Rumor: Retro Studios to announce new Wii project at E3
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 4 Comments
E3 is just around the corner, so it should be no surprise that rumors are beginning to surface regarding Nintendo-related announcements. The latest unconfirmed report is that information on Retro Studios’ new title is coming soon (E3 being the most likely venue for such details.) However, there are some signs that may shed some validity on such an allegation. Nintendo’s Mark Franklin confirmed a few weeks back that Nintendo is planning on revealing games for the core gamer at this year’s E3. Of course, we all know that Retro Studios is a fairly hardcore company that has brought us the revered Metroid Prime series. In addition to this tidbit though, Retro has redesigned its company website, which has led many to believe that the company has changed it for an upcoming announcement.
DVD-compatible Wii systems put on back-burner

“With supply constraints [of the Wii] continuing worldwide, the priority is on the current model.” – Satoru Iwata
With the persistent Wii sales, it’s no surprise that Nintendo is nott interested in producing a slightly modified Wii system. Also, from a sales standpoint, it would probably be silly to release a DVD-compatible Wii anytime soon. Once sales die down, creating a new Wii unit would be beneficial to Nintendo as not only would the new SKU boost sales, but Nintendo would also have a chance to catch their breath from the current sales of the Wii.

The sceenshots are not direct-feed from the game and are scans from the latest Nintendo Power, so obviously the quality of the images aren’t at their best. However, before passing judgment, it’d be best to see the game in motion. I do admit though, the game looks decent considering the images are scanned.
