Retro Working On Popular Title For Nintendo HD Console

Since we broke the news that Nintendo was getting set to unveil a new, HD-ready system at E3, tons of news has been coming out about the system. The latest is that Metroid Prime trilogy developer Retro Studios is working on a title for the console.

The Paul Gale Network says it has talked to two different people at the studio who say they were the first developer to get kits for the new platform and they've been working on a title for it that they say is a game that "everyone wants them to do."

Of course, coming off of three Metroid Prime games and Donkey Kong Country Returns, we have no doubt that we'll be excited by whatever game Retro is working on.

While hearing about the new system and the rumors of its functionality is exciting, it's good to hear that Nintendo is lining up things on the software side as well. Earlier this week a report came out that Rockstar has been approached to make games for the system.

very good to hear they are trying to get some big titles behind this new system so it doesn't fizzle out.

I've been waiting. What were we wishing before, Star Fox? Earthbound. I'd like Metroid too.

Holy crap! Nintendo is gonna blow everything out of the water this year at E3.
by Machten Wednesday, April 20, 2011 at 10:54 AM

Rockstar? wow...we shall see the outcome of that one.

If they announce a new Metroid Prime I will squeal like a fat school girl who just found a piece of candy in her pocket.

I hope it's another old Nintendo franchise that hasn't had a game in a few years. Hopefully F-Zero, or Star Fox, or maybe something REALLY old like StarTropics!
by 7idledays Wednesday, April 20, 2011 at 11:03 AM

Please be another Metroid game.

I just hope the software for this new system isn't plagued by shovelware.
by Badwolf1986 Wednesday, April 20, 2011 at 11:10 AM

hopefully they got the metroid reigns back, I couldn't bear to have a metroid like the last one again
by Romars202129 Wednesday, April 20, 2011 at 11:12 AM

Well, I wanted them to do an original IP, but taking from this article they're probably doing another metroid. Not bad news, but come on, how many devs are this restricted?
by Another Matthew Wednesday, April 20, 2011 at 11:13 AM

I cannot wait to get my hands on this system.
by Mray901 Wednesday, April 20, 2011 at 11:15 AM

"Everyone wants to do" huh? Maybe Zelda? Or... perhaps even Mario? Heck, with what Retro has done for Nintendo, I wouldn't be surprised by any huge franchise they're given. With four huge and great games, I'm sure Nintendo trusts them.
by Him Wednesday, April 20, 2011 at 11:19 AM

I really hope that they're making a new Star Fox.
by Ezio Auditore Da Firenze Wednesday, April 20, 2011 at 11:24 AM

I bet it is.......ICE CLIMBERS trololololololo but in all seriousness this probably means another metroid or a starfox.Which btw reminds me of Starfox Adventures and i have yet to understand why everyone hated ot ://// I know it was way different but it was good D:!
by darkbatghost88 Wednesday, April 20, 2011 at 11:27 AM

I want to see another donkey Kong country returns but if it turns out to be something else, I am sure it will be great.
by Craigaleg Wednesday, April 20, 2011 at 11:31 AM

Can Nintendo just go ahead and forward everything Retro's way? Safest bet, really...
by madmaximilian Wednesday, April 20, 2011 at 11:38 AM

It better be more prime. I desperately need something to make me forget about other m. Plus the prime series had some of the best art direction this gen, having all that with more polys and at a higher rez would be glorious!
by John Wednesday, April 20, 2011 at 11:39 AM

I'm not ready for a new console, especially one from Nintendo which "might" be as powerful as 5 year old technology.
by NINTENdude Wednesday, April 20, 2011 at 11:42 AM

I hope retro is working on a new star fox
by slickvicXLII Wednesday, April 20, 2011 at 11:44 AM

I don't know what i would want more. Another Metroid Prime, or another DKCR. both were amazing. either way, im just glad there's something being developed by the awesome team at Retro Studios.
