I mean if they weren't so insular and secretive and actually communicated with fans occasionally, people probably wouldn't have to stalk them.
Lmao.

I loved the hell out of Tropical Freeze, so whatever Retro is up to is perfectly fine with me.

That website is missing the dancing baby, rotating flaming 3D skull and some <blink> tags.
Retro, I love you guys and I know you're not web developers, but goddamn, get some wordpress or blogger templates. I'll update the site for free, just tell me you're working on something other than Donkey Kang.

Nintendo fans get desperate for information on any new games, especially from quality studios like Retro.
I'll never forget the desperation I felt when I was a GameCube-only gamer. I loved the system and it had some great games, but man the wait for new games while you watched PS2 and Xbox get so much more was painful. I imagine being a Wii U-only owner can't be much better.
I don't get this.
They should talk about their games before they are ready to announce them?
Jesus fucking christ. For real.

Donkey Kong Country: Jungle HijiNXs, please.
You mean awesome, right? Because that would be awesome.

DKCR/3D was already great. Fans of certain series just get up in arms when they are missing an iteration and want a dev to work on that instead of something else. I think plenty of fans who enjoyed and appreciated DK and knows the MP devs aren't at Retro anymore would be less quick to freak out over DK.

Plot Twist: Retro Studios is working on a new DK game, but Nintendo contracted Armature and Bluepoint to make a new Metroid Prime.

Plot twist!: Retro is hacking all our shit now.
Second plot twist: the next DK game is a Metroidvania.
Jeez that'd be an epic troll....
They should be ready to announce them earlier. It's been two years since Tropical Freeze and we still have no idea what they're working on next. Most studios these days would not only have announced their next game by now, they'd probably be gearing up to release it within the next few months.
I just hate how it goes with every Nintendo studio: "Here's a game. It's releasing within the next year. Then you won't hear from us again until our next game is less than a year out from release, which will be like three or four years from now."
Except Aonuma's Zelda team. With them, it's more like, "Here's a game. It's releasing within the next year." 12 months of radio silence. "Jk, it's releasing next year." 12 more months of radio silence. "Jk, it's releasing next year."
The only person at Nintendo who really seems to at all get how to maintain communication with fans throughout a game's development cycle is Sakurai, and he's not even technically "at Nintendo" anymore.
And I'm not even asking for a Sakurai-esque daily update website where nearly everything about the game is revealed before it comes out. Just a monthly or at least bimonthly, "Hey, we're still alive and working on the game!" update or something. And even in the time period between the release of the previous game and the announcement of the next game (which, again, should be significantly shorter than two years), they could find some way to acknowledge and involve fans. Like Volition, they haven't announced the game that they're currently working on yet, but they still put out a weekly stream where they play games and have fun. Not that Retro or Nintendo in general should necessarily directly copy that approach, but I'm sure they could find their own way to acknowledge and involve fans.
We're spying on you!
