Where Does Retro Go From Here?

Retro Studios has proven time and again that they are more than capable of making fantastic video games, especially those that appeal to a western audience. They are the creative minds behind the Metroid Prime series, as well as the remarkable Donkey Kong Country Returns. Although many rumours are swirling around the internet as to what game they are actually working on, it’s safe to assume that with it being Metroids 25th year anniversary in America; that they will be announcing something Metroid related at E3. The only question that remains is where does Retro take Samus from this point forward? Warning: contains story spoilers for the Metroid franchise.

They haven't outdone Rare's output of titles when Nintendo owned the company during the N64 days, but their quality of software (Retro Studios) is easily comparable.

dark-hollow5076d ago

I think imo that retro is way more talented that RARE ever was.

metroid prime 1 on the gamecube still one of my favorite games of all time.

MacDonagh5076d ago

They can go wherever they like. If they can somehow banish the memory of Other M which they are very capable of doing judging by their output; fans and Nintendo alike would be very thankful about it.

LoaMcLoa5076d ago

C'mooon, Other M wasn't that bad...

Just a bit.. Ok, very silly

blu_yu_away5076d ago

Retro had nothing to do with Other M, at all. That was Team Ninja.

MacDonagh5076d ago

Oh yes. One cannot help but be very aware of how different the execution of the Metroid Prime series is compared to Team Ninja's effort on Other M. It was character assassination at it's finest and it's no wonder why Nintendo is so reluctant to allow another studio to develop their in-house franchises.

These broke cities skies like butane on my skin,stolen from my eyes,hello angels,where are you?where do we go from here?

U.S. patent examiner rejects Nintendo’s summoning characters patent as obvious: non-final ruling

The rejection is non-final (and even when such rejections are labeled as “final”, the process is far from over, given that there can be, at minimum, an appeal to the Federal Circuit).

Good, as they should! A game mechanic like that shouldn't be locked behind a patent, and Nintendo didn't invent it either.

PRIMORDUS22d ago (Edited 22d ago )

Nintendo wants to keep wasting money on bullshit lawsuits, real smart in this economy. They should put that money aside for other game projects. On the other hand, I don't care if they waste it all either, and they are screwed in the future maybe that will teach them a lesson.

Well dayum lol. Old agent orange pissing off every industry and nation.

0hMyGandhi47d ago

The fact that you have ANY disagrees will forever baffle me. And to the (apparent) MAGA contingent that exists on this website, enjoy your 8-9 dollar gas.

AuraAbjure47d ago (Edited 47d ago )

Yes, they had better be pissed after Trump told them the way they rip off the USA is over.

EveryPlatformGamer48d ago

LOL I read this on gaff, will they refund the money back to the gamers? highly unlikely. Didn't they just raise prices and pass it onto the gamers? Only Nintendo would send out the Ninjas to the US government.

-Foxtrot48d ago

That’s what I was thinking, imagine them winning hypothetically, getting a s**t load of money back which they would have lost if they hadn’t raised their prices and it’s business as normal.

It would just mean people paid more for no reason since they got the money back anyway.

Outside_ofthe_Box47d ago (Edited 47d ago )

A lot of companies partially passed the cost to consumers instead of all of it. They would still have to at least pay that back to gamers, but we know that won't happen. What's also sad is that prices won't come back down after the initial hike caused by tariffs.

People didn't understand the full repercussions of tariffs. That alone should have cost him the presidency if people knew it was a permanent price hike for consumers

Inverno48d ago

The people should sue these companies for having to over pay cause of these tariffs.

Eonjay48d ago

Naw they should sue the government for forcing the tax to begin with. No one reasonably expects these companies to absorb the taxes. Many smaller companies tried and were shut down or faced to increase prices to try to maintain their business. The tariffs effect everyone.

Inverno46d ago

I meant it mostly as a joke cause we all know the costs of these tariffs were passed onto the consumer. But it's seems no matter how vocal we are here in the states our "representatives" don't seem to care enough to represent us. And things are about to get worse.

Killer2020UK47d ago

The companies were doing what the law required then to do, the tariffs however were illegally implemented. Usually it's criminals we punish, you seem to have different ideas 🤷‍♂️
