What is Retro Studios making? That is the question on many gamers minds. For some, they hope to see a great ape return once more.
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
Today, Koei Tecmo announced its financial results for the full fiscal year 2025, related to the period between April 2025 and March 2026.
Really not sure how to feel if Retro are still working on DK. This studio in my mind has earnt the right to make something completely new since they've more than proven themselves. They're pretty much on the path to become the new Rare of Nintendo right now.
Makes me wonder if they're making a 3D DK or something that could be a Mario: Odyssey sized title.
I'd love another Donkey Kong game
Let them do something new
I don't know how you can do another one and keep it fresh. Side scoring games these days are becoming samey
They need to make a completely new ip, preferably something Nintendo lacks.
A genuine coop/competitive shooter in other words. Splatoon is okay but Nintendo could use a little more gritty kind of fps imo that fills that Goldeneye/Perfect Dark sort of void that they've had for years now. If any of their studios could make that happen, it's probably Retro.
I like Retro Studios Donkey Kong titles, though I want them to be more ambitious. I want Retro Studios to become a Monolith Soft by having free reign in making new open world IP's.
