The latest game released by Retro Studios turned 10 today in Japan.
While we have rumors about Nintendo Switch 2 including the backward compatibility feature and release date, the hybrid is getting closer to becoming the best-selling console in history.
But despite this good news, there is one renowned studio that has contributed practically nothing to the success of the platform.
It’s been 10 years since Retro Studios’ last game: Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
The last game from Retro Studios was Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, it was released 10 years ago in Japan, where it arrived on February 13, 2014 for the Nintendo Wii U. In America and Europe it arrived a week later, on February 21, 2014. .
The most curious thing about this is that it has been 10 years since the last Retro Studios game. This means that those responsible for the Metroid series, who also worked on other hits Donkey Kong and Mario Kart 7, have contributed practically nothing new to the success of Switch. His latest projects were the re-release of Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze for Switch and the remastering of Metroid Prime.
The reason is because they have been very busy with Metroid Prime 4, a project that has had as many mishaps as rumors. They are a very talented developer and we hope they can get back on track with Nintendo Switch 2, which is rumored for this year.
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze For its part, it was an important title for Wii U. It had been on the market for almost two years without much support from third-parties, so the exclusive renewed enthusiasm. Both the press and fans loved this installment, and it even received the perfect punctuation of Destructoidand other almost perfect GamesRadar, IGN, NintendoLifeamong others.
The title became a hidden gem in the Wii U catalog that could be discovered by others on Switch. And with any luck, Retro Studios will surprise us again very soon.
