While I would love a new entry in the Metroid Prime series, I'd rather have them tackle a different IP or make a new one.

I too was confused by the lack of AC3D, but then I got to thinking: What if they are holding off until 2013 to release an Animal Crossing title that plays both on the 3DS and Wii U?

I'm not the biggest Prime fan. I kind of get bored of them, and I find them to be rather tedious. I really prefer the 2D metroid titles.
But Prime's scanning and visor mechanics are perfect for the Wii U. Using the tablet controller to scan the area the way sniping works in ZombiU would work perfectly with the series. And of course, in an exploration game that second screen is a perfect place for a map.

I'm kind of thinking that they're working on Zelda. They're obviously excited about the project, so it must be something as big as that. I think that Nintendo has built enough trust in Retro to work on something as big as that.
Metroid Prime is my FAVORITE series in my 24 years of gaming. The Metroid prime Trilogy disc is the best money I've ever spent on something gaming-related.
Yeah, I'll buy anything they make.

i have no intention of buying a Wii-U, but if nintendo announce that retro are working on a new 2D metroid game, i will buy one. /simples
Retro left a clue in NP and said thew new game is anew type of barrel roll. So some speculate it's star fox
Metroid Prime is my all time favorite game. Whatever they're making, they've already taken my money.
I just want Retro and Monolithsoft to teach me how to love again.
I'm sure that what they have cooking will be erection producing magic.

didn't like Prime. But Retro Studios are a great developer. Zelda in their hands could be interesting, especially now that the series has been stuck in a rut for about a decade.
I heard Retro Studios new game is going to be a gritty reboot of ice climbers. 10,000 feet up, the air starts to thin, along with the supplies. Which climber will become dinner on the summit?
It's either one of the following:
1. New Zelda
2. New Smash
3. New Starfox
4. New F-Zero
5. A completely new IP
Regardless of what it is, I can wait. Retro may be relatively new, but I have yet to be disappointed.

I hate to say it, but Metroid needs them more than ever. Although it would be cool to see them tackle making a kick-ass Starfox or something different like a new Startropics!
No it doesn't. Other M was not as bad as so many people god damn claim it was, and I'm really getting annoyed that, 2 years later, people are still riding the hate train. The arguments against Other M have little to no backing and people really just need to shut the Hell up about the whole god damn thing.
On topic, I would lose my shit if Retro was given free reign over a new Zelda title

Starfox kinda makes sense, though I wouldn't mind seeing more Metroid from them. F-Zero is an interesting possibility, I really doubt it's Zelda, and it's definitely not Smash Bros. I wouldn't mind seeing them take a crack at Kid Icarus since Sakurai won't be getting to it anytime soon, so long as it's as epic as Uprising and Retro might be the only Ninty developer who could match that sensibility.
Does anyone remember Runeblade? It was gonna be Retro's first Gamecube game before it was canned in favor of Metroid Prime. Personally, I would love to see that resurrected in some way. It looked awesome.

@Pentagram - Tone it down, bud.
As a game, Other M was a decent Metroid Lite. The intent of the story was also good. That said, the writing was bad and the execution of the story was awful.
Like it or not, its still a low point in the series. Maybe not as bad as Metroid Prime Hunters, but not much better.

Metroid needs them because Other M was a commercial bomb. That game was expensive and was crushed by bad press. It just passed 1 million sales.
If Retro doesn't make a new Metroid, who will?
Sakamoto sure won't after Other M tainted his reputation. And yokoi is dead... So...
Stop assuming people are just ripping on the game when it failing to turn a profit is the real reason.
Do you want to wait for almost 8 years, like with super metroid, again?
No. So calm your Hofmann jets.

Other M was awful. I actually gave it another try last month to see if maybe it wasn't as bad as my initial impressions. But it was still terrible in pretty much every way. It's got decent visuals and that's pretty much the only thing it does right.
Like I said I didn't really like Prime, but it could be cool to have a Metroid game on Wii U where you can use the gamepad as the various visors.
If they made that 2D, I'd actually buy the system for it alone.
Then again, I hope it's Zelda.

Man, Retro Studios has become Nintendo's new Rare. Remember when Rare made nothing but good games solely for Nintendo? Now... they, uhh... they have a new logo?
Man I sure hope Microsoft doesn't buy out Retro and ruin them too.

Rare was ruined before Microsoft purchased them. Nintendo dropped them for a reason.
Microsoft was just getting leftover desserts.

I never liked the idea of "hey. We want to surprise you". Id like to just know now what you guys are doing. If what your doing is any good(retros got a great track record, so it probably is) then it will not matter when i find out. Just tell me. Because right now you just seem like a bunch of dicks.
I'm really hoping it's an all new game.
Nintendo won't do it as they're scared of new games.
Look what they made Rare do with Star Fox Adventures and Good Feel with Epic Yarn.
Nobody would say a bad word against Star Fox Adventures if it wasn't a Star Fox Game. It worked out ok for Epic Yarn but it still would have been great without Kirby.

Surprises are good. I'm sick of tuning in for E3 only to find that I've already seen just about everything they're announcing already. The wait might drive me crazy, but it's a good crazy!
I read a rumor on another site that they're working on a Star Fox/Metroid crossover game. Has that been debunked here already?
I am also pining for a quality 2D Metroid. Tried to get into the Prime games several times but couldn't, and the Wii game was flat out awful. Too much cutscene/whining, not enough game. I occasionally play the old 2D Metroids instead.
I hope if they are taking a existing IP and its not metroid prime 4 a new starfox adventures or a completely new type of startfox games, maybe even a reimagining of battalion wars (forgotten but great game)
I don't remember who said it, but supposedly Retro's game was going to be shown, but at the last minute was pulled because they didn't think it was really ready to be shown just yet.
I think Nintendo fans just need to calm down and relax. They KNOW that there will be Mario, Zelda and Starfox game(s) coming out at some point, just not at launch.

@Toadofsky- A Starfox game is NEVER a guarantee. Even if there is one, it may not be the one they want (even though I happened to like SFA). I'm personally hedging on a new Metroid. There's no better time or opportunity to innovate once again.
Metroid prime is my all time favorite game and the best seller in the franchise, so a sequel utilizing the wiiu controller (zombiiu showed it can be done right), HD graphics (I mean just look at the whole saga, looks better than most wii games, even prime 1 and 2, now with more horsepower) and it surely needs revival after that godawful mess that was other m (seriously, how does it dare to be named metroid?) or bring starfox, both are good enough.
Oh, you guys didn't hear the rumor yet?
It's going to be a fusion of the Star Fox and Metroid universes. The working title is Star Fox Metroid Fusion Saga.
You may now commence cringing.

I don't think it's a Zelda game, though I would love to see a different company get a shot at it, considering Capcom did good with Oracle of Seasons/Ages and Minish Cap. It's probably a Star Fox game, and that would rock! We Star Fox fans need some loving, too!
@GEKKO-Fox
That rumor was actually put to rest by the same site that started it.

It will be one thing that they dangle in front of Nintendo fans all next year while they pander to grandmothers.
