Who's the source? Regardless, it sounds like complete speculation and conjecture. It's too easy for these small time websites to make up BS and say they have "inside information."

Edit:

Ok, it's Paul Gale...Eh, I suppose he could have connections. Either way, it's pretty obvious that Retro would be "amongst the first" to receive devkits and that they're making something freaking awesome for it.

A project everyone wants us to do? Wouldn't that have been Zelda or Kid Icarus? Unless they're working on a 2D Meroid. . . Dread

Is that somehow worse than the sources of all the other rumors. Let's go with it for now.

I just hope it's good enough to warrant my purchase. Money is about to become tight over the next couple years. Xbox got 75% of my time out of all three consoles, I'm not buying a 3DS until a new pokemon made just for 3DS and price drop comes out. At this point Wii 2 may be the second ever Nintendo console I don't buy at launch date.

Don't let me down.

That banned Nintendo site that Goes posted the Retro rumor along with the writer's personal opinion on the rumor:

I don't often back rumors with my own approval, but this time I'm more than willing to stick my neck out there. This one comes from long-time site reader/insider/all around good guy JBPG. I'm telling you, take this information a bit more seriously than any other Wii successor rumors out there.

Before anyone says "Paul, who the Hell is Paul and HOW does he have this info", here's a little background info on the man:

Paul said:
On the video game side of things, I currently write for Bitmob.com and continue to contribute to 1up.com, have helped with Electronic Gaming Monthly and Gamers.com in the past, have been in several video game magazines, websites, and TV shows (such as Nintendo Power, **********.com, Capcom-Unity.com, X-Play and Judgment Day, respectively), and have even been made into a character in Street Fighter IV. The Electronic Entertainment Exposition, also known as E3, is a place I have frequented for what 2010 will be my 9th time (the first was back in 2000). And speaking of E3, thanks to it and other similar events over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of meeting dozens of awesome people in the industry. We share not just stories, but many pictures, and all of them will be available on the site, as well as information about each person, as a way to socially connect everyone. One time for instance, I brought my friends Charles Martinet and Tommy Tallarico together at an E3, and introduced the idea of Charles doing his Mario voice at Tommy’s Video Games Live event. Such team-ups would be fun to see and I’m sure that having such a big pool of talent in one place would bring forth all sorts of possibilities.

Good post, informative and filled with interesting sales facts. But excuse me because you are overlooking one important thing.

A Kinect with all the R&D costs, promotion, transport and comissions costs MS 10 U.S. american dollars to make and its sold for a 150 of the same american dollars. So even if MS doesnt sale the same number of units by the end of this generation, i predict they are on track to beat the combined revenues of both the DS and Wii.

You predict that, with Kinect, Microsoft will beat the combined revenues of all software and hardware for the DS and Wii this generation?

Oh my.

Pretty sure last yr Paul guy said MS E3 conference would have several huge announcements after the opening minutes and nothing of that sort come true. He is like HHG but not as vocal or over the top in his delivery.

I don't think it's Zelda, Metroid, DK or Mario. I think it's the coolest Nintendo Game you could work on, and take to the next level.

Super Smash Bros! Man that would be awesome, they could make it more hardcore and true to Melee and take the game head-on. Seems like the right title to be made for launch or a game to come out within a year of the system.

I'm crossing my fingers for Smash Bros.

You've got to wonder if any of the StarFox code is still kicking around in Mario Galaxy.

I had any say in the matter (and of course I don't), I'd rather Retro worked on StarFox than Zelda.

I'm sure Retro could make StarFox relevant again.

Uhh...exactly what "information" is there to be gleaned from those comments? As a first-party studio, it only makes sense that Retro would have access to the early dev kits for their parent company's system, I would find it way more odd if they were clueless about it. And the "something everyone wants us to do" is already proven horseshit because it seems like everybody here at least wants them to do something different. Hell I'm sure someone out there really wants them to make the next Sonic game.

I guess you could ask "what would Retro think the gaming public wants them to make?" but that's also impossible to answer or even really speculate on, aside from it hinting that it's perhaps some popular Nintendo property. Unless they meant that everyone wants to see what they'd do if given the opportunity to make a new core IP. ....Eh screw it, it's a non-statement through and through.

I've never heard anybody clamoring for Retro to do Smash Bros, although I think they'd do a great job. My guess is it's Metroid or Starfox.

Metroid Prime 3 was one of the first games in development for the Wii.

It was actually Retro's insistence that the game was uncontrollable with just the wiimote that lead to the nunchuck.

Right but this said it was something everyone wants. I would think it can also mean that it's a game everyone would want to develop for. Of all the Nintendo IP's that would be one hell of a game to get the chance to make. Everyone loves the series. It has all the Nintendo cast, so the potential is limitless.

Maybe Eurocom is working on something for Wii 2? Goldeneye HD would be cool. Just keep remaking the game every generation.

Apparently, "All the major DKR characters who aren’t Kongs or Kremlings still belong to Rare."


That means no Wizpig


:((((

But if Nintendo would hire David Wise for anything I'd be there day effin' one, baby.
