Donkey Kong Country Returns (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2010-11-19-donkey-kong-country-returns-review) developer Retro Studios is making a game for Nintendo's next home console, according to an online report.
Sources within the US studio told The Paul Gale Network (http://paulgalenetwork.com/home/2011/04/18/retro-studios-working-on-a-project-everyone-wants-us-to-do-on-wii-2/) the unannounced game is "a project everyone wants us to do".
Gale speculates that the game could be a first-person shooter. Retro Studios has pedigree in this area – it created the superb Metroid Prime Trilogy (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/metroid-prime-trilogy-review)for the GameCube and the Wii. Could a new Metroid game be in the works?
Nintendo's next home console, codenamed Project Café and due out next year (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-04-14-wii-2-to-be-revealed-at-e3-report), is said to have high definition visuals and graphical power on a similar level to the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
Its controller is rumoured to feature a touch-screen that enables the streaming of games played on the console.
According to a report by French website 01.net (http://www.01net.com/editorial/531787/lediteur-de-gta-iv-travaille-sur-la-prochaine-console-de-nintendo/) (translated for Eurogamer by Eurogamer.fr (http://www.eurogamer.fr/)), Nintendo is courting Grand Theft Auto maker Rockstar in the hope that it may make a game – possibly Grand Theft Auto V - for the system.
Nintendo is expected to announce its new console at this year's E3 game show in June.
