Go on Next-Gen now! That's to say this.

On the left, Retro Studios is hiring!

ss

So what do we know about this game?

Summary of Requirements

  • Extensive knowledge of Nintendo Games
  • Familiarity with Nintendo game development process preferred
  • Experience with Japanese game development methodologies, principals and environments. Experience successfully leading large groups of development staff
  • Knowledge of all video game hardware and software, both past and present
  • Solid experience with video game platforms and PC's
  • Basic understanding of overall game development processes including art, animation, design, software engineering and programming required
  • Strong proven leadership and organizational skills
  • At least 7 years' game design related experience required
  • Must have completed at least one production cycle leading to shipped where game directing was primary responsibility

Did you see that? Retro doesn't mess around.7 years of experience?

At least we know it's a Nintendo game.

Retro, please make another Metroid Prime-esque game. They're awesome, but maybe a different franchise with the same treatment. First Person Adventure link ftw?

I imagine they would have started their last project quite a whil ago. the stuido is resonably samll and so will need to keep doing projects to stay is business. As they are owned by Nintedno i would thing they would have been planning and preparing their next game since the release of corruption. I hope its a wii game not a DS one that they bring out next

I'm guessing that's not a new IP, rather, a Nintendo IP.

Though, it could be a new Nintendo IP.

As long as it's not a Metroid game I'll be happy

They took pages right out of Rare's "How to kill a Nintendo franchise by doing the same exact thing over and over and over" book.

Plus I think Nintendo got sick of visiting them and telling them how to do the title, I doubt Nintendo wants to babysit them again.

Even if it was a New IP it would still be a new Nintendo IP since Retro is Wholly owned by Nintendo meaning everything Retro Studios does has to go through Nintendo first.

They are hiring someone new too develope a game?

That can only mean they will make a quick buck on a game where quality doesn't really matter, considering that they don't want too use any of their more valuable directors for it.

Wrong they are hiring because their Senior Director quit to go to another company and their Cheif Engineer died in November from Cancer at the age of 43.

I'm not being defensive, I could care less if it goes to the PC as long as I can still play it if it's good. I'm making a discussion because I thought that's what you do in System Wars.And the possibility doesn't remain because Nintendo owns Retro

Its wholly owned by Nintendo but I do think their could be a possibility because Nintendo made some PC games (reckon bad PC games) but still PC games, also Nintendo lets there companies do some crazy stuff like Brownie Brown is wholly owned by Nintendo aswell but the only games they made for Nintendo was Magical Vacation, Magical Starsign, and Mother 3 (in Conjuction with Hal Laboratory) But they made Sword of Mana and Heroes of Mana for Square Enix (even after being owned by Nintendo) and they are currently making Blue Dragon Plus for Mistwalker.

I guess, they did let a Zelda game be developed for the Philips CD-i, so anything is possible. I still doubt it.

You realize that games are deved via PC right? They don't make games with Wii's. All games are developed via a computer. Retro is owned by Nintendo and Nintendo isn't really making PC games.
