Developing a New IP, Eternal Darkness 2 and a reboot of StarTropics.

That's cool.  I actually have a house in Round Rock.  Maybe someday you can roll through and we can fire up some burgers and play some games.

You know, that'd be pretty cool.

I live up in Killeen at the moment - a few years after joining VGC, when the economy crashed, I joined the Army and they stationed me at Ft Hood. Got out last year, working for Dell now.

My wife and I plan on moving down closer to my job eventually - if I don't get approved for full-time remote work - and there are a few neighborhoods in Round Rock that I absolutely love.

Metroid Prime Federation DX for Nintendo Switch

For releases, yes. We've always know about their next project before now in the cycle, though. Logically we'll still have a wait for the game after it finally is announced.

for sure this one is taking longer than usual, i was just pointing out that they dont typically have a sub 3 year dev cycle like the OP said.

They had smaller projects in between, though - the metroid prime trilogy, putting DKCR on 3DS, as well as helping out other studios on occasion.

Thanks, anyaways, I corrected the op.

I'm starting to suspect they've been reduced to just helping out with other people's games like Monolith's Kyoto studio rather than making games of their own any more.

Don't forget that Retro also hired a bunch of new people like ... was it 2 years ago? 3 maybe?

I remember specifically that Miyamoto said in an interview that due to the expansion, Retro is now big enough to work on 2 games simultaneously.

Yet, here we are, knowing 0. :(

I wonder how many people Retro actually has because they always seem to bleed employees after each project ever since  the people who worked on Metroid Prime left.  It's like the hiring spree they're going through is more to replenish lost staff rather than to actually expand.
