a new animal crossing or paper mario(pls be RPG) would make me so happy. I don't think retro will announce their game this year. They usually take 3 years for each game. Maybe a little teaser.
Do you guys know how much time did super mario 3d world took to be made? Hayashida was the director for 3d land and that came out in 2011.

I actually expect Retro to make another Donkey Kong Country game to make it another trilogy. No new Metroid for another few years IMO.

50/50 is about right. Either they announce it or they don't.
Seems more related to the system it's on than the game itself. The first one sold a lot of copies, but it was on the Wii.

Nothing they make will be hot sales wise on the Wii U. DKCR will be their top seller for a god while.
Returns on Wii and 3DS sold really well. It is probably more of an ailment of the platform than anything. Releasing so close to 3D World probably didn't help either.
Anyway, unless their next game was another DKC then I doubt we would hear from them so soon.
I want to see them work on a 3D Donkey Kong badly, but another DKC is never bad news.
Yeah I mean nay Metroid game announced would be a 2016 game at this point.
But I disagree, I think DK fatigue is setting in and Retro will make something else.

Because just about the only area in which Nintendo outdoes all the other people making health and fitness electronics products is the decades of game design experience. Because of this, it feels incredibly natural to assume that a large portion of whatever QoL product they are scheming up involves adding some degree of gameification to try to motivate people to be healthy. There are already services like the website Fitocracy that add experience points to workout tracking. Ideally, an actual game company could make game-like motivation elements more meaningful than any random web developer ever could.
This train of thought, on top of stuff like wii fit and to a much lesser extent Wii Sports, is the only way that the decision to try out a QoL product seems in any way like a natural outgrowth of the business Nintendo already has. Perhaps Nintendo really is just branching out into an industry where they could actually leverage their game design experience without actually doing so. However, until it's definitively proven that Nintendo is just crafting a random piece of consumer electronics after decades of making only entertainment products, people will continue to assume that QoL will resemble Wii Fit on steroids and acid in the fifth dimension.
I don't think Retro is making another
Donkey Kong. Even considering the platform it's on it feels like Tropical Freeze did rather poorly. The reception was good but not great, though the game is still beloved by many.
I don't think they're making Metroid, either. I'm guessing new IP on upcoming hardware in 2017.
f*cking

They also managed to screw up everything leading to its release. Like Cranky Kong. Reggie showed up at VGX to announce Cranky motherfucking Kong.
I'd love Retro to make a DKC trilogy, but people would get all salty over it.

Also the possibility of another Wii U remaster announcement, ala Wind Waker HD.
Back in August, there was someone who claimed that there was supposed to be one released this year. Guess we'll find out soon enough. Or not.

I just want to see more of retro to be honest. At the end of 2014 i sent them a happy holidays message on their facebook page and they responded me! =D
I don't care if it's a new donkey kong, metroid or something else, i need more of retro studios in my life =(

There is no need to make it a triology on WiiU or in general. They can revisit it on a later console or leave it be.
This. I'd jump for joy if Retro announced another new Donkey Kong but the internet just doesn't seem to want it. You guys got a Metroid trilogy, can't DK get one too?
I'd rather Retro expand and make Metroid and DK.

If we're getting ANY XCX stuff for the US/EU stream, it's going to be english footage and voices at most. A release date would make more sense to announce it at E3.

Couldn't be bothered checking if already posted but Nintendo Australia sent me this. Hype??
Emphasis on new announcements.

The QOL and treasure co-developing star fox with EAD is nonsensical and shitty speculation dude. Why the hell would EAD hire treasure? For development muscle? For their expertise in 3D HD graphics? For the their ability to meet tight deadlines? EAD is developing the game not treasure and not platinum.
They said when they announced the game they were looking for a development partner.
That changed. Its a EAD title now.

This is somewhat unrelated, but is there any threads on GAF to trade Club Nintendo stuff before April 1? I have a SML2 (3DS) download code to trade and I want an unregistered Smash 3DS code for the Mewtwo DLC.

It's Alison Brie dude. I'm disappointed. Show some respect.
Well, as poorly as Tropical Freeze did compared to DKCR, it still did over 500k. It's probably one of the top 10 best selling wiiU games.
But I think they kind of maxed out what they could do with a 2D platformer. We just don't live in a world where 2D platformers need trilogies anymore. Tropical Freeze was the perfect realization of DKC and what they can do with that formula.
To make it interesting, they'd have to really shake up the foundation.
I highly doubt they're working on a DKC. To be honest, a new Metroid Prime sounds about right and all the hints have been there. I can see it being teased at e3, with a late 2016 release.
Miyamoto mentioned hiring outside agencies to help finish the game. There's a million and one agencies in Tokyo that specialize in that. Treasure is definitely not one of them.
From what I've seen in NPD threads, DKCTF didn't perform as badly as people say. I mean, it really underperformed compared to DKCR but I wouldn't be surprised if it's the best selling Wii U game after the Mario/Zelda heavy hitters. It probably sold on par or better than Hyrule Warriors.
Or at least the japanese release date!

No way, I'm sure Retro left a bunch(hehehe) on the table they didn't use for Tropical Freeze.
Plus dose animal buddies!!!
It's a fun prediction thread. If his post is nonsensical and shitty speculation, you must truly despise 90% of the other predictions.
I don't believe this is confirmed unless you have a source. Of course EAD is working on it, but Miyamoto said they were looking for a development partner last e3, and nothing anyone has said has changed that.

Hmm don't think xenoblade x will be there as the director's wife did not retweet Nintendo this time.
You'll get another presentation from that game soon as they have been coming.

no, Hyrule Warriors definitely passed it
and there is nothing of note aside from Nintendo Land and Wii Party U (both which beat it) after the Mario/Zelda games, so...

It would be weird for it not to show up since its so close to release in Japan.Hmm don't think xenoblade x will be there as the director's wife did not retweet Nintendo this time.
The odds are either 0 or 1 at this point. The decisions been made

I think this is it.
I mean, seems like they intentionally left those bookended spaces on the menu.

It's had monthly streams dedicated to it, with another one this month focusing on one of the major elements of the game (mechs/DOLLS)

The only data i could find is 130k for the first eight days. and 35 k first week on Japan.
We're likely not getting anymore dlc for Mario kart 8 after this. It's been a fun run.
