Metroid Prime 3 could have been more open world, took a year to implement Hypermode
Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
As part of a recent discussion with Kiki Talkz, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption senior producer Bryan Walker commented on how there was initially some consideration to make the game open world as well as the difficulties implementing Hypermode.
As for the open world, director Mark Pacini first came up with the idea to leverage Samus’ ship and make the game less linear. Walker is proud of what the team accomplished with Metroid Prime 3, but “would be very interested in seeing what the response was, especially the fan community to the expanded use of the ship and the more open world non-linear that we were touching upon with that pitch.”
Pacini’s full words:
Donkey Kong Country Returns dev on how Retro came to work on the project

In an interview with Kiki Talkz, former Retro Studios developer Bryan Walker discussed how the team ended up working on Donkey Kong Country Returns.
Walker worked on Metroid Prime 2 and 3 before directing the Wii title. Retro actually had some interest in moving on from the Prime series after the second entry, but after Donkey Kong was presented to late Nintendo president Satoru Iwata, he instead wanted the team to come out with a third game. Then after Metroid Prime 3 launched and there was a lot of some key staff, the opportunity to work on the Donkey Kong Country IP came about.
Walker also talked about meeting with Shigeru Miyamoto early on and had much praise for him. After one conversation in Kyoto, Miyamoto asked Retro to take care of IP, stating: “Please take care of DK. He is my friend.”
Below is Walker’s full words:

Metroid Dread file size smaller than initially expected
Posted on 2 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
The file size for Metroid Dread isn’t quite as big as we initially thought.
After the game was announced at E3 2021, Nintendo immediately started taking pre-orders on the Switch eShop. The listed size at the time was 6.9GB. That wasn’t exactly massive to begin with, but it looks like the download has been reduced a week out from launch.

Following up on the success of the original game, Siactro and Diplodocus Games are gearing up for the Switch version of Toree 2. According to an eShop listing, it’s slated for release in just a couple of days.
Toree 3D managed to find success on Switch, and the $1 price point (or $0.99 to be exact) certainly helped. This new title will cost the same exact amount.
