Retro is working on something big and secretive. They absorbed staff from the four listed developers. One of the Naughty Dog devs coming over, Eric Kozlowsky, had this to say:

"I can't talk about it too much but if all goes well it might just be one of my crowning achievements as an artist...."

This is pretty exciting if you ask me. Retro is Nintendo's #1 Western Studio by far (and easily one of their top two or three studios overall) and they seem to be taking on a lot of staff for something big.

First Nintendo handed them the reigns to Metroid, and we got three amazing Metroid Prime titles.

Then they got a hold of Donkey Kong, and we ended up with one of the best games of the generation in Donkey Kong Country Returns.

Later, they did some track design for Mario Kart 7 and I don't hear anyone complaining about that.

So what do you think Nintendo has them working on now?
Star Fox?
F-Zero?
A new IP?

Whatever it is, I'm sure it'll kick ass.

Maybe they've earned a shot a developing the new Smash Bros game(s)? Miyamoto's new IP? They're based in Austin, so I'd lean toward the former.

Of course, I'd just be happy with a new DKCR. A new Donkey Kong game for the Wii U would make me seriously consider purchasing one.

No way they're getting Smash Bros. Masahiro Sakurai and his team at Sora are doing the next Smash after they're done with Kid Icarus Uprising.

Nah man...F-Zero. Maybe you could prop the touchscreen controller up as a rear view mirror or something.

F-Zero is cool and all but i think retro studios should work on something... more epic ya know. They're good with the adventure genre.

Why not let SEGA handle F-Zero WiiU... they did great on the GC one.

Oh, I'd love to see Toshihiro Nagoshi and Shigeru Miyamoto work on another Z-Fero. GX is the best racing game ever made. But Miyamoto is currently working on three projects and Nagoshi has both Yakuza and Monkey Ball to manage.
