Professor E Gadbrookes: bet on Retro's new game

Retro studios have another game in the works and they've been working on it for a few months.
No word yet on what it is, but hopefully we'll at least see a trailer come E3. I thought it might be fun to all guess what it is and whoever gets it right (or at least closest) can issue a dare for everyone else. And just because I'm lovely, I'm not even going to bet on metroid prime 4 or even a 2d metroid for 3DS.
Buskalilly bets: Diddy Kong Racing for 3DS
Masofdas bets: a new ip
Balladeer bets: a first person metroid on wii u
shanks bets: a metroid game a la Other M on 3DS
Zero Jones bets: Donkey Kong Racing on Wii U
Zaphod bets: Wii U Star fix
The Kid beys: a new Earthboynd
jimbob bets: Donkey Kong football
The Jaster bets: a 2d Wii U Metroid
Jay bets: Kid Icarus for Wii U
Rum bets: Super Princess Peach for Wii U

Wasn't there all ready a prime 3,

I'm going new IP

I'll take the obvious one, and go for a first-person Metroid on the Wii U. Nice idea, Buska!

I'll go with Metroid other M like game on the 3DS

My money's on a Donkey Kong Racing Wii U title.

I'm tempted to say 3DS Metroid (and I would love that no end), but I'm going to say...A Wii U Star Fox.

Could be another Donkey Kong Country game, but to flavour things up I'll say they're busy with a new Earthbound game.

Donkey Kong... Football.

As in American Football.

A lovely 2d Metroid for wii U.

I'm going to say a Kid Icarus game like Uprising but for Wii U.

Ewww (if it has the same controls as the 3ds game)

Surely a KI game on the Wii U would use the dual analogue sticks? Surely? (Not that I had any problems with KIU's controls, as I may have said before.)

I didn't have any problems with KIU's controls but I think the game pad might be a bit weighty to say the same for.

I think that the Gamepad's easier to play while resting it on one's lap, though.

Not that it matters anyway, since we all know that the next Kid Icarus or first-person Metroid will be controlled by holding the Gamepad at the screen, like G&W's Camera. Tilt it to move, move it to aim.

A follow up to Super Princess Peach on the Wii U.

(I don't know, you guys picked all the obvious ones, didn't you?)

KI on Wii U would be great, also I don't mind if it uses the same controls as 3DS but seeing it has two analog sticks that would be better.

Kid Icarus Wii U is a great idea. It'd be interesting to see how Retro would take the ideas of KI:U on.

Ooh, Jay might actually be onto something. I was going to get this article out to burst some bubbles (with a heavy heart), but actually:

For now, my thought is that perhaps we'll see someone else besides me make another Kid Icarus in another 25 years.

Intriguing. I'd imagine that Retro would design it very differently from KIU, though, and I'm not sure whether that's a good or bad thing.

It would at least allow them to.........


spread their wings a bit.

Nice. No  though?

Wow, balla, you're crap at maths!

...I don't get it.  

If I'm right you all owe me a fiver

I took "in" to mean "within".  That's my English you're criticising there!
