Interesting little tidbit I picked up on earlier today.
There had been a bit of stirring from IGN that Retro Studios, developers of the acclaimed Metroid Prime series of games (excluding Hunters and Pinball, of course), were working on a new Zelda title in some capacity more than a year ago, but abruptly halted work on it. The reasons for ceasing their efforts remains unknown.
IGN was apparently confident in their sources enough that they came close to publishing it on their site, but they never pulled the trigger. Now, on the recent Nintendo Voice Chat podcast, IGN has reaffirmed that Retro Studios is no longer working on the game.
I must admit, the nature of the project and capacity of their involvement has me intrigued. Might this have been a move towards Miyamoto’s dream of a first-person Zelda?
