Taking a stroll through Retro Studios

Oh, how lucky some are.

We wish we could be strolling around the halls of Retro Studios, trusty camera in hand to capture all of the wonderful things that happen within its walls. But, no, we have to settle for watching GameSpot's video tour instead.

These people are fricking awesome. I'd love to work there.

- There! At 1:21! What's a 360 controller doing there?!
- Anyways, I love Retro. I'm glad that they think of themselves as a Nintendo company instead of a western one. It adds to the perfection.

yeah i saw that 360 controller. If Nintendo execs see this, that will be some talking...

I wish stuff like this was an extra in prime 3, i can care less about storyboards

I think that this company is really a part of Nintendo. I think that Nintendo and this company are the same. When I think of the Metroid team, I think of a team... not of Retro over here and Nintendo over there. They are a team. Retro is a part of Nintendo.

And they aren't like Western developers... 'cus those guys just suck. Retro is part of Nintendo and Retro is therefore very much a Japanese-minded developer... because Retro is a part of Nintendo.

...Point: I get it. :)

Not to dis the movie though. It was pretty cool.

In related topics, I hope now that Retro is taking a break from Metroid, they can use the awesome MP3:C engine to make a full-fledged online FPS for the Wii that satisfies everyone who was disappointed about the lack of online in Corruption. It'd be awesome, and I'm hoping it comes to pass.

You gotta be kidding me. You guys are actually surprised to see a 360 controller at Retro? I didn't find that the least bit unusual. If anything it should be expected. I'm willing to bet they have a PS3 laying around somewhere too. I would also expect to find a Wii controller at Microsoft and so on.

They probably even have development kits for other systems.
