It looks as though Retro Studios is hiring again and this time they’re looking for a skilled individual who is knowledgable with both enemy and boss programming. We are still left guessing as to what Retro Studios is working on. They began their latest project when Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze development ended. Here’s the job description.
Retro Studios
Founded in 1998, Retro Studios is a wholly owned subsidiary of Nintendo Company, Ltd. Retro is a state-of-the-art game development studio, working in conjunction with Nintendo to bring award-winning games to Nintendo’s cutting-edge next-generation platforms. Retro Studios is located in beautiful Austin, Texas. With rolling hills, scenic waterways, abundant wildlife, vibrant music and film scenes, and a laid-back cosmopolitan culture, Austin is a dynamic city with an excellent quality of life. Austin’s sunny weather also supports a great range of outdoor activities, providing plenty of venues for top-notch game developers to recharge and unwind.
Purpose/Summary
Individual contributor that develops, writes and debugs code for video game software and tools with a specific focus on AI programming for enemies & bosses and various other game-play systems as required.
Thanks, David
I wonder if it’s too early to announce their new project at e3, and if it is, maybe they’ll at least talk about it!

-thebensanders :)
are you from the netherlands
Uhh hello! no i am from Georgia born and rased!
Oh no, u live in the exact same state were i live? Lol just kidding i lov Nintendo too because they love Georgia so i lov them: D
*where :p
He sounds like he was referring to the country of Georgia, since he said his brother was in Europe. I could be wrong though.
His English expression is commensurate with a brain-dead hick. So probably the state.
Uhh hello!!! No one cares! Leave!
Woah, dude don’t be rude. You don’t want people to be mean to you in life.
TheBenSanders is a troll, why shouldn’t we be rude to him? He wanders around the Internet trying to aggravate people.
Uhh hello! be nise and spred the love of christ thank u sir!
You first asshole if you’re not interested in listening or reading.
Dumbass.
Nintendo Commander Quadraxis = Grape Ape (EXPOSED)
Beenox
hopefully it’s a new ip.
Nintendo SHOULD invest in monolith soft AND retro for them to be able to develop TWO games at a time. same for INTELLIGENT SYSTMES actually.(fire emblem ect guys.)
hal labs has a lot but don’t do …….as……much as they could.maybe.
And if Sonic Boom goes well, they should also try to get Big Red Button. They need some Western studios. Plus that team looks like they have many talented veterans.
Uhhh monolith and retro are nintendo companies.
Invest ? both are Nintendo studios…
This can’t be DK or a platformer in general. Its something that requires enemies to be smart, maybe a metroid, StarFox, or something new
There’s no reason to think it’s something that requires enemies to be smart. All games need AI programming regardless of smartness of enemies. It’s likely they are either expanding and need new staff, or someone left and they need a replacement.
more pikmin3 dlc
ask nintendo about the next nintendo direct for me related to wiisportsclub please
can you ask nintendo for me about wiisports club and when is baseball going to be released is there a nintendo direct before e3
I’m guessing Starfox or Ice Climbers…
Ice Climbers would be a good surprise.
But I think it leans more towards Starfox or Metroid since the enemies in Ice Climbers don’t require the same programming capabilities as the other 2 titles.
Unless they make a total recreation with it like Metroid…
Yeah, unless they did that. Or alla Kid Icarus Uprising.
Although I do like Ice Climbers being a vertical platformer. I don’t think there are much or any left in that category.
Well, it’s good that Retro is perfect doing what’s best, recreating retro games…
They are truly masters of their own work.
Remember, Retro personally stated that they’d be “lucky to return to Metroid”. Now, since Miyamoto hasn’t been announced as working with Retro on this game, i don’t necessarily think it will be Star Fox. This could very well be a new IP.
From their statements, it could very well be a new ip. They could also possibly be lying to make it a surprise at E3. No-one knows except for Retro and Nintendo themselves, but I would be fine either way.
Also, maybe Shig is working secretly with Retro on Starfox, ya never know. But even then, I think Retro is talented enough to work on Starfox themselves.
However, I think Platinum would do a great job on Starfox as well after playing those space missions in TW101.
All games need AI programming and nothing in the article suggests they need highly advanced AI. There’s nothing here that makes room for any speculation about what they’re working on.
It’s likely they are either expanding and need new staff, or someone left and they need a replacement.
The way Sickr worded it though seems like they need someone greater than normal. I quote, “And this time they’re looking for a skilled individual who is knowledgable with both enemy and boss programming.”
Metroid! Maybe StarTropics (dreaming). Btw I couldn’t play. I’m sorry. Also do you have the same time zone as Helsinki?
I think so, or probably 1 hour earlier…
I’m sorry! Could I get a hug?
Yes, just don’t call me lady again…
I was joking. Thank you, hot, I mean great Commander. ;)
Haha…
loser
Im predicting StarFox too, that IP has lots of potential and needs a definate recreation. Everything After SF64 had somekind of problems. Also they have to get rid of krystal, Fox shouldnt be a pussy lover boy, he is though space fox blowin monkeys in….space.
Or make Krystal even tougher…
But it needs to be what it is, a full scale war game…
And with Bosses that are challenging…
No, it would be stupid to remove Krystal. She’s not the problem.
Just tone down the mushy love stuff that Command had going (I like to pretend that game didn’t exist..)
Keep it more along the lines of Assault.
you arw being rude to people
So I’m being rude to people because I said I’m guessing I think it’s Starfix or Ice Climbers?…
Whatever you say…

wiisports club baseball
wiisports club basebase
wiisports club boxing
that will talk about this
Starfox also seems legit. Some bosses are a pain in my……. Hugs!
call of duty advance warfare will be way better than that metroid.
Never. Unlike CoD, Metroid has had an incredible reimagining with the Prime series.
you should be skinned alive for saying that
This doesn’t even deserve a face palm
se habla español!!!
el dolor en el culo de sasori ha sido expuesto!!!

LOLOLOLOL THAT FUCKING CROWN. QUEEN MUCH?
My superiority will be way better than your primitiveness…
Ur a fucking loser
Somebody remove this ape from my sight…
wiisports club baseball
Who called this idiot?
Judging an unreleased spam with a series that scores and acclaimed higher than any COD garbage except COD4 being up there rightfully.
STFU lame ass Brokeback gorilla.
Its funny that people are already like, “OMG MEEEEEEETROOOOOID OMG MP4 FOR U OMG!!!!!” just like they were before Tropical Freeze was announced. Now ofcourse i would love to have another good Metroid(its been a while) from Retro, but i have a feeling they are now workin on a IP that they have never worked before.
-Predicter who can predict wrong too.
I believe this is time to say
“Hoenn confirmed”
Half-li…
Not even gonna say it
Metroid Prime 4, Fusion 2, and Half-Life 3 CONFIRMED.
There, joke done FOR you. :P
3D Donkey Kong here we come ;)
Donkey konga 3
I think that Retro is currently making a new IP for Wii U. I hope that they would show us at E3 2014.
Enemies and bosses? Um.. Idk. Are they trying to put really hard bosses in there or something?? o_O
Yes and it’s about time…
Enough of children bosses that you can beat with no eyes…
I need Metroid Prime Echoes Boss difficulty or higher…
Or DKCTF boss difficulty.
Actually most Metroid Prime bosses are fairly easy except with Omega Pirate in Trilogy’s Hyper Mode. That fight was a bitch. XD
My father’s friend worked in retro studios until january and he worked as programmer for enemy AI. I think retro is simply hiring for replacement
Metroid, yada, yada.
Metroid or starfox please ^^
or a new IP =)
I hope it’s metroid but it’s probably not. I REALLY want it to be a new IP
