Retro talks Wii power, next project, and Dread talk coming soon?
September 20th, 2007
The Wii is a fairly decently powerful game system as far as polygons go. We dont have a lot of depth with shader stuff, but we can make really good color palettes.
you can definitely do more stuff that will be way beyond that. - Metroid Prime 3: Corruption art director Todd Keller
One of the things weve always been told by Nintendo of Japan is they say they appreciate us as a studio because we make games they cant make. Their specialty is in the casual market. Their specialty is in the platforming and more traditional games. Im really excited about what were working on next. If people enjoy the kinds of games Retro makes, I dont think theyre going to be disappointed about what were doing. - game director Mark Pacini
Mr. Totilo teases us at the end of the article with more to come, and it looks like it might be Dread talk.
