The official Nintendo magazine sat down with Retro CEO Michael Kelbaugh and Nintendo SPD producer Kensuke Tanabe to talk about Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze and possible future projects for the company. Tanabe says that Nintendo consider Retro as part of the Nintendo family and they may eventually end up working on a title that legendary designer Shigeru Miyamoto leads in the future.
“We consider Retro as part of [the] Nintendo family and a very capable game development studio. As a Nintendo development team, they will keep working with not only SPD, but also with the development teams in Kyoto. They might even work on a title that Miyamoto-san leads directly in the future. However, the SPD team assigned to Retro is working together with them as a single team and I hope it will continue this way. (On Mario Kart 7, for example, SPD staff were involved as co-ordinators.) I am saying this because a very interesting and stimulating chemical reaction occurs when the two parties from different languages and cultures are united under Nintendo’s game production philosophy, and that chemical reaction results in extraordinary ideas.”
Interesting, not gonna speculate what it is, though. I’m tired of expecting something great and being disappointed.
Unfortunately… that is my reputational thought on Nintendo too.
:( I can’t wait til Nintendo starts turning things around, I want to get my hopes up and it turns out awesome in the end.
Metroid Prime 4. Come on, you know we want it. Metroid Prime 4.
Metroid Prime 3 had a cliffhanger at the end.
Or Metroid 5! At the end of Fusion they left it so Samus is completely on her own which could open up a really awesome story
Yeah I want to see Nintendo go back to the main series instead of another prime.
All Primes and even Other M are canon and part of the main series, they are not spin-offs and are part of the official timeline
METROID PRIME 4 OR METROID DREDDMETROID PRIME 4 OR METROID DREDDMETROID PRIME 4 OR METROID DREDDMETROID PRIME 4 OR METROID DREDDMETROID PRIME 4 OR METROID DREDDMETROID PRIME 4 OR METROID DREDDMETROID PRIME 4 OR METROID DREDDMETROID PRIME 4 OR METROID DREDDMETROID PRIME 4 OR METROID DREDDMETROID PRIME 4 OR METROID DREDDMETROID PRIME 4 OR METROID DREDDMETROID PRIME 4 OR METROID DREDD OR GTFO!!!!!!!!!
Well she mostly worked and fought alone. But what can be explored for Metroid 5 (Dread) is the Federation is now Samus’s enemy and their Metroid Breeding conspiracy comoletely unfolds and sturs a new threat against civilization.
I had an idea of what could or should happen in the next entry but I won’t openly say it. XD
You can’t call a game “Metroid” if they were all killed off!!! A reboot would be fantastic because you can START ALL OVER AGAIN!! How about…an alternate universe where they are still alive? And use the CryEngine 3 or 4 or something way better? The possibilities are endless…..!
Can’t wait to see what it will lead to.
if miyamoto makes metroid i’m fine with it
If Miyamoto was in charge just imagine the mind blowing game they’d come up with.
Wii Music 2!!
^ This is exactly why Miyamoto shouldn’t be involved. From what I’ve read he seems like a bit of a control freak… and that’s only a good thing if you’re playing Melee.
Yeah. It’s fine if Miyamoto is involved, but Retro should have more control… because he was the reason why Sticker Star was what it was…
Ughhh Sticker Star. One of the all time biggest disappointments in gaming.
It was when I learned of his involvment with Sticker Star that I lost my respect for him as a developer.
I believe he learned Wii Music was a mistake and that he can’t afford to repeat again. That’s one of the only couple of times he disappointed us but that doesn’t mean he’s a terrible designer. Even the most recognized of people can make mistakes like everyone else including you.
And him a control freak? lol Have you overlooked EA’s history of strings of BS and control over people’s games and wallets? Why do you think they’re the most shittiest gaming company on earth and Miyamoto is a legend?
At least Miyamoto gets his shit together even after a couple of his past setbacks but EA just does it regularly to fuck with people and their money.
^ This is an overly-defensive comment.
It should be called Donkey Kong City. Where Donkey Kong travels through big cities across the world like New York City, London, Tokyo to save his love interest. It should be in full 3D mode, the ability to play in day or night time, he should have the ability to scale buildings and structures as well. He should be able to travel oceans and rivers either by swimming or by boat. The final boss should be named Kinga Kong.
Boom.
How about Donkey Kong World? Multiple dyanmically diverse worlds (DKC2-esque) that follows Mario 64’s open world mechanic on a grand scale? Now that game would kick ass.
I HOPE ITS ANOTHER DK GAME!!
Nintendo SPD? Nintendo Space Patrol Delta?
Nintendo second party development managmenet thing thing thing where thet control overall the second parties. or is that something else I dunoo they have like 30 different groups.
Kranky Kong: The return of the Monkey
Lmao that’s the next monkey game for the babies that Nintendo is working on with Retro and Miyamoto
I remember hearing about this before. I guess this is just an update confirming that Retro is probably going to work with Miyamoto on something.
As long as retro would still have a good amount of control I’m fine with this.

waoo
It’d be nice if it were a new IP or something, just to stick it to all the people whining about Metroid Prime. Seriously, I wish people would stop whining about it. People blame Nintendo for rehashing their franchises, yet people clamer for Metroid Prime 4 instead of something new.
Keep calm guys, it says that Retro “might” even work on a title led by Miyamoto, it doesn’t mean that it’ll happen or that it’s happening right now.
It’s funny how everyone started wondering what this title is “I hope it’s Metroid! I hope it’s another DK!” like if they were working on it already.
Ever heard of “having an open mind”? Try doing that.
please no platformer…
give us an addult game.
metroid or a new franchise.
I agree…sounds cool…a mastermind with able body parts to do the work. I pray to baby jesus it aint no “wii u: the boardgame”…
Are you using “adult” as a term of approval or description?
Meh. Dk, im sure, is as great as pikmin, but we’ve kinda seen what these two bring to the table when left to their own devices. The wiiu needs games that will drive sales. This ‘pet project’ crap is helping no one.
If you have talented developers at your disposal, let them be creative on their own and just peek in every once in a while to make sure theyre building something that actually has a chance at catching on. Dont put shiggy in the same room to say ‘i wouldve done it this way.’
I heard Miyamoto was interested in designing a first person shooter as his last project before he went into retirement. At the last E3 he visited the Titanfall booth, demoed the game, and conferred with the developers. Retro made the Metroid Prime series; an action-adventure game; albeit, in first person. I doubt he would work on a new Prime game, as Metroid II: The Return of Samus suffices as the chronological, defacto sequel. Let’s hope it is a new IP and a damn fine shooter; that’s the only genre Nintendo hasn’t tackled. Then they’ed have great platformers, racers, fighters, RPGs, SRPGs, all the weird stuff, and, finally, a competent shooter. Nintendo-domination would be a go.
Well Metroid 2 was already the sequel to Metroid Prime 1, but they still slotted three more Primes in between. The existence of Metroid 2 and it’s status as taking place after Corruption really has no impact at all on whether they’d make another Prime. What’s more pertinent is the Retro said long ago that Corruption was the last in the Prime series.
OLD NEWS WE KNEW IT SINCE LAST YEAR
I hope they don’t. Miyamoto loves fucking things up
Miyamoto did not do Metroid. So it will probably be another wack game or either another DK game……. 3D like DK64 perhaps
Something original would be cool. Considered we been promised a new ip for a while from shiggy.
Miyamoto new IP, FPS game! 100% ;-)
Metroid Prime 4, or a 3D open world Donkey Kong Planet, or an all new action/adventure 3D Star Tropics or an all new RPG Earthbound. Platinum Games should do Starfox or 3rd person Metroid.
Jet Force Gemini for wii u that game was incredible or better yet tetras trackers!
Pingback: Retro Studios podría trabajar junto con Miyamoto - Tierra Gamer
Starfox anyone?
That’s my guess!
a Kirby game would own so much! :-D
How about a Bomberman & Mario crossover game? open world but they swap powers Mario with bombs! Bomberman with Mario’s powers the possibilities are endless!
