Metroid Prime, Donkey Kong Country Returns dev working on Wii 2 game?

Metroid Prime 4 XD

I'm definitely hoping for another Metroid Prime game. Sequel or prequel, either way.

Definetly needs to be new Star Fox title.

I think a new Star Fox, probably revisiting the on-rails days, is pretty likely. Personally, I'm hoping for F-Zero. GX was a very pretty game, and that was seven years ago now.

Why does a new Metroid game have to have the "Prime" tag and follow the trilogy? Maybe they're making a completely new 3-D first person Metroid title. Now that would sell some consoles, and I'd be the first in line...

It wouldn't make sense for them to even bother with the current Wii, now. If the new console comes out as soon as next year it would make much more sense to hold back just a little longer.

"Donkey Kong Country Returns Yet Again"

I'm personally hoping they pick up the next Star Fox or Pikmin. Don't get me wrong...I enjoyed Rare's Adventures and Namco's Assault, but Adventures wasn't a proper Star Fox game (still fun as heck though) and Assault failed miserably in anything that didn't involve Arwings (I loved the flight levels to death...everything else sucked IMHO). Don't even get me started on Command. So if they did the Star Fox... As for Pikmin...I'd be immensely interested in seeing how they improved on the series. Better yet...let them do something original. Hm...the possibilities. I can't wait!

Retro Studios always has good games and shows they can make quality different types of games (Metroid Prime and DK:CR. No shock that Nintendo is having one of their better developers working on new games.

@DanielL5583 Definitely agree. Expand the story!

rpg, I hope its a new rpg

the new wii2 sounds pretty cool but what i want to know is if the romote can have games transfered inside it, does that mean we can take it were ever we go because if you can then what would be the point of making the 3ds when you can play bigger and better games?

Of course they are making games on the Wii 2. What kinda senseless question is that?

If they make another DK game i hope they bring back the Kremlings, include more animal friends, and not make it quite as hard as DKCR lol.

DKCR 2, please. Another Metroid wouldn't be bad either, as long as it plays like the trilogy.

The new Rare, live long Retro Studios!

on the note of Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong 64 3DS /if/ you can't get it on Wii VC (you should be able to, Majora's Mask needed the expansion pack to run and it worked fine on Wii VC) I think a 3DS version would be better though since a 3DS version of Ocarina of Time is comin out

Metroid Prime ended with 3, though a 4th could be possible, if anyone even bothered to 100% the game there's a ship that appears, i'd much rather them make a DKCR2 though, this time with King K. Rool, insert actual underwater levels even if you think they seem slower than molasses, we need somethin that'll be able to show off Project Cafe's capabilites

They move fast... sometimes too much

While I doubt there will be another instalment in the Metroid Prime series, maybe Retro could make the follow-on from Metroid Fusion.

(slaps cheek in surprise) I do like Retro's games though.

@nintendo_Ownes7 I have not had all that much interest so far in Wii 2 but if this game turns out to be Eternal Darkness 2 I will be one of those people who camps out a week in advance to buy this the day it comes out.

Metroid Prime 4 with 1080p, and beautiful graphics, please!

Hell effin yes! This is what the big N needed, developers signing on well before launch. I cant wait to be broke from buying the new console and all the games lol.

i bet the game to go with the second Wii is going to be a new Mario adventure game.

I hope Wii2 (codename) converts my Wii games to Hd somewhat...

This is a no brainer...

HOw about a Halo type Metriod lol

Just need a Suer smash bros in release date and im all good for the rest of the year lol

3 likelyhoods are highest on the latter. Metroid, Donkey Kong, Zelda.

there's also a big chance that it's a 2D zelda game

The newest rumour is Retro Studios is making Eternal Darkness 2. << LINK REMOVED >>

If there is a new Super Smash Bros. I'll get this! I also really want to see a new EarthBound :D :D :D

@Colonel Vodka: you have a point, they could just make another 3D platformer DK. And if Nintendo does still own the rights to the other characters I'd love to see the return of Dixie, Candy, and Funky Kong.

A new DK and maybe I buy the Wii 2.

Starfox and F-Zero, make it happen Nintendo

a new Starfox game?

I wouldn't doubt that Retro would be a company that got development kits first. Still not expecting too much from E3.

As great as the first 3 Metroid Prime were, Retro is sick and tired of making the franchise. Lets do them a favor. A new DK or anything. Lets remember that some key players of Retro left because Nintendo held them against their will. Source: Iwata Ask My guess is that gamers really liked Returns and Nintendo is giving more consideration to Retro. Kind of how SMG had good reactions by gamers, at least that's what Cammie said in E3 09 and Super Mario Galaxy 2 came

Donkey Kong Country is such a great series... keep it up Nintendo/Retro.

donkey kong country 5 please please please ya while their at it get driver 5 ported over and saints row 3 , on top of gta v we be in business

@ZatchSora The reason that happened to twilight princess is because the wii and gamecube were similar in power. if this console is more powerful than either the 360 or ps3 it will completely blow the wii out of the water.

@I dont mean to burst you bubble but thats quite a bit of unnecessary work for nintendo. they should just focus on making these new games great

New metroid would be great. Dice, Bethesda, Retro, and Valve are my two favorite studios around. It trust retro can make a great new game. who knows we could even get an awesome new ip! leave it to retro. Im confident they can make a good one.

Sounds good to me.

Well regardless of how true or false the bulk of these rumors are, its obvious that Retro will do some games on a new Nintendo console. I wouldn't mind seeing them try their hand at creating a new IP, given how well they work within the confines of fan expectations for a season franchise. I would love to see what they would come up with if given free reign.

Although let's be realistic, what would a console as strong as the ps3 or 360 with tablet like controllers sell for? Atleast $800 is the lowest I can think it to be, although Nintendo is known for great pricing & such.

Homahgawd. Metroid Prime with PS3/360ish graphics and like even online against other people like TDM.... Hey man... I can dream.

I haven't got a single doubt that retro is going to make great game.
