According to Retro Studios recently-created Twitter, they will be revealing or announcing something later today.

This will most likely be the game they have been working on since Metroid Prime 3 wrapped up in 2007. It is unknown what it is, but there has been a rumor that it could be a new Legend of Zelda game.

Below is the Twitter post in its full entirety:

"We think you guys will be pleasantly surprised in just a few hours "

EDIT: This appears to have been a hoax.

Why is this a blog entry and not a news post?

My heart skipped a beat. Like I seriously had a similar reaction to seeing this on the front page as I have had when falling in love. That's kinda fucked up.

But it just goes to show that Retro is where it's at for me with Nintendo. They're the devs I have the most faith in. I'm very excited about all this. Just the existence of this makes this E3 better than last year's.

What news? It doesn't even say they are working on a game. Maybe Retro Studios will tell us something like Metroid Prime Trilogy will have multiplayer, or that the head of Retro is gonna have a baby.

Retro is making Metal Gear for DSi

NEWS: Retro Studios teases via Twitter. "We think you guys will be pleasantly surprised in just a few hours

" blah blah blah

Point is, it's more news than it is a blog. Dear diary, today I woke up and ate cereal. I like Nintendo games. I hope I get asked to the upcoming dance.

Don't kid yourself, you'll be disappointed no matter what is revealed.

Also in regards to Retro making Zelda, IGN stated that they may have been making it (which really isn't that far fetched considering NIntendo has let 3rd parties develop Zelda games) but it was taken back by Nintendo. Hopefully while they had it they were able to create a unique battle system with Wiimotion plus.

IGN also said that Factor 5 was making Kid Icarus and/or Pilotwings, which is obviously BS as they would still exist if Nintendo was funding that.

Would I trust Zelda to Retro?

Yes I would, but its still a crazy question. Personally after Metroid I would give Retro almost complete free reign and pick of any franchise. If you were Retro would you choose Zelda? Personally, I wouldn't. I would rather have the chance to re-invent a franchise like Kid Ikaris or something like that.

But, at the same time an American developed Zelda has me excited because I think it would make many of the advances Zelda needs to make to be fresh again.

As did other sources (and chances are it was but only in beta form that we were going to pitch to Nintendo) it happens ALL THE FREAKEN TIME where games are dropped and are not picked up by anyone. Besides that artwork had Factor 5's fingers all over with with Man Icarus. But I'm not going to go any further with this childish IGN bashing, and I pity those that think they actually lied about it, because you do realize that as much as you may hate Matt or Mark they have pretty strong connections in the industry.

ANYWAY, whatever Retro is working on now I am automatically interested in!

I doubt it'll be Zelda or Mario or something, I hope it's their own IP and not some stupid forced sequel to an ancient game that gets nothing but baggage from the IP.

Connections or not, a journalist has something to gain from lying, namely site traffic.

Anyway, the result of this announcement won't reach me until tomorrow afternoon (that's early morning in PDT...) anyway.

Raven Blade.

They've been asleep for a week and they're going to reveal...Metroid Prime Trilogy!

Retro twittered, "Just A Little Bit More" about 15 minutes ago.

Caterkiller · « **Reply #19 on:** June 01, 2009, 06:10:17 PM »

Raven Blade... man! I wan't them to make the next Kid Icarus, but what ever they are doing, i'm sure most of us will eat it up.

When they say pleasantly surprised it gives me the impression that it is an existing franchise. I don't know, its just the way its stated.

kraken613 · « **Reply #20 on:** June 01, 2009, 06:12:06 PM »

I think retro's Twitter might have crashed, or taken down. It says for me invaded URL when I was able to see it 5 minutes ago.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #21 on:** June 01, 2009, 06:24:20 PM »

Did anyone ever confirm that the Retro Twitter was even a Retro twitter?
