Remakes of older games can be just as fresh as new games...see remake for example.
Resident Evil 2 would be a far cry, but it'd be an awesome suprise.

Yes. But seeing something new would still be preferable.

We've reached critical mass. RE2make? I think it's time to flood the chambers and cut all the connections. It's for your own good, GAF.

That is so true, good thing The Wonderful 101 = Monolith Soft
From the debug menu of Miiverse someone had access to on GAF at one point because Nintendo left the inputs for activating it active on the Wii U. They later fixed it in one of the patches but the user posted a bunch of pics of what he was seeing and among them were Miiverses not yet public such as:
metalgear
residentevil
yoshi land
metroid
There were a few others, I don't have the image on me (but it was posted in this very thread once already).
Yoshi Land was the explicit title of it. Throw in the Iwata staring at a banana and Bill Trinen staring at an orange in two different Directs and there's quite a big... interesting conclusion to draw from all of that. Whether or not it's actually true remains to be seen, of course, but given all the evidence above it all points to a Yoshi's Island game being in development.

Could this be what Famitsu are talking about (not been following that really)?
It is an option if they bought Capcom
I'd buy RE2 full HD Remake in a heartbeat. But i'd prefer something new... perhaps a return of Nintendo vs Capcom!"
Can't you see it, it opens with a video of mario throwing a fire ball, and then you hear a haduken! and its Ryu! then they do the whole paint thing again and bam, splash of Nintendo vs Capcom!

Just to point that IMO the Remake for the Gamecube is still the best Resident Evil game ever, that'll change if this's true.
I'm not an RE fan per say, but I agree about the remake thing. Sony has sold me on the idea of older games getting remade/remasterd and feeling new. I would love some HD collections for Wii U.
Of course I do, I'm one of the regulars on the Nintendo hype trains! I've just fallen off a bit because my GAF time is mostly spent in fighting game threads. :lol
Well this Nintendo Direct is about the Wii U. I don't think there have been any rumors DCKR sequel for Wii U, but there have been for 3DS.

It has fun issues not present in the original version, as in they overhauled the combat and rescued the gameplay. The frame rate can dip to 52-54 fps for brief instants, something that nobody but Digital Foundry running it through monitoring equipment really noticed. That's not quite an issue for actual humans.
Wtf? no way. O_O

If true then wow. RE2 15th Anniv and such but not a chance in hell of it happening.
I thought the Wii U version had worse problems.
Wait, so the most it dips is 8 frames? I was under the impression it was much worse, like sub 30 dips. Wtf.
I see.
So........ how much more likely do Metal Gear and Metroid become if Yoshi's Island is announced?
That might answer what Retro is working on, even if it's kinda boring.

I am kinda surprised that Metal Gear Rising isn't coming to Wii U.
I think they've had some exclusive info in the past, but considering their source for this is forum rumors, I'd keep my hype levels in check.
I'm not sure about the other versions but yeah, it can dip way lower than 30fps. But the problem is reproducible and is based solely on the number/type of enemies on the screen. Namely, if you don't kill the rocketmen, you're gonna have a bad time.
Otherwise it tends to go from locked 60fps in some areas to around 30fps in others.
Personally I think there are enough 2D platformers already...They have to "next gen" it up. It really is bad for Nintendo that both Metro AND Crysis 3 fell through.

If I wish for a new Metroid at every Nintendo Direct, the law of averages says that I'll get it eventually, eh?

Oh my. Wii U purchase redeemed x100.
it's probably gonna happen and it'll probably be from retro
It'll be pretty disappointing if it is a R2 remake. Without Mikami and Kamiya it just wouldn't be the same. If anything, Capcom would just boost all Hollywood knobs up to 11 and make it 1000x times more action-orientated and cheesier than it was anyway. I can't see them doing it justice in any way.
Plus, I'd really like to see something "NEW".

I'm not saying the game would be boring.
I'm saying that after all of the crazy speculation about what in the world Retro could be working on, another Metroid wouldn't really blow anyone away. They've made Metroid before. If they were making a Zelda game, or Kid Icarus, or a new IP, or whatever other crazy ideas you might have, whether you want that or not, it would be a much more interesting development.
Timed exclusive? like the previous Remake?
