So, uh, Nintendo? Would it be okay with you if, after December 2nd, you put your most talented and creative second-party studio to work on something...demanding of talent and creativity?

I hear there's this thing called "Metroid" that needs to be resuscitated...
Did you see Other M? Don't poke the bear, you fool!

Heck, I'm pretty sure they've said that they're working on a major (And requested) Nintendo IP right now. What it is is anyone's guess, but I hope it isn't Metroid, they did 3 great games in that series and I'd like to see them tackle something else. I would love to see their take on Star Fox.
Star Fox was exactly what I thought whe I first heard the news.
I see Retro as Nintendo's new Rare, since all four games that Retro has made have some similarity to those that Rare made back in the day (Metroid Prime games were FPS's, like Goldeneye and Perfect Dark, Donkey Kong Country was originally created by Rare and Retro made DKC Returns), and since Rare also made Star Fox 64 and so far Retro has only made games from practically-abandoned pre-existing Nintendo games, it would make a lot of sense for their next game to be a new Star Fox.

Glad to think I'm not the only who thinks Retro should tackle Star Fox. The last two entries (Assault and Command) left a lot to be desired, and the series could do with a Prime-styled reworking.

This reminds me of the huge shift in focus the Need for Speed series got when Underground came out. The first few games (up to Hot Pursuit 2) were about street racing, yes, but they were about street racing on open highways in the middle of nowhere, occasionally going through a small town. Then The Fast and the Furious came out, and so did Need for Speed Underground, which was based around urban street racing and cosmetically customizing your car[footnote]Yes, I know there was always some level of cosmetic customization, but it was a minor background thing until Underground. Game altering customization (spoiler angle and such) is a different story, and was a standard part of pretty much every non-kart based racer on the market at the time.[/footnote]. I still don't understand why they didn't just turn that into a whole new franchise; it was a huge shift.

Anyway, I have a feeling this will be more like the cosmetic items from Virtua Fighter 4's Kumite mode, with the added bonus of being able to use them online, instead of just in local multiplayer, but that's what pops into my head any time I hear about racing games and customization.

Pfft this guy is old news. If some other, lesser know developer said this, everyone would rage agaisnt him. Miyamoto is the Steve Jobs of video games, and that's not a compliment.
1.) I have a pretty damn hard time believing this, especially on a site like Escapist.

2.) Well, I'd imagine it wouldn't be, Steve Jobs is dead.
Jeebus Kripes, dude....

Hey, at least the story was good, and the darkest yet. I almost think that Paper Mario 3d will have to have Mario kill a kitten or something to top Super Paper Mario's darkness. Seriously, that is the darkest Nintendo game ever.
No I think Mother 3 takes the cake on that one, it was a very dark game.
I'll agree to disagree. Mostly because I've only read about Mother 3 and have never played it, like most people out side of Japan.
Your mother dies do to a robo-dinosaur the baddy made cause he was bored.
and you know the child suicide part is also rather dark.

Hey Mr.Nintendo , i have a wonderful idea for you guys.
RATHER then resurrect old games , as much as i'd love to see earthbound 2 or chrono trigger 2 ( i'm not going to include chrono cross as it was too much of a different game to include).
I want a truly new game brought to me by Nintendo.
No Mario , no Metroids , no go-karts , no kongs , something new.
Thats what i want something new.
Erm you know that Chrono Trigger was a Squaresoft game, as in not made by nintendo and has been released on every possible platform since its initial release?

OT: Personally I can't tolerate Nintendo anymore. They chose to make inferior everything and constantly lie(to the consumers and themselves) about the audience they make games for. I don't see why adding customization to your kart would matter shit anyways, everyone knows that the banana peel is the only thing you need to win the game.
