- Retro Studios is an American video game developer based in Austin, Texas. The company was founded by Jeff Spangenberg in 1998, after he left Acclaim and was tasked by Nintendo to create five new games, aimed at adult audiences, for their Nintendo Gamecube as a third-party developer. When Shigeru Miyamoto visited the studio, he didn't like the games being developed, but was impressed at Retro's first-person prototype engine, and levied support for the developer, asking if they would like to make a Metroid title. In 2002 (following a Troubled Production, which saw the other titles being cancelled and Nintendo hastily acquiring Spangenberg's controlling shares to remove the absent president from the company), the Metroid Prime trilogy was born, a series of First Person Shooters set in the milieu of Nintendo's Metroid franchise. With the critical and universal success of Metroid Prime's first release, Nintendo turned Retro Studios into a first-party developer, who would make video games exclusively for the gaming giant. This couldn't have come at a better time, as third-party developer Rare (which Nintendo had controlled the majority of its shares at the time), was later acquired by Microsoft in the same year. Arguably, Retro Studios' biggest claim to fame (at the moment) is the Prime trilogy, until Nintendo's E 3 2010 press conference, where they unveiled their next project: Donkey Kong Country Returns, released in the 2010 holiday season. A 2D side-scrolling Platform Game in the mold of Rare's Donkey Kong Country games, fan reaction was met with rejoicing, as nearly every element in the Country games were intact (judging from the first trailer), but just to prove Retro really cared, the development team sat down and played all previous Country games to prepare for the new one; even the current CEO of Retro had a hand in the original Donkey Kong Country. Although Retro hasn't planned on making a sequel, neither have they ruled out the possibility (they were responsible for the Donkey Kong-related parts and the "Retro" tracks of Mario Kart 7). The future seems bright for Retro, with a new Wii U game in development, and the incredible success of Donkey Kong Country Returns and Mario Kart 7. A recent 2011 interview with Miyamoto revealed that he was interested in letting them take a crack at one of the company's most prized franchises, The Legend of Zelda. While it hasn't been confirmed to be a reality quite yet, it was enough for fans to have a moment of rejoicing.

- Retro Studios fue fundada en 1998 por Jeff Spangerberg, consiguiendo una enorme sede financiada por algunos empleados de Nintendo of América, pero con una plantilla bastante pequeña de empleados. Durante el siguiente año, intentaron contratar más empleados para poder lelvar a cabo dos nuevos proyectos : NFL Retro Football y Raven Blade, también conocido como Rune Blade, además de Thunder Rally y Action Adventure, todos ellos para Nintendo Nintendo GameCube, entonces conocida como Dolphin. En internet se encontraron indicios de que Thunder Rally tendría funciones online, pero la poca atención que Nintendo le echó al sistema online de Nintendo GameCube desechó dichas funciones. En 2000, Shigeru Miyamoto realizó una visita a la sede de Retro Studios, mostrando gran interés en Action Adventure, proyecto que hasta entonces casi había sido desechado. Este interés contribuyó a que Nintendo le dejará la licencia de Metroid a Retro Studios para que desarrollaran Metroid Prime, para el que usaron algunas funciones y sistemas de Action Adventure. Mientras tanto, Jeff Spangerberg empezó a ausentarse del trabajo, provocando confusión y problemas en todos los equipos. Poco más tarde, Thunder Rally y NFL Retro Football fueron cancelados, como una de las muestras de los problemas que Jeff Spangerberg estaba causando. Este personaje fue visto en internet en unas fotos en las que posaba con prostitutas, lo que obligó a Nintendo a comprar Retro Studios y despedir al ya nombrado director, y poniendo en su lugar a Steve Barcia como sustituto. Por su parte, Metroid Prime había sido supervisado por Miyamoto durante su desarrollo, juego que salió a la venta en 2002 en América, con una sorprendentes ventas de 250000 unidades en los primeros días. Además recibió numerosos premios durante ese año y el siguiente, y con una sorprendentes ventas en Europa pero escasas en Japón. El entonces actual presidente de Retro Studios fue despedido por quejas entre los trabajadores, y siendo sustituido por un antiguo trabajador de Nintendo of América: Michael Kelbaught. Cerca de 2004, practicamente se confirmó el desarrollo de Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. Este juego tuvo unas ventas algo bajas en América siendo comparadas con las de Metroid Prime, repitiéndose su caso en Europa y en Japón, a pesar de los esfuerzos de Retro Studios para que tuviera una mayor acogida en el pais nipón. Tiempo más tarde, Nintendo confirmó que Metroid Prime 3: Corruption sería un juego que acompañara en el lanzamiento de su nueva Revolution, más conocida ahora como Wii, confirmación que al final no se cumplió. Sin embargo, el juego fue lanzado en América el Agosto de 2007, con unas esplendorosas ventas de 400000 unidades en la primera semana. Categoría:Empresas
