Author Topic: Games That Retro Studios Should Be Developing for the Wii U (Read 52615 times)

It just hit me that Retro Studios has become one of my favorite developers. Now, keep in mind that Nintendo's next home console will be out by the end of next year and that Retro Studios is supposed;y working on something for the console. What could that game be? Well, here is a list of games that Retro Studios should develope for the Wii U:

Star Fox Universe/Armada
A new Metroid game in third person.

Since Majora's Mask was devloped for the N64 a few years after Ocarina of Time, so what if Retro Studios made the next home console Zelda title that took about two or three years to make versus the time it took Skyward Sword to be made.

A sequel to Disaster: Day of Crisis.

Rumor and speculation say that they are making a Star Fox game for the U.

Also I don't want a Metroid third person game, I want some Metroid Prime 4.

Finally, Retro or any other studio should not be allowed to put their hands on Zelda.

I have no doubt that Retro would do an excellent job with Zelda, or any game on that list, I just would hate to see them have to do another existing Nintendo franchise. I could live with Star Fox, because I'm desperate for a new entry in the series and I doubt anyone could do a better job with it than they could, but I refuse to get my hopes up.

F-Zero. Every property they touch churns out solid gold. Put in perspective, the worst game they made was Metroid Prime 2.

The first F-Zero had the graphics but didn't have the hardware power. F-Zero X had the hadrware power but didn't have the graphics. GX had abundance of both and is one of the best games ever made. Just imagine what the wizards at Retro could do with it.

Just thinking of the possibilities makes me hot and bothered

I want to see them create a new IP. Its time to think outside of the box.

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #6 on:** December 02, 2011, 10:37:08 PM »

I also want to see a new IP, but if they're going to reboot another Nintendo franchise it had damn well better be Star Fox.

Yeah either it's Star Fox or something brand new. Now that they are done with Mario Kart I would like some hints or interviews to peak my curiosity.

Chozo Ghost · « **Reply #8 on:** December 02, 2011, 10:48:04 PM »

Be careful what you wish for. You might end up with Star Fox Adventures 2.

Retro is a better developer than Rare ever was, let alone the Rare of 2002. The only studio in the industry right now I'd even consider putting ahead of them is EAD Tokyo, and they haven't shown the range Retro has. As long as Nintendo doesn't micromanage too much, I have total confidence in whatever they're making without knowing a single thing about it based on their output so far.

I think nintendo should work with retro on zelda, it would be nice to see the franchise take a fresh start after twilight princess and skyward sword, and retro has proven that they can do excellent work. i really enjoyed skywardword which i beat today after 38 hours, but i want something different from the franchise something totally new a la Ocarina of time back in 98 and windwaker in 03.

Going with new IP as well, so far Retro doesn't have one and I think it's about time Nintendo lets them create something new.

ThePerm · « **Reply #12 on:** December 02, 2011, 11:25:03 PM »

yeah, no brainer. New IP Whatever they want to make. Nintendo should give them a huge budget, they are a proven developer.

I want Retro to make whatever game they want to create, because as Donkey Kong Country Returns shows, they do their best work when they get to decide what project to take on.

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #14 on:** December 02, 2011, 11:36:56 PM »

Yeah, I suppose I'll make the slight adjustment and agree with Mop it up; Retro should have their choice of projects. If they want to do a new IP they should absolutely be allowed to, but if they want to do Star Fox then that's fine too.

Maybe they are reviving Raven Blade.

Freespace 3

I can't wait for E3 when the "Stop it, kytim" rule goes into effect. A sequel to Disaster: Day of Crisis? What the fuc...

As a matter of fact, Insano should edit his first post to say just that;

Stop It Kytim

i would have made a thread just like this in 2005

Kytim89 · « **Reply #20 on:** December 03, 2011, 02:25:42 AM »

I created this thread as a way for us all to communicate on one of our favorite developers and to discuss what we want from their next title.

Caterkiller · « **Reply #21 on:** December 03, 2011, 02:29:59 PM »

I think Zelda took a great turn design wise and control wise. Feels more like Metroid now so I don't think Retro's talents are necessary there.

I know they are catching wind of the types of things people are saying about them. "They can revive any franchise" is probably being heard throughout their studio. I wonder if it is having any affect on their decision process on what to do next? Though I have to wonder that what ever they are planning wont be around for a very long time if they just finished with Mario Kart. Actually I take that back, they made a million or so DK stages in such a short time after E3 and when the game actually came out. In Retro I trust.

I just had a crazy thought that'll never happen ever but still fun to think about.

What if Retro made......

EarthBound?!

Chozo Ghost · « **Reply #23 on:** December 03, 2011, 03:36:51 PM »

Retro should make an M rated FPS game that can compete with the likes of COD, Halo, Killzone, etc. When you look at the Prime series you see that's the sort of game they like to do and are good at doing, but Metroid (nor any other existing franchise) should not be hijacked for that purpose. A new one should be created completely from scratch and with Retro behind it there's no way it could go wrong.

nickmitch · « **Reply #24 on:** December 03, 2011, 05:57:33 PM »

Miyamoto did say that he could make Halo. Maybe he should. A big console exclusive FPS that shows off the online would be pretty big.
