Yes please, Metroid Prime is one of my top 10 games ever made. Retro must work on a WiiU Metroid so the series can enjoy the near perfection again. The article hints at Epic Games handling metroid, and that seems bogus. The art looks nice.

I do want to see Retro try third person. Have you guys seen the images where they portray characters of various games including Samus. I supposed is rendered with UE, but I thought Samus looked pretty good.

There is a difference between using Unreal Engine ( from Epic) and hiring Epic to do your job.
Metroid prime was done on Unreal 2 engine I think.

"Metroid prime was done on Unreal 2 engine I think."

First I've ever heard of that, lol. If Retro was able to get 60fps out of that engine at that time and looking as great as it did, then Retro are VERY talented devs, even more-so than what they've been given credit for. But I doubt that that series was running on that engine...

ChickeyCantor4380d ago (Edited 4380d ago )

Well apparently it was a heavily modified engine of UE2.
When developers buy the complete pack, with source included it's usually bound to be modded.

That just... wow. Let's start off by saying that this fellow is a killer artist.

Next, I'd like to say that a Metroid game that looks like that would be nucking futs.

Jio4380d ago

Metroid Prime is one of my favorite game series of all time.

PerpetualMathx104380d ago

although i haven't supported Nintendo since the days of N64,which was a killer system very fond memories! i am truly excited to see the Wii U this E3 and hopefully Nintendo unveils some really quality games, because if they make a Metroid game with this style that's the direction id like to see Nintendo take its first party games back towards the hardcore gamer.

Great news it shows that Nintendo intends to continue developing ports of AAA games to its next gen platform

Buying studios from embracer now is a great deal, they must be dirt cheap at this point, Nintendo is a opportunist, they wait until someone fall so they get their best deal

OtterX4d ago

That is some serious brain gymnastics you have going on there. 🤔

H94d ago

I didn't do any gymnastics I can assure you, honestly I don't know why you think that, not hating I seriously don't see why you think that

ZeekQuattro4d ago

Yeah I don't know where that came from. It's rare for Nintendo to flat out aquire studios. Guess they were trying to be edgy but why flex on this studio. 🤣

Kneetos3d ago

At least they are safer from layoffs with Nintendo then any other company

banger885d ago

I hope someone buys Piranha Bytes, their future isn't looking good right now. I love their RPGs, they're janky as f***, but they have heart and soul.

Nintendo saw the Mortal Kombat 1 Switch port and were like, "Yeah, these guys are worth acquiring."

You can't make this crap up lol

Profchaos4d ago

Mortal Kombat 1 was never going to port well I'm sure they told wb it wasn't going to work but wb wants that sweet sweet 140 million install base

In the end wb approved the project cleared the milestones and allowed the product to release

SonOfOsiris4d ago

Yeah this guys ported MK11 which is great, Hogwarts Legacy which is great, and MK1 is now ok, play it every day

How Many More Victims, Like Garry's Mod, Will Nintendo's Hurtful Crusade Create?

Hanzala from eXputer: "As Nintendo takes out 20 years' worth of stuff from Garry's Mod, I watch in shock, thinking why it continues to hurt and discourage its fans."

RiseNShine21d ago (Edited 21d ago )

The irony that some of the most disgusting business practices come from companies like Disney or Nintendo, i can't even begin to understand what terrible damage was Garrys Mod making to Nintendo bottom line, imho they're getting pretty nervous about where they're heading in the future, handhelds are no longer something exclusive to Nintendo, from Steam Deck to many others, now you can play the latest games and pay a fraction of the price on Steam sales, so it's up to their exclusives, which just on their own would make hard to justify purchasing a closed overpriced hardware with outrageous price policies (Super Mario Odyssey is still 60 euro 6 years later!), and as a home console they're always underperforming compared to Sony or Xbox.

gold_drake21d ago (Edited 21d ago )

i cam guarantee you, that their exclusives alone is what drives switch sales. they sell in the 10s of millions of copies.

nintendo created their franchises to be sort of nostalgia driven, exclusive only on nintendo.

people will always buy the pkmn games as they always bring in new younger fans amd is family friendly

mario kart, the same thing, mario games in general.

zelda games are system sellers. animal crossing for the casual gamers.

nintendo doesnt need third vame devs essentially. they made sure with the switch and the limitations that they looked more to pc ps and xbox.

its sad, but nintendo is more than fine with what they're doing. they positioned themselves to appeal to the more casual gamers.

but to your point, im not sure why they're doing this rly.

Look at how they handled Nintendo games being streamed or uploaded on YouTube in the past. They killed Yuzu and Citra even when they had nothing to do with ToTK being leaked, not to mention it was basically unplayable on emulation the week it was leaked. Smash Bros tournament, that was fairly recent. They shut down their online services without any care for purchases made. I bought a switch after skipping their last 2 consoles and handhelds but I don't plan on buying anything Nintendo in the future. They take things to the extremes, they legitimately hate their fans. They're honestly right up there with the likes of Acti, EA, and Ubi, only difference is that they disguise themselves as being family friendly all the while being shady.
