There have actually been quite a few strong rumors regarding a UK studio working on Metroid. A lot of conflicts regarding the specifics (what studio, are they fully developing or co-developing, 2D or 3D, even what platforms) but the commonality to all of those rumors seems to be an outside developer is working on Metroid.
Ah yeah I've seen it in the Mario x Rabbids thread. I guess people can't believe Nintendo actually have some games done after 2 years of very little content releasing on the Wii U.
Yeah, I'm really in a way of "I'm glad Nintendo is making these games/porting these games and doing a good job with it all and it is working out for them and a large part of their audience, but I'm not quite into it all." And yes, I think they are launching Switch right, especially with MH coming up to take advantage of the audience they are building.
Like with Splatoon I was super happy that they had a new IP taking on a new (for them) genre and doing so in a fresh way that resonated extremely well with the audience but never passed beyond this vicarious enjoyment of its existence.
Get your tissue box.
I'll have mine ready too in case they show Metroid.
This.

I'm feeling it.
AAA Metroid from Retro will be the 'mic drop' trailer that ends Nintendo's presentation. Like the BotW trailer at the Switch event.

Don't do this to me.
I felt a shiver go down my spine just imagining a trailer on that level for a AAA Retro-made Metroid.
But Nintendo doesn't do mic drop presentations intended for 30 people on GAF?
Hmm, since I'm still very much new to Switch, I haven't gotten a pouch/case and don't know which one is quality, but I've been looking at two different ones. This one by AM Case and another from Orzly. That said, I am primarily looking for one I can have in my backpack while walking about, so it doesn't necessarily have to be a hard shell.
PS: Do we have a all things Switch OT, kind of like what Sony and Microsoft?

I can vouch for the Orzly, solid case. You have a screen protector right?
I bought an Orzly screen protector which should have arrived yesterday but didn't, so it'll probably reach my destination soon. I would honestly like a lightweight soft pouch I can have in my backpack, because I'm not gonna cary around the Switch back outside of my backpack.

Man they HAVE to announce it this year. They know we all want freaking HD Metroid Prime. These guys aren't idiots.
When has Nintendo NOT given us what we wanted in regards to another game in a popular series? We saw HD everythings on WiiU except for Metroid. This is their charge shot. They know we want it.
It'll be the one 2018 announcement.
Man your optimism is admirable.
Hence why I pitched what I did earlier. They saw the reaction to Tropical Freeze and theoretically realize that anything but Metroid will get people upset.

i dont want another metroid prime made by retro, I want a new Ip

You know, I'll compromise: Just give us Metroid Prime Trilogy HD on Switch. Then Retro can do whatever it wants. I don't need a new Prime game, the old ones just remastered in HD would make me more than happy.
Donkey Kong Country!! Yeeeeah! Tropical Freeze is in my Top 3 GOATs. I wouldn't be sad for a second if we got another DKC

I'd be down for a 2D Metroid by Retro, but I agree about not wanting them to do another Prime game. It seems like a decent amount of the team behind those games left anyways. Both Comcept and 343 like to talk about how they have staff from the Prime team working on their games.

Much appreciated! You have no idea how many times I've asked about that without getting a response. I'd still prefer they step away from Prime 4 unless they have awesome ideas for the series. I have no interest in them doing another Prime game just for the sake of doing it.

While RETRO has become this mythical "what are they working on now!???" studio, I've been feeling a bit down on them. The Armature departure resulted in two studios that can't make a good metroid.
Taking a whopping 3+ years to make DKCTF is a bit concerning too especially since it sounds like they needed a ton of help from Monster Games which is now making Nascar games.
I don't really know what they're capable of now. Don't know if they can make a new Metroid, don't really care about them making a new IP just because "OMG, NEW IP", and a 3rd DK game would be very very boring unless it's a 3D one...which would've been more exciting if Mario Odyssey wasn't coming out this year
Not much longer till we (likely) see it. If not then that Studio is probably in some big trouble since it has been 3 years and 4 months since their last game came out and they used to say that they were a studio putting out a game every 3 years.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
After DKC Tropical Freeze, I'd gladly take another from them.

I really don't think they are in trouble, whether they need help or not to push these games out. The reservation is understandable due to the points you listed, but when I look over their track record between Prime Trilogy + DKC Returns games, it's hard to deny the quality. No matter how long it takes or how many people are involved, their end products have always delivered in my opinion. The studio has proven itself, and I hope enough so to enable them to drop a new IP. We will have to see.

When did he say that? Last year's E3?
No, sometime shortly after the Switch was revealed (that January conference).

I guess the "they've proven themselves" is the issue I have. Armature hasn't made a good game in nearly the decade they've been open, but they took enough of the MP leads that it might be the reason why that spin off franchise is dead and why we haven't had a new Metroid game in so long.
I do think they can still make good games, just feel they might be a bit overhyped until proven otherwise.

Seriously Retro's game has to be there. I will take Donkey Kong again over not showing anything. 2 games would be awesome perhaps that is why they took so long to reveal it. Maybe Donkey Kong Banana warfare and Freeze 2. Yellow cartridge looking like a banana. Life time banana supply if you pre order both games. Make it happen Nintendo
Have you played Tropical Freeze?
Yeah, I beat it. I don't really remember anything memorable about the villains, and K. Rool wasn't the villain.
Well neither were the Tikis.
The tikis weren't in Tropical Freeze

K. Rool is only memorable because he's the first villain. Other then that's he's honestly a pretty lame.
I liked the Snowmads better design wise, but some of them were boring. They did have better theme music tho.

Retro Studios has done nothing but make good games. Their last game was one of the greatest 2D platformers ever made. I have no idea where this bizarre mistrust is even coming from.
