According to Retro Studios’s latest twitter, all of us gamers will be “pleasantly surprised in just a few hours.” (For those not in the know, Retro Studios is the company responsible for making the incredible Metroid Prime series on the GameCube and Wii.)
So, what does this mean? If my E3 timeline is correct, the Microsoft press conference is in a few hours. Will there be a Retro Studios reveal then? And, if so, what will it be? My guess? Well, I would have said a new Kid Icarus or Metroid game, but the “in a few hours” thing really throws me off. Nintendo’s press conference isn’t until tomorrow!
What are your guesses? Get to speculating! Let the E3 madness begin!

Nintendo owns Retro, so I wouldn't jump to any conclusion about the whole "a few hours" meaning that they'll announce something at Microsoft's Press Conference. Because I highly doubt that Nintendo is selling Retro Studio's to Microsoft!
Awww don't jinx it please.
I'm impressed someone finally noticed that Retro Studios exists, apparently even great western hardcore developer gets forgotten just being associated with Nintendo.
If Retro Studios does quit I give you all permission to smash me in the nuts. With a cannonball. That's on fire. Shaped like Samus' ball mode
I'll go to the foundry.
...unsurprised.
