Retro Studios are looking to hire two individuals for a brand new project, according to a tweet sharing the job descriptions. The company behind the magic of Donkey Kong and Metroid Prime are looking for an AI engineer to work on programming for AI enemies and bosses, as well as a UI engineer to work with “a specific focus on User Interface programming for HUD”, according to the respective job descriptions.
Earlier this month, Retro Studios were looking for four other talented individuals to fill roles as a Senior Tools Engineer, IT Manager, Concept Artist and Tool Engineer. Speculation is afoot on all sides, but what do you hope this new project will be?
Thanks, Mr Specials
Metroid Wiiu!!!
Fuck you, we’ve had 5 Metroid games in the last decade! Let them work on something else! Star Fox!
As if any of us have any impact to what my superiors decides to make…
Your superiors? LMAO they don’t even know of your existence hahaga lol :)
That’s why they are the Gods of our people…
We are nothing compared to their supreme holiness…
We? Maybe you’re nothing compared to them, me? I’m as much of a human as anybody else ;)
Can you please just die with this bullshit?
Let’s hope they start getting their act together or our “gods” will be nothing compared to Sony and NSA.
My lords, please forgive his insolence…
But indeed, get your acts together!
I apologize for my insolence as well…
…
You and your squadron should go to Wii U planet and help us out in the frontlines.. If you know what i mean ;) Waiting for a Smash Bros. bundle or something like that isn’t a bad idea however.
Wait.. Are you saying that fucker doesn’t even have a Wii U? And he calls himself a Commander -_-
I know
I’m hoping for a Mario Kart 8 bundle…
And I’ll buy Pikmin 3 and SM3DW along with it as a start…
The AI could help space pirates attack more tactfully. And some harder enemies could break lock on more easily. How are you btw? Hugs!
Agreed…
A new semester with maths this time…
Somewhat easier but the pace is a bit faster…
Otherwise playing my 3DS whenever I can and getting my Wii U during the late spring…
How about you?…
Are you talking like a normal person Mr commander? O_o
Started going back to classes. Also started helping a friend with work. And I’m single again. =(
Why again?…
Stuff happened….. Sad face.
someone else should work on starfox. I KNEW METROID IS NEXT”! they probably finished planningor even started development. we all know they have a huge enough team to start work on something while they finish the last one.
Only four of which were consoles, mind you. Metroid Prime Trilogy doesn’t count.
Sega is best and fuck you? What’s with the stupidness ey? Be a little bit nicer:D
Star fox or metroid. But they need a metroid on this system and honestly they should shoot for a M rating. Starfox would be good but it needs to be really big, (it is in space after all) but it should have a lot of exploration and timing around. Honestly they should work with Bethesda on a star fix game. It should be one of those games ware you play 3-4 characters stories lines and they constantly crisscross, so its the same game 3-4 times but from 3-4 perspectives.
The problem is that the Bethesdian Militia doesn’t like our empire so it’s never going to happen…
Plus they are avid Xbot supporters…
F**k Bethesda! IMHO they should put it on the scope of like Mass Effect; tons of planets to find, tons of galaxies to explore, except maybe allowing us to maneuver the space ships, maybe giving team commands (like ME team fighting commands, but in SPACE), and then yeah hopefully improving on the melee/ground aspect, I mean they have a whole consistent skillset from SSB as their first concept regarding melee combat.
Metroid or Starfox confirmed for Wii U domination!
Perhaps this is for Lord Miyamoto’s new project?
I doubt it…
His lordship’s new game is probably already in Alpha stage by now…
this project could be aswell
just because they’re still hiring doesn’t have to mean they haven’t started yet
Thank you Proctor!

*wink*
Right!!
Anyway i am pretty shure with 2 things:
– DKCR2 is finished since Nov/Dec abnd it is pretty obvious Nintendo moved it in Feb to close the gap to the next game releases in 2014. So the main team quit working on DK maybe on Sept/Oct
– There is even a big posibility a smaller team started with another project mor early, because normaly you do not need a full staff in the first phase of a project…
So what ever retro is now up to is propably in the worxs for half a year now minimum…
He has bin working on it for a long time now, also retro works on classic games (hints the name) so it well most likely be starfox or metroid. Honestly I think Nintendo should let retro work on metroid, and then work with Bethesda on new RPG style star fox and ice climber adventure games
Starfox would be awesome***
CAN’T HANDLE ALL THE HINTS!!!
HUD engineer=Metroid prime game. Period.
Thisssss!! :D
even donkey kong country has a HUD… doesn’t have to mean anything
Could just as well be starfox honestly. But I think they should be working on a new metroid though. Nintendo dues greate stuff when they reach out to other companies they should go to Bethesda and have them work on new RPG style ice climber and star fox adventure games.
Donkey Kong 3D Land ;)
I don’t get why people keep going with the DK Jokes
They think that these jokes will impact Nintendo fans. It’s almost pitiful that they waste their time with such awful jokes. Brainless trolls mimic others.
I also think its because they did 2 DK games in a row. I saw someone comment about why is it when they make 3 Metroids in a row no one cares and is happy. However when they want to do another DK people get upset. People missed the DK games too
Don’t care what it is, probably going to be great! And I have to borrow the Metrod Prime trilogy from my friend, as I haven’t played it yet…
:o your missing out man
I’ve started to understand that, with all this praise of Retro’s excelent work… If I can’t borrow it, I might buy it. I finally have time to play some other games, as I only plan to buy Donkey Kong, Mario Kart and Watch Dogs until summer. Funny thing is: they’re all Wii U games, only 3DS game I have planned for this year (this far, Nintendo Directs usually comes out of the blue with tempting games…) is SSB4. Buying it on both formats, as I believe Wii U version will be the definitive version, while the 3DS has portable play!

METROID PRIME 4 IS COMIN!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m sure it won’t be called “Prime” anymore because the story is over but a new Metroid yes…
But just for fun…
Did you not see the 100% ending of Prime 3? There was something there, they left an opening. Who knows though, the main threat is dead so you’re right on some level.
I’m hoping it was Sylux…
Sylux should be Samus’ second Arch-Nemesis…
After the events of Metroid Fusion, i believe both Samus and Sylux will cooperate against the galactic federation, seeing that i guess both of them are in disgust of them, samus for their secrecy in developing metroids, and sylux, ex GF marine for whatever reason he hates them.
Just my two cents, still, whatever it is it will be awesome!
Hmmm never thought of that before…
Sounds nice!
And maybe in the end he turns against her…
I’ve always had this idea that Sylux could be Ian…
sylux should be in smash
Indeed, would be a dream come true…
Who’s Ian huh?! Huh?! Lol.
I think someone needs to replay Metroid Other M…
*wink*
Adam’s brother right? I did play it (100%) but that was once and 2 years ago. What’s the wink for huh? ;)
Nah, we need RUNDAS! To this day, my heart aches whenever i remember killing him….really sad.
The Prime trilogy ended when Phaaze (the Phazon planet) and Metroid Prime/Dark Samus got obliterated at the end of Metroid Prime 3: Corruption.
In 2016 most likely. .. ;.;
But at least it appears to be on the drawing board!
Hooray, I’m so looking forward to all my upcoming Wii U games in 2020***
This joke lacks any creativity. Nice try, though!
I agree. Nintendo consistently releasing games late or delayed is getting very old.
if it’s a new Metroid game, I’d like it to be a 2D with 3D scenario. Since motion controls wouldn’t be used, the game wouldn’t suck like Other M.
if it’s another franchise game, PLEASE MAKE IT A STAR FOX.
The gameplay in Metroid Other M was lovely…
It was the story and the portrayal of Samus that made it look bad…
really? I thought what ppl complained the most about the game was the controls. That whole “turn the Wiimote” thing felt like it slowed down the pace of the game.
unfortunately I haven’t played the game to know its story, so I can’t argue on that.
It was mostly because of those 2 reasons, some complained about the controls but they are just bad at playing games I guess…
I had no trouble…
Same. I loved the controls, but hated the portrayal of our favorite badass bounty hunter.
Other M was so underrated, it’s not a bad game at all, people just bitch about the story. Maybe seeing Ripley for 5 times before and a sixth when she thought for sure he was dead made here have PTSD. As well as how do any of us know what Samus is thinking.
I think Other M was brilliant. Period end of story.
Nobody realizes that she killed him once and for all in Super Metroid, then blew him to fucking oblivion when she blew up planet Zebes.
No wonder she had a PTSD attack when he came back. It’s like a “you can never escape from me” moment.
I can agree that she could have been somewhat shocked but having PTSD is too much…
They made her look the entire game as a fragile normal woman that can fight…
Samus is so much better than a mere human on all levels…
She has Chozo DNA and should be far better at handling things whatever they might be…
Her parents were ripped up, killed in front of her by Ridley when she was little. She sought vengeance, and when she thought she finally got it, he comes back again.
And the ridiculous fp mode to look for exits. …so under developed
Ah yes…
It should have had something more at least…
Did they say HUD? It has to be Metroid or Star Fox then! YIPPPEEEEE
man i want a new starfox but i hope this is the new IP they said along time ago they were working on.
okay, okay everyone calm down, don’t get too excited if it isn’t Metroid, than everyone will riot so don’t get your hopes up, it could be Metroid, it could be Mario, it could be something totally new
It better be metroid. There is a REASON we riot! We WANT Metroid.
Molotov Cocktails ready! If it’s another Mario, I’m selling my WiiU. (but it won’t me ;)
Would love a new IP, but I don’t mind whatever they make. Even DKC looks epic, and I am actually starting to get hyped about it!
Sweet! That makes 5 of you that are excited!
Well Retro now has Wii U development experience so the next title will be great no matter what
Don’t speculate that it is Metroid because people will die if its not
could be a new IP for all we know
after all he did say “brand new” :)
Yea that is true
this made me so laugh so hard here is the link.. http://gamingbolt.com/former-sony-dev-wii-was-100m-fad-may-not-be-repeated-nintendo-have-done-st-job-promoting-wii-u
The Sonyan Outcast said Vita?…
Well he is a little bit right into saying that Wii U has not been advertised right. I haven’t seen any adverts lately.
“No one wants it” – What?…..I want it, otherwise I wouldn’t have bought it.
The Wii was a fad? – Oh do shut up. It did that well because it was something different.
I get real sick of hearing “Fad” and “Gimmick” used by people. So, Kinects, Move, smartglass, back-panel touchpads etc… Are not gimmicks? Just because Nintendo does something different, doesn’t make it a gimmick, especially when everyone copies within a year anyway.
When someone uses the word Gimmick, they are either jealous of Nintendo’s Tech, don’t like it (which is their right) or just want to join the “Fad” of calling Nintendo game lay innovations, “gimmicks.”
Props to you sir. Or miss. I hate the word “gimmick”. And screw those fads!
Me too. People like to think they seem smart and experienced if they call innovations “gimmicks”. By their definition, gaming in general is a gimmick.
Except it to be a rehash game since that’s all you dronez are into ;)
#Rehash2014comfirmed
Coming from a Sonydrone who likes the same game over and over again… AKA Infamous and Uncharted
lolzzz Sony drone? Nice assuming but it doesn’t change the fact that Nintendo rehashes all there gamez ;)

I would gladly share some links with you to show you a comparative table of Nintendo’s number of games from one franchise per gen and Sony’s numbers but the admins and shit won’t let me.
You would be quite surprised though.
no he wouldn’t
don’t feed the troll
Metroid !! Please !!!
UI for a HUD? AI for enemies and bosses?! DEFINITELY METROID. AAAAAAAAHHHHH SO MUCH HYPE!!!
Has anyone ever noticed that there’s baseball gloves on the pile of bananas?
yes….
BUT WHYYYYYY ARE THEY THERE!?!
Nintendo make captain falcon’s punch out.
I have leaked info on what Retro is working on: They are making 2 dlc expansion packs for DKCTF. The first DLC involves Diddy and Dixie ala DKC2 and the second DLC is a ‘What if scenario’. Instead of the vikings taking over DK island, its the space pirates from Metroid. Samus is a buddy character for DK and Ridley is one of the bosses. Monster games is helping out for these expansion packs. A Metroid game is in development, but that is all the info i can give you for now
OK NOW THAT DLC IS AWESOME AND WOULD EXPLAIN THAT SAMUS SHIP IN ONE OF THE LEVELS IN THE BACKROUND THANK YOU!
but seruiously post a source please.
If I’ve learned anything from Nintendo as of recent is that little easter eggs hint at their next game. Like Majoras Mask, the 72nd Maimai staying behind, etc. in A Link Between Worlds.
I want a real Metroid. Not DLC for a game that is NOT METROID.
If it is a new Metroid they need to have online MP or hell any game they’re working on should especially if its an FPS or anything to expand the games life imo.
I am the source, David. I am keeping this low key for obvious reasons.
So ughm…… where’s DK’s teeth? :0
I would love Starfox but its Metroid.
I hope it’s something completely new.
Baseball gloves? StarTropics maybe? How cool would that be?! Hugs!
HUD design literally gives it away… Metroid…
