    My favorite Retro Studios game is the first Metroid Prime,it just has that atmosphere and that depth that I don't think any other shooter has been able to achieve.

      @@WatchReDirect Hmm...in my opinion that's unlikely,they announced the development getting re-started this year,but I'll be happy as long as the game is good,no matter how much time it takes,but you can wait if you want.

      @WatchReDirect  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah, that's Metroid Prime 4. I'm specifically referring to the 1st 3 games being brought over to Switch in preparation for Prime 4's release in the future. A lot of signs are pointing to that port being done.

    Does anyone else find it both ironic and fitting that a development team named "Retro Studios" which was bought by Nintendo for the purpose of making a plethora of new, "western" themed games, eventually wound up reviving two of Nintendo's retro, Japanese developed franchises? Like, again, Nintendo originally wanted them to make a number of brand new games for the Gamecube. They weren't supposed to work on only two franchises that were classic Nintendo IP's, and release only 5 games in a near 20 year period.

      If anything I think them putting it in Atlas makes it more likely tbh lol.

      Lol nooooo I mean the DLC would be them teasing the concept. Retro didn't work on Atlas but I can see Nintendo telling Ubi the Star Fox GP concept was in the works at Retro and Ubi used it as an opportunity to cross-promote in a sense.
