Retro is to me, along with Valve, the only studios that never disappointed me.
Even DCKR, when I though I was disappointed in my first play-trough, after another try I saw the genius behind it.
Whatever it is, it will be mine.

Same. I was dissapointed when I first played through it.
...then I used the AR codes and played through it with my SNES classic controller. OH GOD IT WAS AMAZING
I want Retro to make a Zelda game because they've proven to me that, with the exception of maybe Monolith, they're the best Nintendo team when it comes to creating an immersive setting. And that's been one of my biggest complaints with the recent Zelda games.
If Retro created a Zelda, I have no doubt that they would create a large, believable Hyrule that felt like it was in peril.

i thought we couldn't get a more pointless thread that accomplished less than the wii u ces one but here we are

This! Bring in the Wii U with a bunch of new IP/mascots.
He probably got his inbox and personal messages thing flooded with questions, fan art and fan fiction and deleted it to clean up the mess.

How so?
We've learned that Retro is hiring for an obviously more "mature" (for late of a better word) game from this thread.
That and it's likely a launch period title.

I don't know. We learned someone who worked on Uncharted 3 is now working on a Retro game. Literally nothing happened in the CES thread.

how the fuck do we know that
Hey someone deleted his twitter account, that's something.
New Twitter comment from Retro Studios employee:
“One of my co-workers brought in EVERY season of MST3K! Crunch time is going to be WAY more tolerable this year!” - former Naughty Dog/current Retro employee, Eric Kozlowsky
What project is he talking about though? He didn't work on DKCR as he was still working for Naughty Dog at the time. His portfolio on his resume says he was working on a project for Square Enix after he left Naughty Dog which was from November 2010 - March 2011 but the game isn't listed as being shipped.Apparently, it was a canceled XBLA/PSN game called Dropship.

Maybe we should have a dedicated "Wii-U speculation for non-news" thread.
Wii-U at CES, like everyone already knew about! 1,100+ post topic
Retro Studios is making a game! Who would have thought, eh? 350+ post topic already
Eliza Dushku happened that and the RC helicopter from the french porn actor was pretty rad.

The massive leaps of logic in most topics involving Nintendo are also quite hilarious...maybe people here were being idiots and spamming him with questions and stuff

You hire people for their talents in certain fields.
Hiring people that do more realistic art styles means it probably isn't another DKC.
And "crunch time" means that it's nearing the end of development.
Fantastical

I would actually not be surprised if this is a new IP. It seems like Retro has been working for this for a long time. With Raven Blade and those other cancelled projects, I don't think Nintendo wanted to fund a new IP from Retro quite yet. I hope Nintendo has given them a chance to try out something new.
Then again it could just be Donkey Kong Country 2 for Wii U or maybe even Wii if crunchtime is this year. I hope it's something for Wii U though.

How about we go with realistic expectations.
Before, while and after playing the game!

yeahhhh, I still wouldn't lean too heavily on that branch there, AceBandage. DKC's main aesthetic is the realistic/naturalistic environments(at least for the technology available).

Looks like he's crouched by a train to his right. Also, pretty sure that's Nathan Drake. Gun strap gives it away.

Aside from his awesome desk trinket collection including - Totoro, Sackboy, Brutal Legend merch, Wall-E, Nemesis, an old school Gameboy, Gameboy Micro, a virtual boy, the power glove, drake, some dog tags and a gold Legend of Zelda cartridge etc -- all I could really get out of the image was this:
Looks like a castle. Could be absolutely nothing to do with his work though... he's taken the trouble to cover up the magazine and fold the paper, and basically leave nothing on show so...

What else could "I am responsible for the Metroid games" mean?

what the hell is wrong with all of you
If I were trying to describe Retro Studios to someone who was a gamer but might not know a lot about the actual studios behind the games, the Metroid Prime games would be the first thing I mentioned.
