Retro Studios is no doubt one of the most talented, and highly regarded development studios around. Their recently released Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze was met with critical acclaim.

In an interview with GameSpot, Kensuke Tanabe confirmed that the Texas-based team have been working on a new game since November 2013. President & CEO of Retro Studios, Michael Kelbaugh, made sure not to disclose any other information when asked about what the game could be.

Michael Kelbaugh: "We love working with Donkey Kong. It's a great character. It's a lot of fun. We love working with Metroid Prime, with Mario Kart; those are fun, fun games to work on. So, you know, you can't lose," he said. "Every one of those IPs have been a lot of fun to play with and work on and [we'd] love to come back to them sometime."

Clearly Retro Studios has been busy on their latest project, but Mr. Kelbaugh was also questioned about the possibility of another Retro-made Metroid title, this is what he had to say to USGamer.

Michael Kelbaugh: "You're not going to find a larger bunch of Metroid of Metroid Prime fans than at Retro studios. We'll be lucky to someday, maybe, work on another one. There's a lot of people in the studio left over from Metroid Prime that are very passionate about Metroid... If the fans keep asking, then maybe we'll answer."
