What is Retro Studios’ Wii U Game?

It’s not long until we discover just what the beautiful people at Retro Studios have spent the last three years preparing for us as Nintendo’s E3 Wii U direct is almost upon us. That said there is still a little bit of time in which to rev the ol’ speculation engines and throw down our most probably guesses as to what Retro is going to wow us with this afternoon (or tomorrow morning, if you're American).

Whatever it is, it better be revealed tomorrow or I'm gonna have a cow.

Donnieboi4736d ago

I know some people want Metroid Prime 4--but I wanna see what they can do with StarFox (a true flight version--no on-foot garbage)

PopRocks3594736d ago

Same here man. Although I'm unsure of it being Star Fox. According to information that people strung together about it, it's futuristic and first person.

Unless they brought back the first person perspective from Star Fox 64... dangit, I'm quite glad I don't have to wait much longer for this mystery to be put to rest.

ChickeyCantor4736d ago

There is nothing wrong with on foot missions. It all comes down to the implementation. I would love to see a battlefield of laser shots flying around. So far the gamecube game didn't do a great job at it.

PerryCaravello4736d ago

I don't mean to kick anyone when they're down... but the nintendo conference is going to suck

: /

Sony won E3.

kirbyu4736d ago

You can't really pick a winner until everybody's done their show.

PerryCaravello4736d ago

Normally I would agree. But come on... come on, come on... come on.

*shakes head*

We know the reality here.

Theyellowflash304736d ago

No we don't know the reality here, Nintendo has plenty of games to show, you'll see. Sony had some good games, but a lot of them were shooters.

Lets see what Nintendo has before you right them off.

dark-hollow4736d ago

No we don't! The only reason the PS e3 was better than the Xbox one are for the same advantages that Wii u already have. Cheaper price and no DRM or restricted used games. On the games front the ms show delivered more.

BullyMangler4736d ago

try this . . go to your bathroom . look in the mirror. . then ask your self . . ask yourself this question . .

"Am I a fanboy?"

PerryCaravello4736d ago

It's reality. You don't need to be a fanboy to see the reality before your eyes.

I'm wondering if you're a bitter microsoft fan or nintendo fan.

Oh well.

deafdani4736d ago

You should practice what you preach, mangler.

Jagsrock4736d ago

oh please, sony did ok. The few exclusives shown looked great but far too much of the show was focused on mulitplat games.The saving grace of the conference aside from KH3 was learning used games will be allowed and the $399 price tag. It was decent don't get me wrong but far from the all out knock out punch most people were expecting. Nintendo still has a chance to make some serious noise by showing of some great 1st party games.

PerryCaravello4736d ago

With the pricepoint Sony has basically positioned itself as the all around console.

Why bother spending $600 on an xbox one, when you can buy our box for $399 AND get all of these games. Your primary system is now PS4.

That was the strategy. I wished they would have shown more first party, but their strategy was obvious. Low price, primary console, multiplats for average consumers become PS4 titles.

Ck1x4736d ago

I think you should really take the goggles off because both confrences from both Sony and Microsoft were (good) but underwhelming! Sony's ended up being better for the sole reason of addressing the whole used games and always on fiasco plaguing Microsoft and for the $399 price. But other than that, they pretty much just reiterated what they've shown in the February showing...

chadboban4736d ago

Sony did great, doesn't mean Nintendo can't do great too. I know the stuff they show might not be for you and that's okay, but that doesn't mean you need to try shove your opinions onto others.

To me there is only one loser right now and that's Microsoft and their DRM policies.

Ck1x4736d ago

To be honest I don't even know if that's fair to say, because after Microsoft's conference they pretty much took Sony's stand on it and said that its up to the publishers now...

swice4736d ago

Nobody is down man. Nobody wants anything, thanks

PopRocks3594736d ago

Imagine I made this comment yesterday.

"I don't mean to kick anyone when they're down... but the PS4 is going to suck"

See? I can be a total ignoramus too.

Theyellowflash304736d ago

How is it going to suck before you even watch it? Just cause Sony had a good conference? And if you want to talk about people being down....how are those Vita sales?

Whymii4736d ago

You can always spot a troll because they never know what they are talking about. This is particularly true with fan boys. Nintendo is not having a conference, however they will be attending the E3 conference.

Nevers0ft4736d ago

Just talking about these press conferences in terms if "won" and "lost" makes it pretty obvious who the losers are - the rest of us just want decent games regardless of platform. Sony had a good conference, it pretty much convinced me to purchase a PS4, but I don't see how that affects what other manufacturers are publishing... Can't they *all* have good games? Wouldn't you like to see them all producing top quality AAA content?

_QQ_4736d ago (Edited 4736d ago )

The reason Sony beat MS so badly was because they had the one up on the price and used games,they don't have that advantage over nintendo, in reality MS showed more exclusive games than sony who only showed 4 or 5 exclusive PS4 games, Nintendo can easily come out over sony if they show enough exclusives. Either way it isn't a competition, especially Nintendo thinks so, yet they manage to make it out on top, you know who wins,i do,you do, we win.

Sony didn't win me.....neither did Microsoft....ALL I need is a Nintendo console.

Review: Metroid Prime 4 Beyond On Switch 2 | Digital Foundry

Retro Studios has built incredible atmosphere, puzzle-solving and environmental diversity. Based on the length of the development cycle, we must assume it's designed primarily around the limits of Switch 1 (we have yet to see that version of the game) so the strategy for Switch 2 is seemingly to supercharge a good-looking game to run and feel even better.

Benn waiting on this game for a lonnnng time.

repsahj178d ago

Yes! And they said that MP4 has top notch HDR effects, if you have a capable Display like OLED or MiniLED.

Neonridr178d ago

man this review makes me so hyped for the game now. Really happy with the overall presentation here. Now I'm debating running the game in performance mode since it looks like only the resolution takes a hit while everything else remains the same. 120fps is tempting.

repsahj177d ago

I will try first the quality then maybe I will use performance after I unlocked the hardest difficulty.

badz149177d ago

so...it's not 4K60Hz haha. they didn't even mention 1440p which makes this a false advertisement.

repsahj177d ago

How did it become false advertising? The game is still being displayed as 4k @ 60 right? They didn't say anything about "NATIVE" 4k @ 60.

Even Naughty Dog said that The Last of Us part 1 is 4k@60 performance mode even though it's also 1440P upscaled, right?

Neonridr176d ago

they never said Native 4K. I guess no PS5 title is 4K either then.

not too bright are you there skippy.

badz149167d ago

GT7 is native 4K and so are many sports games. What do you mean none?

Neonridr166d ago

@badz149 - and GT7 is also a cross-gen title. What 1st party Sony title has hit 4K native since?

Gamersunite880177d ago

Tomorrow! It's almost here! After such a long wait!

repsahj177d ago

My copy arrived earlier today together with my pre ordered AC Shadows that got delayed 2 days as expected delivery! Now I don't know what to play at first, but decided to finish MP4 first.

Gamersunite880177d ago

That's awesome! Prime 4 has been my most anticipated game for years and it's finally out. I can't wait to tear into it.

Metroid Prime Dev "Let Down" As Original Credits Excluded From Remaster

Currently, the original developers are credited via a generic slate.

It's safe to say that it's the original developers who conceptualised and built these games in such a way that they're worthy of a remaster or remake today. Even if they had nothing to do with the new iteration, the dev team behind a remaster would be nowhere without the original vision – and so, the original dev team deserves a place in the credits of a remaster. That's exactly how former Retro studios engineer Zoid Kirsch feels.

Based on the work of the original development team.

That's pretty low..

Double_O_Revan1202d ago

Depending on how long the credits are for the current team, I can see why it would be decided not to essentially double that.

Welshy1202d ago (Edited 1202d ago )

How long or short credits are is irrelevant. Every man or woman who put their time into the creation of anything (tv, movies, animation etc too) should have their names stamped on it, no excuses.

Noone realistically sits and reads every name and actually thanks them, but it's important to the people involved to have it there for what small validation or thanks it brings them. A little thing they can show their friends and family for years to come and feel proud to have contributed to. Kind of like seeing your face for 1 frame in the crowd on TV at a football match and having your own little stamp to show you were there.

Welshy1202d ago

Without those original devs, there is no beloved game to remaster and put new names on. Disappointing Nintendo, do the right thing and patch it in.
