The announcement for the next game from Retro Studios could be coming a lot sooner than we think. The studio, which was behind Donkey Kong Country Returns and the Metroid Prime trilogy, has yet to say anything about its next project. However, Nintendo’s Hiro Yamada is hinting that the announcement could be coming “in the not too distant future.”
Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime insists that it will be awesome, but just how awesome are we talking? Hopefully, just as awesome as our hearts desire. Word is still out, however, on where this would be revealed. Since Nintendo is not doing an E3 press conference this year, it’s assumed that the public shall find out via Nintendo Direct.

I really can’t wait to see what this game is.
I expect an E3 announcement, or a Nintendo Direct a few weeks earlier and a playable build at E3. Cancelling the press conference may or may not be a good idea, but they have to have some sort of presence there.
