Retro Studios Celebrates 20 Years In Gaming

by Ryan Craddock:
"We imagine Retro Studios is one company that needs absolutely no introduction on these pages, but we're about to provide one anyway as the developer is today celebrating 20 years in the world of gaming.

Yes, back in 1998, Retro Studios was born as a game development studio with Nintendo acting as a parent company. Its initial aim was to create games which would appeal to an older demographic for the GameCube (which, at the time, was still a few years away from release). Eventually, all efforts were focused on a new project called Metroid Prime - a new entry to the series which would use 3D graphics for the first time. The rest, as they say, is history."

What’s Retro Studios even been doing since 2014

Nice question, it is almost 5 years. I hope to do something good, i dont want another Donkey Kong to be honest. I would prefer a Metroid Prime style.

Neonridr2045d ago

Did they have a hand at all at porting Tropical Freeze to the Switch? Or was that handled entirely by someone else? You have to figure if they have been working on something for 4 solid years now, then hopefully we get to see something soon.

Exactly put us out of misery and show us something, I was expecting something from them at E3 but nothing. The wait continues 😞

Should have happened a long time ago. People wanting refunds after 50 hours in game.

Pc gamers will take this as an excuse to pirate things

KyRo23h ago

I'm not sure why you're getting disgrees. Whilst not all PC gamers are petty, an awful lot of them are lol

Crows9023h ago

Entirely untrue. Not any more petty than console gamers. The only large difference is console gamers don't have much of a choice.

Michiel198915h ago

Not sure why you're getting agrees. an awful lot of console gamers are overemotional twinks ready to go to war over a plastic box, I'll take being a pc gamer then.

Speaking about overgeneralizing much.

"X" type of gamer conversations are cringe

qalpha1d ago

Daily reminder that 'TheGamer' is a corporate-generated, anti-gamer, anti-consumer, clickbait web site. They are mostly A.I. generated articles that villainize gamers. They provide nothing positive and actively try to provoke and divide the community through extreme view points and politics. Do not give them any clicks.

Inverno1d ago

Only scumbags? As if people don't play their games on console put in the most amount of hours and return it to GameStop and trade it in for another game. But also how many people are actually do this? And what games have been allowed to be refunded?

DustMan23h ago

You can refund any game you've purchased as long as it hasn't been longer than two weeks, and you've played less than 2 hours. I wish they would change it to 3 hours because some RPG's have so much exposition that you may only get an hour total of complete gameplay. That's my only knock on it. I've refunded plenty of stuff I was just curious to try. I typically stay away from Early Access titles which are the only ones affected by this policy change.

Inverno23h ago

Apparently early access doesn't count, only complete games with a play early preorder bonus.

Gaming4Life198123h ago

I definitely know if I want a refund in 2 hours.

SegaSaturn66915h ago

I never liked refunding anything. Even if a film is bad, i dont want my money back. Sometimes things just aren't for me, and it's not the creator's fault necessarily.

Gaming4Life19819h ago

I feel you and i have never walked out on a bad movie cause I payed my money. I also don't refund games cause I'm a gamer and I know what to buy lol. I think having a digital refund is great.

Inverno1d ago

Cacabunga1d 19h ago

Hopefully doesn’t take them a complete gen to release it

TheColbertinator1d 14h ago

Good. Something not boring, not one of those "make your own game" crap and also on Steam would be nice.

Stopac1d 12h ago

I too like to look for things in the wrong places.
