Arguably, Retro Studios' biggest claim to fame (at the moment) is the Prime trilogy, until Nintendo's {{E3}} 2010 press conference, where they unveiled their next project: ''DonkeyKongCountryReturns'', released in the 2010 holiday season. A 2D side-scrolling PlatformGame in the mold of Rare's ''DonkeyKongCountry'' games, fan reaction was met with rejoicing, as nearly every element in the Country games were intact ([[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVq7XNV7K0w judging from the first trailer]]), but just to prove Retro really cared, the development team sat down and played ''all'' previous Country games to prepare for the new one; even the current CEO of Retro had a hand in the original ''Donkey Kong Country''. Although Retro hasn't planned on making a sequel, neither have they ruled out the possibility (they were responsible for the ''Donkey Kong''-related parts and the "[[StealthPun Retro]]" tracks of ''[[MarioKart Mario Kart 7]]'').

The future seems bright for Retro, with a new WiiU game in development, and the incredible success of ''DonkeyKongCountryReturns'' and ''Mario Kart 7''. [[http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2011/12/miyamoto-interview-transcript/all/1 A recent 2011 interview with]] Miyamoto [[WordOfGod revealed]] that he was interested in [[DreamTeam letting them take a crack at one of the company's most prized franchises]], ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda''. While it hasn't been confirmed to be a reality quite yet, it was enough for fans to have a moment of rejoicing.

The company was founded by Jeff Spangenberg in 1998, after he left Creator/{{Acclaim}} and was tasked by {{Creator/Nintendo}} to create five new games, aimed at adult audiences, for their NintendoGameCube as a third-party developer. When Creator/ShigeruMiyamoto visited the studio, he didn't like the games being developed, but was impressed at Retro's first-person prototype engine, and levied support for the developer, asking if they would like to make a ''{{VideoGame/Metroid}}'' title. In 2002 (following a TroubledProduction, which saw the other titles being cancelled and Nintendo hastily acquiring Spangenberg's controlling shares to remove the absent president from the company), the ''MetroidPrime'' trilogy was born, a series of {{First Person Shooter}}s set in the milieu of Nintendo's ''Metroid'' franchise. With the critical and universal success of Metroid Prime's first release, Nintendo turned Retro Studios into a first-party developer, who would make video games exclusively for the gaming giant. This couldn't have come at a better time, as third-party developer {{Rare}} (which Nintendo had controlled the majority of its shares at the time), was later acquired by Microsoft in the same year.
