I've got the Morph ball, now I just need to analyze those floor plans for a place to bomb jump and we should be golden.

 

[Zoe]

500 parking spaces? 114,00 square feet?

Weren't Retro at most 100 people until recently? This doesn't make a whole lot of sense...
And neither does sharing a building with another company, given Nintendo's strict secrecy...

It's as if you people haven't heard of office parks.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

all you need to do is bypass the mainframe its not hard

I know Linux and Visual Basic, I'll have it cracked wide open by midnight.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

What info did you expect to get? Were you planning to confront them? Determine the game they were working on based on their gait? Looking at building plans is one thing, but you were way out of fucking line.


Anyways... I'm glad Retro is movin' on up. They are a terrific company. Working with Nintendo continues to pay off.

In other news, Silicon Knights are also moving to new digs:

 

[F#A#Oo]

From every job posting we've seen Retro has not quadrupled in size in the past year and half. They probably have enough people to do one Wii U game.

Didn't Retro get sent a whole heap of NST staff this year?

I don't know how plausible it is to think Nintendo would allow Retro to share a building.

 

[Oblivion]

I think he mentioned going through the trash.

Haha, we destroyed that Eric dude's life.

I have just sent spy cameras to your location. Please hide them well.

thats 12 miles north of my apartment

This thread is...truly something.

people around here really go the extra furlong for Retro...

I am a Nintendo fan and a Retro fan but woah, aerial pictures of their new studio? what?

 

[Medalion]

haha nintendo fans are crazy man

Those aren't Nintendo fans... they are renegades!

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

If you all were serious about this, you can just call the tenant building and ask for their suite #, then call the city and find out if it was a public bid job, in which case the plans are available for everyone to see.

Thank god tenant projects are rarely public bids and you creepers would still have to get past security.

 

[KillerTravis]

Man you guys take everything seriously, it's all a joke. Except for the guy that posted the livecam I guess.

 

[DragonSworne]

I'll be in Austin all week starting tomorrow.

Anyone know the address? I can take a picture of it if you guys want.

Edit:

Okay got it

Address 755 E Mulberry Ave Ste 100, Austin, TX 78704

I'll try to take interior shots as well.

Incredible. I'm pretty sure he was breaking several US privacy/solitude laws. I'm surprised mods let that stand. That shit makes GAF look bad, like 4chan bad.

Edit: if this is the "joke", then it's absolutely hilarious. Oh god, my sides.

 

[Kjellson]

I just booked a plane ticket to Austin so in about 48 hours I will be live reporting while crawling in the ventilation system in the building's walls.

Investigative journalism.

An old, unrelated post from that thread: I FUCKING CALLED IT. Except I didn't realise ME3 was out in March, but w/e

Isn't a joke...?

Or are you joking too?

What the fuck happened in this thread guise.

I'm fairly certain the poster in question attends the University of Sheffield ie. on the wrong side of the Atlantic to be snooping around Retro's employees.

Ah, well that's a relief. Odd to reference it like he did, but okay.

 

[Doug Heffernan]

Seriously, what's the obsession with Retro Studios?
I don't get it...

 

[The Mana Legend]

Didn't he already unsuccessfully give that a shot?

I wonder if him being rejected has to do with how much shit he talks about former employers.

 

[The Mana Legend]

I only like one Retro game (Donkey Kong Country Returns), but it's pretty damn obvious why they are universally loved.

I'm sure if Nintendo EAD was located in America people would be just as creepily obesessed

Do you resemble Miyamoto or Iwata at all? If so, you could be the ace in the hole and get the inside scoop from the inside.

They needed an upgrade. I worked in the office next to them for a couple years and was always surprised how small it was. Their new building is nice and big, but in a rather shitty part of town. Oh well, so long as they can make more games.

They need the shitty part of town now that they're working on an hd console. All ran down, gritty, browns, grays and black. It's all about inspiration.

Parmer isn't shitty. You're thinking of Rundberg.

 

[Sydle]

Parmer isn't shitty. You're thinking of Rundberg.

Parmer next to I35 is not a great area compared to many of the other open office parks around town. Anywho, it doesn't matter, I'm just glad they're in a bigger space.

 

[Jezan]

They, Retro, and NoE should get together for Xenoblade 2. Monolith for the game design, Retro for the technical assistance, and NoE for the worldwide translations.

Rather than being geographically far apart worldwide, they would share an orbital space station.

From space, the world's next greatest game will descend!

I'm ready for more Reyn time <3
"Haha in your face!"
Oh yes Reyn please!!!

HaHaHa I can only imagine.

 

[GiantEnemyGoomba]

Is the "What is going on in this thread?" dog picture a banned pic? I feel like it would be very appropriate here.

 

[PhantomR]

Retro must be so delighted about the recent influx of dejected Rare fans who now make them the focus of pathetic levels of scrutiny.

 

[GamerSoul]

lol why the hell are yall posting floor plans?

LMAO It's too much. It's just too good.

 

[abrack08]

Cool, this is right by where I work and go to school, like 20 minutes from my apartment (and really close to the EA Sports studio, unless they've moved since this January). Hopefully a bigger building means they're expanding/hiring?

 

[Mlatador]

jesus christ, floor plans... lol

 

[Jawmuncher]

Retro Studios Zelda here we come!

I can wish

 

[Medalion]

Infiltration of Retro Studios has reached phase 1
Commence countdown to extraction of intended target

Retro Studios Zelda here we come!

Ideally I'd like to see console Zelda and also a 3DS Metroid from them. I don't give a rats ass if they make new IPs. As long as the games are fun (and their last four have been absolutely fun) then I don't care.

 

[Why would you do that?]

Since Retro proved themselves to be the master of 2D games and 3D worlds, I'm gonna have to go and put a 2D Metroid and 3D Zelda from them on my wishlist.

As for what I think they're actually doing... At this point, I honestly couldn't guess. lol

 

[Desty]

It's like Nintendo is realizing how big teams need to be for next gen development but 7 years late to the party.

We're gonna find what they're working on and we're gonna play the shit out of it.

Better late than never in time for their first HD system

 

[Gamer @ Heart]

Dev teams this gen are only that big when they have to pump out game every 18 months. Nintendo doesnt operate like that.

 

[KillerTravis]

It's like Nintendo is realizing how big teams need to be for next gen development but 7 years late to the party.

It's like Nintendo hasn't been on the business for 30 years or knows what an increase on game resources entails.
