp of excellence. After all, having rolled out the barrels for Donkey Kong, perhaps it’s time Retro pulled off a barrel roll of a different kind.”
Could the Official Nintendo Magazine be privy to something we don’t know about? We have absolutely no clue as to what Retro Studios are working on next, but what we can all guess it’s a Wii U title. What better way to launch the Wii U with a brand new Star Fox title developed by Retro Studios?
Thanks Paul T for the tip.
Sweeet!
I’m just replying so people will see my comment, but one thing i didn’t like about the Wii was how a lot of key franchises weren’t on there like f zero, starfox, kid icarus. And lack of new IP’s as well. But i know Wii U will be different, and as we get closer to E3 the more i think Wii U will be a beast and has the potential to sell like the Wii. Nintendo really seems to be learning from mistakes. At least i hope so.
Well the graphical difference won’t change for Star Fox Assault and F-Zero GX those games look just as good as Twilight Princess, Super Mario Galaxy and Metroid Prime 3.
Although Star Fox I can’t imagine it on Wii but Wii U yes.
star fox on wii u is gonna be purdy, ooooooh and pikmin 3 too, god all of those games will be so crispy beautiful in glorious hd
The Wii U is going to be a gorgeous system… I can’t wait. So glad I got a job, 850 saved up from a few weeks ago, already have enough money for the system :D
dont listent to that troll peteriuss he is kust playing around like a dirty dogy
Also just replying etc.
I think there’s no question anymore about this, this is pretty much a confirmation for Star Fox Wii U :D. With the ”a project everyone wants us to do” quote I was thinking about three franchises: Metroid, Star fox or F-Zero (I was think they might do F-Zero too eventually).
Anyway: One more reason to buy the Wii U!!!
I think even if it they weren’t working on it (which they probably are), one would’ve been made eventually. Nintendo can’t pass this opportunity up. Also i think it has a chance of being at launch depending on how long they were working on it. DCKR was released 2010 and that’s a decent time to develop. It’s either they were working on something else and are finished or they’ve been working on starfox the whole time. My opinion is they were working on starfox and a re almost finished and another part of “Retro (the one with naughty dog and vigil developers) are working on a different title. (Maybe Metroid but not Zelda becuase it already started production)
Yes, Kid Icarus the key franchise that has had two games released in the series.
Well the reboot for 3DS has made it a key franchise now (In my opinion).
….yeah…and the reboot for Sin & Punishment made it a key franchise.
Sin & Punishment is not too popular outside of japan but was still criticly acclaimed
his list of key nintendo franchises are probably just those represented in brawl
nintendos key franchises is super smash bros thats why its the best nintendo game ever because it has all the best game charectors in it.
Nothing’s wrong with F-Zero and Kid Icarus, but neither of those were ‘key’ franchises during the Wii’s life span.
Okay then according to you guys nothing really is a key franchise because all nintendo technically needs is Mario and Zelda and maybe Metroid
And Pokemon.
always pokemon
Oh yeah!! They’ll do something great as always!!
If it’s StarFox, I will do a barrel roll in the streets!
I will BARREL ROLL WITH THE Wii U Controller.
Just remember there’s no guarantee that hay are working on the game or are going to, could just be a Nintendo pun, but this is merely speculation.
Dammit, how did I type hay instead of they?
Dammit, how did i read it as they instead of hay? lol
I did too…
YEES!!!! PLEASE!!!!! OMG!!!! STARFOX IS THE SHIT!!!!!
JoY@!
Do a barrel roll!
(Release 1 while holding barrel)
Yes, please.
StarFox Assualt was one epic looking game, on the GC. Imagine it FULL HD 1080P!
Hope so
DO A BARREL ROLL!!!
Here’s your Barrel Roll :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bb1Cqsceos
It’s gonna be a new metroid prime they left a teaser at the end of MP3 remember
Metroid Prime Trilogy is out meaning the end of that saga.
Doesn’t mean there’s not a possibility for a new trilogy. I’ve read your previous comments, too. You seem slightly ignorant.
HA!
Retro Studios said that there might be another Metroid Prime game if fans want it enough, or something like that.
u are aware u can make more than one trilogy? Star Wars. Halo. etc
Hahahaha, they totally are! I’m REALLY excited, especially if they go in a similar direction that Rare did with Starfox Adventures, but perhaps with less dinosaur. Yeah. Every day I look more forward to the Wii U!
Starfox Assault was sick, but it also made me sick, motion sick. The graphics were amazing and so smooth! Hope Star Fox gets Retro-fitted. :P
This would be absolutely AMAZING! Retro +Star Fox + Wii U hardware = Awesome sauce.
I hope this turns out to be true!!!!
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We need a new Starfox game so badly + HD graphics… Dont make that crap Starfox Adventures…. Make it more like StarFox Assault with more arwing missions and stuff!!! Add some online multiplayer and if possible make those on-foot parts A LOT better than Assault or just simply take them out. I’m so ready for Wii-U
Thanks God! I find people who like Star Fox Assault better than Adventure. I never finish adventure cares it doesn’t plays like Star Fox. What was Rare thinking.
What was Rare thinking? They were were making a new original game until Nintendo decided to drop in.
brb doing barrel rolls of joy! :’D OMG IF THIS HAPPENS………YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Not sure about this. If it returns to how Star Wing/Star Fox or Lylat Wars/Star Fox 64 were, fantastic! However, if they go down the route Star Fox Adventures, Star Fox Assault or Star Fox Command took, I will be very, very disappointed, and slightly angry.
Yeah, if this is true, I want them to go back to Star Fox’s roots! I’d like to also see them put a new spin on it as well. Not a copy pasta of Star Fox 64.
It’s Retro, Dammit! Have faith.
This^
i have to get a wii U :)
“Retro Studios” + “Starfox”
I KNEW IT I KNEW IT I KNEW IT I KNEW THIS DAY WOULD COME!!!!!!!!!! :D
srry got too excited. :P
Don’t get too excited, after all ONM use all kinds of puns in the magazine, besides, it sounded more like a hope for the game rather than speculation or hinting, I could be wrong though
HMMM, I Guess Retro Studios Is The New RAREWARE right??
You are absolutely 10,000% correct sir!!!!!!! I think Retro Studios is indeed the new American version of Rare.
Yep! Now all we need from them is more games! I don’t think they make enough games….they need more!
Please!
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
dice working on BF for wii u?
Doubt it, to me it looks like they’re just hoping retro studios works on starfox, not hinting at the fact that they know it’s being done or anything like that…
As the guy who tipped Sickr off about this I’d like to point out this is from the official magazine of Nintendo, not a fan site or random magazine. Plus, as I said to Sickr, they also mentioned that they couldn’t reveal any the games they *know* are coming for Wii U for the gun at their head. Maybe it’s nothing and you’re right, I just don’t get why the official magazine would put that without knowing something.
Whether it’s Star Fox or not I’m excited for whatever Retro are doing as they’re on an incredible roll at the moment.
ONM always do this, they may be reviwers but they are also fans, they usually wish for games like in the christmas issue they were hoping for Skyrim on the Wii U
True they do have an annual wish list – like all magazines – but they’ve never said it in this way. Maybe they’re just teasing after seeing all the ‘Retro making Star Fox’ rumours or stirring things up a bit or maybe they do know something. Personally I think the third is the most likely.
I am hoping it is Adventures so you can use the Wiimote as the staff and the Handheld controller as the PDA.
NO magi cookie for you pal.
No adventures
Squee! Please let this be true =)
YES!!!
They should make it with the classic Arwing gameplay, Landmaster battles and chases, submarine battles, and some land combat.
Yes, I know the land battles haven’t been the best, but I think Retro could make it work if they wanted. Maybe use Uncharted as some inspiration (Not a SonyDrone)!
And online battles for Arwings (Dog-Fights), Landmaster and submarine dog-fights. And a land-based online mode similar to the one in Uncharted with an additional Nintendo flare!
If they aren’t working on StarFox, I want them on either F-Zero for Wii U, Wave Race for 3DS, Earthbound for either 3DS/Wii U, or something completely new!
Im Thinking It Might Be A Earthbound
Please let this happen :) im getting a wii u anyways but if this happens omg it will be the best thing ever
YES! YES! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please make it happen, Retro!!!
Hopefully, something along the lines of Star Fox 64 or Assault, but with much more missions.
Whoa, even the box art is in 3D. -___-
Wishful thinking probably.
…sorry guys :/
YES!!!!!!! FOX IS BACK
wait they never said it will be for wiiu it could be for 3ds or wii reggie did say zelda ss is not the last good wii game but anyway im just happy my favorite fox is back :D
Retro has to be working on the Wii U. There was news that they got the Dev kit early and also they wouldnt be pulling guys from naughty dog, vigil games and other studios to make a 3DS game.
It might be a rumor :p
Sweet, I would love to see a new Star Fox. I just started Star Fox Adventures (its ok) and I have Assault ready to go after. Star Fox 64 was one of my favorite games on N64. I absolutely loved Star Fox Command (Worth the $4)
Please Retro Studio, ”use bombs wisely!” :p
I wish it could be an adventure game with lots of arwing missions! (and fox using his blaster on-foot missions)
That’s awesome. I predicted this awhile back! They’d better do something sweet. StarFox needs another great game. It’s been too long.
I doubt that, Wii U must launch with a mario platformer to make sure it will pass the fail of 3DS launch titles.
Really excited for this if it is true. It does make me wonder what studio would be working on the next Metroid game, but either way I will love to see it! I wouldn’t put all my money that it would be on Wii U however. Since they helped make a course in Mario Kart 7, I would think they would be making something 3DS related.
retro did more than make a track in fairness
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO>>> :-(
i want Metroid back!!
Don’t complain about your lack of Metroid here.
You just killed the text box. well done.
They said it’s something “everyone wants us to do.” It’s Prime 4/HD remake of Metroid Prime Trilogy
I believe they are done with the Metroid series for a while, unless its Dread, but I kinda doubt it.
I agree with the above. I think they’re done with Metroid Prime. If they do another Metroid, I think it’ll start a new series or something like that.
Also, if it’s Metroid, hopefully it’s something more original than a simple HD remake of the Prime Trilogy.
I think it’s just a coincidence, but they’ve had this rumor before, so maybe. Who knows.
This site is really bad for hipping up rumors that aren’t true doubt this is happening cause ONM hinted at it
Still haven’t played Donkey Kong Country Returns, but i might get it soon. I hope whatever game they’re making turns out great :)
Dkcr is an excellent game what are you waiting on!? It’s also pretty challenging.
I really don’t know what exactly held me back from buying it, but now all the money i have is going towards a Wii U and whatever launch game interests me the most.
Only the two Super Mario Galaxy games are better than DKCR in my opinion. It’s superb.
I’d like to see Retro Studios do ”Ice Climbers Returns!”
Not to mention Mach Rider and Wrecking Crew.
Now THAT would be nice. Ice Climbers could use a comeback.
If the gameplay is life SF64, sure, why not. If it’s like the games on GCN (they’re not bad, just not SF) I don’t think I’m gonna be doing any barrel rolls.
This is just ONM being ONM. Retro would be amazing at Star Fox and I have suggested several times to ONM and the fanpage, normally getting positive thoughts back. I’m guessing the article was written by Chris. It’s just how he writes, they would say something otherwise or tease it in an upcoming issue. :L
Are you kidding me? It was an expression of opinion -.-
Out of all of the Nintendo franchises, I always thought this would be the most likely Retro would take on. But I still want them to do Earthbound.
aww yeah star fox back on console baby!
If Star Fox DOES come to Wii U, there’s one thing I want that the series should have gotten a long time ago: a co-op mode. That would make On-foot missions SO much more fun (though personally, I think they’re pretty fun anyway…)
Or just don’t have lame on-foot missions. This is Star Fox, not Need For Speed.
finally a non jap game im so happy thank u nintendo for letting america make a game for your console
Got a problem with Japanese people, son?
They’re always “scowling.”
me hopes it like that walking arounds ones and nots dah flyings ones.anyway i go backs too my crystal meths now.
:O
Pingback: [Rumor] Retro Studios podría estar trabajando en un Starfox para WiiU
Um… both? But I’d prefer a decent Metroid game first. Non FPS. Hell, make it a 2.5d side scroller like New Super Mario Bros. If not, then a GOOD, atmospheric, moody 3d adventure. The NES and especially SNES games were so well made in that respect that you felt damn terrified to go into a new room/area, but had fun the whole way through. The Prime games had a tiny bit of that, but it definitely didn’t have even half the spirit that the SNES game had.
I’m hoping this is true, but I’m hoping it’s not the “new IP” they were talking about. Retro is already well into being the next Rare. If they play their cards right (reboots of franchises and maybe a new IP or two) with the Wii U, they will make tons of money. I’m already sold on basically every game they release on the console.
Pingback: ¿Retro Studios encargados de un nuevo Star Fox? | Gamer Society
From the editor them self: ‘People read too much into things. We have no clue what Retro are working on or if another Star Fox is on the way’
I love Starfox but I want Metroid! Make both and problem solved! Yay
Retro did metroid.
They should do both. Starfox should be first then Metroid.
Seeing the end of MP3 there is something linking to a possible 4. There has to be because the metroid game after that in chronological order or else we would never know what the ending links up to.
Great post sickr
Anybody think it will be like Star Fox 64 or a fresh new concept?(If they really are making Star Fox).
i know this is like really off topic but look a new mario party 9 trailer!!!
Imagine this game using a lot of Wii accessories such as the Zapper, MotionPlus, Wii Wheel, etc.
I’d like to see them make a new F-ZERO more than anything else.
Star Fox needs a reboot make a Star Fox 2 remake since it never got released but have the basic Star Fox crew like Fox,Peppy,Slippy, and Falco and maybe add Miyu and Fay. They need to ignore adventures,assault, and command because they were all abominations.
I sincerely doubt this is an actual insider tip, but I’d love it to be true.

I highly doubt it, but it’s interesting to consider; I’d rather have a new Metroid Prime though…

This strangely reminds me of how Rare developed that amazing Star Fox launch title for GameCube. Since Retro is the new Rare, I have high hopes that this rumor is true.
Good luck, Retro!

Don’t get ur hopes up it might be a rumor LOL
Heck I would buy the Wii U just because of a new Star Fox game. The series has been my favorite ever since I was little so of course I’m gonna be behind this 100%.
Pingback: Why I’m Excited For Wii U « Weckyboy's Weblog
I just hope that if they are making a new STARFOX game, that they focus it on being a straight-up space-shooter like the original. Starfox adventures, and assault both sucked IMHO. They just didn’t feel right. Please bring back classic Starfox, or just let it die.
I agree as long as they remake Star Fox 2 I will be happy because it never got release because of the nintendo 64, besides from what I’ve been hearing its awsome game. I don’t know why nintendo didn’t release it……….. still a girl can wish though ;)
I hope its a remake of Star Fox 2 because it was the “best star fox game ever” according to the research I’ve been doing too bad Nintendo didn’t release it because of the Nintendo 64 launch I hope its Star Fox 2 still………..a girl like me can get her hopes up though ;)
Pingback: The Wii U Library: What We Know - diodimer: Blog - IGN
Wii-U has been out for a while now, and there’s been no sign of a new StarFox. Maybe the game will be so awesome that it’ll take forever to produce!
