** Half-jossed. We still don't know what they've been doing since ''Tropical Freeze'', but they are going to be making ''VideoGame/MetroidPrime4'' once they finish their current mystery project, thanks to a previous development team flubbing the project. But before ''Prime 4'' released, we did end up with two 2D ''Metroid'' games courtesy of Creator/MercurySteam, though.

** Jossed. No clue what they were doing for most of the 2010s, but [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLIv_UXI_So their next game will be]] ''Metroid Prime 4''.

* On the fence about this one myself, but putting it here since this has been a major rumor among game publications [[http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2018/05/rumour_fresh_details_of_star_fox_grand_prix_suggest_its_not_like_f-zero_at_all_thanks_very_much since May 2018]].

[[WMG: Retro's new game after ''Tropical Freeze'' will be ''Star Fox: Grand Prix'']]

I'm crazy enough to guess it, and you ''know'' it would be awesome.

** But the game they make AFTER it could be an F-Zero game!

* However, instead of being another ''VideoGame/MetroidPrime'', it will be in the style of ''VideoGame/SuperMetroid''. This is one of the reasons they worked on the ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry'' games for a while, in order to get more experience in developing a 2D game.

* After {{Rare}} will [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness outlive their usefulness]] to Microsoft, Microsoft will sell them back to Nintendo and try to buy Retro.

** Considering Retro's other big projects, Metroid Prime and DKCR, were revivals of series that had a lapse in release time, this isn't too crazy of a guess.

* It's a franchise that hasn't been out for a while, and it could utilize the online capabilities more.

** Considering they're first party now, not second party like Rare were, that would be an impressive feat.
