Prime 3 was awesome!

Where did you get "rail shooter" from? i don't think that's in consideration at all.
yea there's tons of cryptic evidence lying around pointing to what they are making and it all adds up to Metroid Dread. they might still be working on Mario Kart 8 on the side, who knows. i don't think a major Metroid game should even release this year with the current line-up that Nintendo has going. there is no room for it. GC proved that Metroid wasn't the system seller they thought it was, that game needs a built up audience to prove its worth.

Well since Metroid Prime 3, they developed DKCR.
But if you're talking about since DKCR, they have probably been working developing tools for the new console and using those to make whatever game they plan to announce at E3.
Not exactly an easy thing to do.
Also, what studio do you know of with less then 100 people that can pump out 5 AAA titles a year on HD consoles? Hell, name a studio that can pump out 2 AAA titles a year.

I hope its another metroid (more like prime 1-3), I feel like if they create a new franchise, nintendo fans wont support them, because nintendo still want familiar names like mario, metroid, zelda.

Starfox?
What cryptic evidence is there that Retro would be making a supposed Metroid Dread and not, I don't know, some other collaborator like with Other M? Speaking of which, did anyone at Nintendo ever share thoughts on Other M? Any admissions like, "Yeah, the story wasn't well-received, we might try a different approach next time."
That, my friend, was a long time ago. Although it's entirely possible that Retro has split into two development teams.

On sprite based consoles, with technology that carried over well between consoles.

Yeah, at this point, the game's in development hell if we don't see anything.
Rare used to have like 300+ people though. And the amount of people needed for a single project back then wasn't as much as now.
They're about the size of Intelligent Systems/Monolith Soft now. So they have the manpower.
sakamoto works for SPD. they aren't really a main development team, they work alongside oversea studios to develop games. it could still be a game developed by retro studios and assisted by sakamoto's team

I really hope that they are making 2 different game.. Big team for metroid or new Ip.. and smaller for DKCR...

They're working on two games that are one.
First half you play as Samus.
Second half you play as a Metroid.

They should at some point do another Metroid if only because the ending of Part 3 ended on kind of a cliffhanger
For those that don't know
For those that don't know
At the end Samus flies away from the Chozo planet and a large ship comes out of camouflage and starts flying after her

The source of that rumor admitted that he made it all up.

Probably about 2-3 games a year no?
Then look at the dramatic decrease in the GC/XBOX era. Then the XBOX360 era. The amount of staff and cost is just too high.
They are absolutely a main development team, it just happens that they have a huge planning and production group as well. Metroid Fusion, Metroid Zero Mission, Tetris DS, Brain Age, English Training, Rhythm Heaven, Kiki Trick, Tomodachi Collection, Band Brothers, etc are all in-house games. Most of Sakamoto's games are internally developed. Tanabe is the guy that produces Retro Studios stuff.

Retro have 110 (as of March 2013) employees... enough for two game? Im not sure..
Ah, that's right, there was that bit where they showed Sylux stalking Samus all Boba Fett-like.

No but its special attack is the ability to trip.

You see from the Metroid's eye by looking at the gamepad, while on the TV you see from Samus' eyes.

Retro employees' Linkedin accounts only mention one future game, if any at all.

The janitor and the cafeteria lady are included in that.
110+. At least that's how many have signed up at LinkedIn.

Prime 3 was ok, but the first prime was just magical.... anyways Retro FIX THIS SHIT!
Go back to your roots bro! Make Samus human like she was in the first prime, not this anime shit.

just lots of small stuff that adds up. the other: m collaboration didn't work out so well, why try that again? the cryptic hints about metroid dread where he hints that game is being considered at some level. he hints that if it did come out, it was going to be rebuilt from groundup (2D scratched, 3D next?). their recent hires all would work on metroid style art fantastically. when you look at nintendo's current line-up of games, there is a hole in their lineup mix. they haven't funded any games that would conflict with a title like this.
if it turns out to be anything else, i'd be surprised.
is wikipedia accurate in saying they have 60 employees? that seems awful small to be considered a main development team. it looks like a planning subsidiary to me

Hint: Metroid Prime 3 cliffhanger.
Metroid Prime 4. Believe GAF, B-E-L-I-E-V-E!

A) Rare was bigger at that time then Retro is now
B) They dropped from about 4 or 5 titles a year to 1 or 2
Development isn't as easy as it used to be, especially if you want to put out an original product with quality.

You and me both, it doesn't work in Zelda, it sure as hell won't work in Metroid. Idk what Retro was thinking.

I almost stopped playing the game because of it. What a huge, glaring flaw.
