Echos?

[AntiRealityHero]

Well, after about 2 years of the same, Retro Studios (http://retrostudios.com/) has finally updated their website, albeit only a very little.

Aside from the new job positions, which have actually been on the site for a few weeks, Retro has updated their Games section to read -

Retro Studios, in collaboration with Nintendo, produced its first Smash Hit with METROID PRIME for the Nintendo GameCube(TM) - released in Fall 2002.

The team went right back to work producing the unique and much anticipated Hit Sequel METROID PRIME 2, ECHOS for the Nintendo GameCube(TM) - released in Fall 2004.

Metroid Prime; Metroid Prime 2, and Retro Studios have won numerous honors.
We are now working hard on a new project that will be announced soon.Yes, I see it, too. Echos? How can Retro mispell the name of a game they spent 2 years working on? Oh, and don't think it's just a typo - they also spell it the exact same way on their Accolades page -

Using the same formula proven so successful in developing Metroid Prime; Retro Studios in collaboration with Nintendo released Metroid Prime 2 Echos in the Fall of 2004.Obviously there is some conspiracy and we've all bought fake "Echoes" versions of the game. This must be a clever marketing strategy by both Nintendo and Retro Studios to be fully realized when they release Metroid Prime 2: Echos for the Revolution, an upgraded port of the second game in a hugely popular and best-selling series now in high definition just like the developers always wanted it.

Anyways, there's also a few more pictures under their Studio section [now with life-size Samus figure--what, you didn't know she was a midget? ;)]




Oh, and I guess that part about a new game to be announced soon was kinda neat.

Hype!

...i'm going to assume you're kidding.

If Aries is right then the new Retro game is going to be a new game designed to be a Halo killer rather than a new Metroid, I think he also said it's possibel we would get to see that game revealed at E3 - and based on what I read in your post it seems they will show a new game then (still hopes for a new Metroid game)...

[AntiRealityHero]

^ See, Zeep, after you get past all my superfluous fluff, there really is a point to it myself].

I don't believe Retro Studios would have updated their site this close to E3 unless they were truly going to show something. What that is remains to be seen, but I can start the hype now, can't I?

maybe its different spellings for different dialects and languages. color in america is spelt colour in britain as an example.

[DLazare91]

^ thats possible i guess...
Lets all hope for a "halo killer" and a metroid game!

Well, the Echos thing was an exaggerated joke in order to overshadow the more important news. Obviously whoever typed it up just made a typo - I just found it strange that since the studio only worked on the one game at the time, you'd think the staff would pick up on how to spell the name. *shrugs*

So, to clarify [I guess]: This thread is really about Retro's new game.

Note to self: do not use psychology /or midgets on the boards again.

Echoes was an awesome game. Too bad it was overshadowed by the other two games that were released at the same time.

[SuperLuigiBros]

they probly got the coffee boy to do all the crappy jobs, and they got him to write out some stuff, and he didnt know how to spell echoes, which he wrote a few times.

I noticed that they had not updated thier site for a while. I like some of the pics they have on there.

Also the Japanese site for MP2:Dark Echoes is up so that must have just been released. http://metroid.jp/
