Retro Studios

Retro Studios, Inc. is an American video game developer based in Austin, Texas. The studio started with four Nintendo GameCube projects, and did not impress Nintendo producer Shigeru Miyamoto, but he suggested they create a new game in the Metroid series. Eventually the four games in development were cancelled so Retro could focus only on Metroid Prime, which was released for the GameCube in 2002, the same year Nintendo acquired the studio completely by purchasing the majority of Spangenberg's holding stock. The studio is now a first-party developer and division of Nintendo.
