Nintendo heeft vandaag bekend gemaakt dat het Retro Studio’s heeft opgekocht, door de aandelen van de vorige eigenaar Jeff Spangenberg te kopen.
Retro Studio’s is oa de maker van het GameCube spel “Metroid Prime” met de vrouwelijke bounty-hunter Samus in de hoofdrol.
“Nintendo has become the majority owner of Retro Studios by purchasing shares from now former owner Jeff Spangenberg.
Spangenberg desired to pursue other business interests, and opportunity to become majority owner made itself available. Nintendo’s belief in the talent of the company’s 40-member development team and their excellent work on Metroid Prime, to be released later this year, led to this decision.
We look forward to our continued work with the team.”
