"Eric Kozlowsky, formerly of Naughty Dog has said about Retro's new project that "if all goes well it might just be one of my crowning achievements as an artist.""

Tuesday won't come fast enough...

EDIT: good article by the way.

MegaLagann4733d ago

With the amount of people Retro has been hiring lately, I might shed a tear when we see that game Tuesday.

R00bot4733d ago

Their Facebook page is just full of advertisements for jobs. I can't wait to see it!

ZeekQuattro4733d ago

I actually hope they are working on multiple games with all the help they are getting but one great game with suffice as well. I do remember an old rumor that they were making their own game engine so that might explain all the hiring too.

Thanks, I have been looking for that quote all over the place.
"Helpful" Bubble Up.

I remember that-
-this is one reason I never thought that the game would be Star Fox/ Lylat Wars.
A shooter on-rails and in space usually does not take that much power
and would not allow that much artistic creativity (not like an Alien or Fantasy World).

But Like I, MegaLagann, and many others believe... I think Retro has multiple titles.

yugovega4733d ago

unless they made the mix of star fox adventures with good space combat.

CouldHaveYelledUiiW4733d ago (Edited 4733d ago )

@yugovega "Interesting"

Good point-

But they also said that they were making something that "everybody wants" them to make.

I think that the Land Based Star Fox games are very controversial. Some people like them and others don't.

So, I guess it depends on what they mean.

SFAdv was an OK game in the amount that I played.
It took a while to get use to the sticks.

-But it was impressive.

If Miyamoto was serious about RETRO taking over Zelda (someday) SFAdv would be a great starting spot.

kirbyu4733d ago

I.............can't....... .......wait.

mcstorm4733d ago

I agree I am expecting big things form Nintendo as now the console has been out for a few months it has a back cat of some decent 3rd party games and by Nintendo Adding some of there big name games Like Mario Kart, Zelda and maybe even a F-Zero it will help the WiiU sales pickup the latter half of the year.

MegaLagann4733d ago

Pretty much what i'm expecting. More details on games we already know, release dates and release windows. I expect probably one new first party title, that being Retro's game. I also agree that we'll see more third party exclusives and partnerships. Call it a hunch, but I think Atlus has another Wii U game in the works, and since this Direct is broadcast worldwide we could see it Tuesday. I also expect Sega to have more games for Wii U that aren't Sonic, though we may not see the at E3. As for new Partnerships? My guess would be either Capcom or Square. This is Nintendo's time to let all their cards on the table and I hope they do so.

Shinobi1004733d ago

Hopefully the 3DS gets dealt a hand as well

_QQ_4733d ago

10minutes 3ds,40minutes wiiu,10 minutes boring stuff and intro. sounds a like realistic but perfect combination. :D

MegaLagann4733d ago (Edited 4733d ago )

@Shinobi100 @lopez_josue

They already said the Direct on the 11th is Wii U only. My guess is they'll have a separate 3DS Direct the next day like they did last year. And, just a hunch, they will probably have another Direct detailing the Summer update, Miiverse and other hardware stuff.

EDIT: And just think back for a second. The January and April Directs where they announced game after game dropping megatons, those were only 30 minutes and focused on Wii U and or 3DS and Miiverse among other stuff. This Direct on Tuesday is an hour long is all about Wii U games. The hype train has no brakes.

_QQ_4732d ago

@ your second comment, i actually went back to see how long they spent talking about games in the january direct, and the first 15 minutes they spent on miiverse and the next 15 on games, they made like 5 significant new announcements and talked about at least 7 games, now multiply that by 3, assuming they have around a 10 minute intro.

Shinobi1004732d ago

They've never once said that the E3 Nintendo Direct is Wii U only. We already know this for 100% certainty b/c they're unveiling the Wii U & 3DS versions of Smash Bros. 4

MegaLagann4732d ago

Notice how it says focus on Wii U games. If this Direct has 3DS in it they would of said so. Not surprising, they did this last year too. Plus the 3DS is fine, Wii U is the system Nintendo needs to focus on.

kirbyu4733d ago

I hope they announce Super Mario 64 HD.

LOL_WUT4733d ago

Now that would be nice ;)

MrSwankSinatra4733d ago

i really hope they announce a new star fox.

Kevlar0094733d ago

I hope they go with a more serious image. SF for SNES was so cold and badass, every game since has been a bit on the goofy side (even the character models have been cartoony). Less Brawl Fox and more Melee Fox in the art department. Go for that Teen rating, bring back the amputed legs replaced by metal legs.

The name "Hewson" carries a special weight for anyone who grew up during the golden age of British computing. As the son of Andrew Hewson—the man behind legendary publisher Hewson Consultants—Rob Hewson didn't just grow up playing video games; he learned to spell his name from their title screens. However, Rob didn't just rest on his family's 8-bit laurels. From leading major LEGO franchises at TT Games to tackling the high-stakes world of technical porting at Huey Games, Rob has carved out a unique path in an ever-evolving industry. In this candid interview Rob to discussed the burden and beauty of a family legacy, the technical "scar tissue" left by the ambitious Hydrophobia, and why porting a masterpiece like Inscryption to consoles is far more than a simple copy-paste job.

Best 2D, Mario World, best 3D, Mario 64. Can't say there's been a bad one, although Mario World 2 wasn't a true sequel. The Mario Land games were good (not the first one) and also Wario Land. I thought after Mario 64, Mario 3D World was excellent.
