With the release of Metroid Prime 3 less than 2 months away I've been thinking about the future of Retro Studios. Besides a few projects that were canceled early on all that Retro has worked on is the Metroid Prime series since they've been with Nintendo.
With comments like these it's obvious that Retro has the controls down with nice graphics to boot. Which brings me to my point. One game type Nintendo's systems have lacked of late is a great multiplayer FPS. The last one was Perfect Dark. I suggest Retro's next game should be a multiplayer FPS using the Metroid Prime 3 engine. It would have MP3's controls and at least as good if not better graphics. It would be built from the ground up for online multiplayer.
This game could be a flagship title for the Wii in a genre that it is sorely lacking. More than that it would be a sign to the core gamers that they have not been abandoned and Nintendo is still interested in creating new traditional games. While it could not compete graphically with the other systems flagship FPS games it could have the best control of any console FPS ever.
Supposing Retro were to make this their next game what type of FPS would you like to see on the Wii? Modern day, Sci-Fi, WWII?
As for myself I would love to see Retro to try their hand at an epic Sci-Fi shooter.
