Retro Studios the development studio behind the Metroid Prime series and Donkey Kong Country Returns is apparently recruiting new staff members to help with a game that reportedly features hand-painted visuals. While there’s no hint regarding what the team are currently working on, legendary games designer Shigeru Miyamoto has said previously that he would like Retro Studios to try their hand at a new Zelda game.
Starfox maps?
live action drowing or something ?
No, I think it would be for maps of the planets in space while viewing the map. Sort of like in Starfox 64.
You know, it might NOT even BE a starfox game they’re working on you know…..
I’m thinking a new platformer. Imagine Metroid with hand-painted visuals; that normally wouldn’t sound so great, but look at Limbo; you can see the possibilities.
Hand painting…okay I haven’t heard of that in a while.
Didn’t they say that with Skyward Sword?
No, they said it looks like an impressionist painting when you’re far away from something.
similar to wiiUs some capsabilities…
That’s more watercolor. I almost thought it was like Skyward Sword too, but it’s not the same thing, fundamentally.
Its a good step in graphic innovation, since the graphics of this genration cannot get anybetter. I think retro studios has a very un-retro idea. i llike it
Personally, given the people they’ve recruited, a Metroid game doesn’t sound too far-fetched….think about it, Uncharted 3 peoples=good at shooters, actions, adventures
Crytek guy=good with multiplayer
painter peoples=not sure yet….
That would also make an interesting Star Fox game or new IP in general.
New game. Just a new game, not a new game in a series, but a whole new franchise.
I don’t believe it says anything about that.
it should be!
i hope we get a zelda game for the 3DS, either way, im happy with whatever retro ends up making.
Hope? We will be getting a new Zelda game for the 3DS, but I don’t think Retro Studios will be making it.
It’s Toon Link for this new Zelda game, right? I hope it controls like OoT 3D, not like the DS version where you use the touch screen to move.
it will control like OoT, the only reason you had to move like that on the ds was because there was no circle pad, itll control normally:D
i dislike the toonlink ones, i prefer most normal link games -.- i mean.. wind waker was more of a watch water game.
I ment thats color painted, and developed by retro.
Maybe they got the rights to Okami. Though Okami is very like Zelda.
As for the Uncharted link, personally I hope whatever they have to do with it, that it isn’t designing a new Metroid otherwise it’ll be more linear and contain many more cutscenes. Even more than Other M. I know the Uncharted series is considered great by a lot of people, but after playing the third one recently, I realised you’re just playing cutscene to set piece to cutscene. Imagine a Metroid Prme where you couldn’t backtrack or explore.
Anyway, apologies for the rant.
It’s not like they hired the entire Uncharted staff, it’s just one guy.
LOLOLOL Capcom wouldnt even give the rights to Megaman to Keji. why the fuck would they give the rights to Okami to Retro?
Personally, I want a Star Fox from them. It’s been too long.
Star Fox is the game i’m waiting for and it will be epic if retro made it.
you have to post this:
http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/02/10/report-xbox-720-to-use-touchscreen-controller
microsoft might copy the wiiu. lol.
they will but the 720 will fail as rumour says not me.
so and nintendo and copyed apple
didn’t mean to put 2 ands >_<
You know the wii u is a home DS
but who cares people need to stop acting like little kids with all the ‘oh they copyed nintendo’ it just matters who does it better
and no sickr should not post it. it’ll just start trouble people will be trolling nintendo fans will go out of controll and peteriuss will be a little annoying troll just like in all post like this
Wii U is home DS? are you being sarcastic? I don’t think so… i believe your trolling… I’ve got something for trolls anyway… click link below to see what im going to use on you.

Actually, he has a point. The Wii U is very similar to the DS. Like a souped up version of it, anyway.
Yeah this is also the impression I got, like, with the CPP, I can imagine them doing HD ports of successful 3DS games (the wiiU is confirmed to have 3D output for 3Dtvs), since the controls would be practically identical.
Yeah, a console sized DS with an HD top screen (primary TV) isn’t really a bad thing or an insult.
Although, they may mean it as an insult, I take it as a compliment. Ha! :)
Done http://mynintendonews.com/2012/02/11/microsoft-are-apparently-preparing-a-wii-u-like-controller-for-next-xbox/
I posted this first, look back in the Unreal Engine post before the Rhythm Heaven one, you’ll find it near the bottom.
It’s obviously Starfox, read the earlier posts about the Nintendo Power article.
Legend of mana for psx was awesome and all graphics were hand made, a game with such features is absolutely unforgetable! At least that’s what I think!
Super Mario Sunshine 2? Just kidding! Retro wouldn’t work on Mario games. The idea does make sense in a way though, right?
LoZ SS zequel would be amazing. Also an Okami sequel on the Wii U, using the tablet and a stylus… \>_</
i was impressed with the Watercolor-style in Skyward Sword. Let’s hope they do it again.
Yeah, I finished TLoZ: SS and am now doing Hero Mode.
Hero Mode is almost IMPOSSIBLE!
I heard there WILL be 2 new games, much like Oricle of Seasons, but Fire and Ice, should be able to link them up.
Also, I do hope that whatever new Zelda game Retro is making now will also be for the 3DS, I’m not allowed to get any more consoles, but I told my parents that it was a possibility to have the PS3, X-Box 360, Wii U, 3DS, Wii, and maybe even the PS4 or X-Box 720.
This has really piqued my interest. I wonder what it could be. It has to be a side scroller, or else I dont know how they could implement hand painted visuals into a 3D environment.
They sort of did it in WindWaker.
Paper Zelda. I can see it now… God I want that now D:
where did this info come from sickr? i
Heres the two info’s this rumor came from.

I love how nobody thinks of yoshi island :3
‘…working on a game everyone wants us to do’…?
You might be on to something.
If it were a Zelda, I can already picture the graphics being completely gorgeous!
I want Star Fox.
At first I figured they would work on a Starfox game..still could be! But it does seem likely that a Zelda title is in the mix. Some more like Skyward sword wouldn’t be amiss, the visuals considering the graphical capability of the Wii is incredible! MUCH MORE SO on Wii U! XD
Could be something new! Hope so I love my zeldas and mario but would love to see something new!
The term used here is most likely “finger painting”. I’ve been googling hand painting and all I’m getting is people who made art out of their hands as opposed to using their hands to paint on a medium. The hand paint results look fantastic, btw.
I’m sure it’s gonna be pretty awesome. Maybe there taking the style of epic mickey and adding their own take to it.

I would like to write a speculative article on the subject, but I’m afraid that by the time I get it all proofread and published, the game will already be known! Naturally the first guess would be a Retro-Zelda, but I get the feeling that Retro just doesn’t have the attitude for it.
I’m hoping for more of a Retro take on Skyrim for the Wii U. Or even better: a modern remake of The Elder Scrolls 1: The Arena. In comparison, Skyrim desperately needed some colour. It’s like Bethesda is living in black-and-white now! Skyirm could also have used a better magic system… and a better dungeon system, and a better just about everything, but that’s another article entirely.
An inspired Retro-made wRPG for the Wii U would do the gaming audience very well, and set a clear path for other developers that they need to step up their studio and keep up with the times.
I want F-Zero, but considering ot’s painted visuals, I’m thinking it will be Zelda, since Painty Starfox doesn’t really fit in my head yet.
I really want Retro to make an F-Zero game as well. Zelda would be good, but that series is alive and well, whereas F-Zero has been moreorless dead for a while now. I feel like Retro could not only make a good game outta the franchise material, but kick-start the series again.
Okami?
Okami was by capcom so it won’t be made by retro.
Not trying to destroy hopes or anything, but remember how the DS Zelda’s kept Wind Waker’s artstyle? The new game will be that Zelda game for the 3DS that is currently in the works with a Skyward Sword artstyle.
Paper Mario styled zelda. Holy crap I’d love that.
I am hoping it’s either Zelda, Star Fox, Metroid, or Yoshi’s Island. Those seem the most likely to be next from Retro or if by a long shot and a miracle…………Okami 2 (Okamiden is more of a spin-off IMO).
Please be a Metroid Prime game
