Retro Studios has begun work on their next project.
Speaking with gaming website GameSpot, Nintendo producer Kensuke Tanabe stated that the studio, developers of the recent Donkey Kong Country games, Mario Kart 7, and the Metroid Prime series, has begun work on their next project. While this project has been in development for the last few months, Tanabe would not comment further on the specifics of the game.
Shigeru Miyamoto speculated last year about the possibility of Retro Studios working on a Metroid or Zelda game, singling them out as a "high-priority" studio.
What are you babbling "fool me once" for? DKCR and DKC:TF are awesome games.

Even if they are, those are not the games we were expecting out ofRareRetro Studios based on the amount of HYPE generated from hiring news.

I think those people who hyped themselves up over something as nebulous as hiring news should only be angry at themselves.

When they were announcing that they were brining in people from the Uncharted (& Crysis?) games, and there were talks of a new secret project, the last thing we were expecting was another Donkey Kong Country the side scrolling sequel, regardless of good it turned out to be.
A reboot of the Metroid series in the style of last year's Tomb Raider and a 2D sequel for the 3DS. They could reuse assets from the DKCR/TF to make the 3DS Metroid Game and build the Wii U Metroid from scratch. The rebooted Metroid would tell the tale of a young Samus as she is stranded on a planet and has to rise up to be bounty hunter.Yeah... No. While I liked the new Tomb Raider. I also even said when I was reviewing it that it reminded of Other M at times.
Clearly it is a Star Tropics reboot, set 20 years after Star Tropics 2 that is somewhere between Metroid Prime and Zelda in game design with some Uncharted presentation sprinkled in. Mike Jones, all grown up, is a researcher looking for evidence of alien life (who he fought, but no one believes him after all this time). He gets abducted, brought to another planet, and must make an escape.
Excite Bots Trick Racing 2I be game for that ...
Its hard to be excited about Retro's Next project. Fool me ones shame on you, Fools me twice shame on me.
As far as it being some dumb-ass party game crap, I don't think Nintendo's willing to waste one of their biggest assets on another throwaway annual Mario Party installment. Well, certainly not stupid enough to, anyway.
