E3 2013 may finally be where we are given a first look at Retro Studios’ Wii U game. Nothing is guaranteed, but Nintendo’s Hiro Yamada did tease last month that he “hope[s] to introduce it to you in the not so distant future.”

As far as what Retro is working on, that’s pretty much anyone’s guess. However, IGN’s Peer Schneider did offer up potential insight during a Nintendo Voice Chat” feature (24:17 mark).

He said, “I’ve heard rumors that Retro’s game is a new brand.”

This seems to imply that Retro is working on a new IP, but nothing is set in stone, and the wording is slightly nebulous. Here’s hoping that Nintendo will finally pull back the curtain on the company’s project next month.
