What the Heck Is Going on at Retro Studios???

It's been several years since Retro Studios' last game, and some very unpleasant rumors have been going around about the company...

One small piece of the puzzle I forgot to mention. The character hidden behind the Mario statue in this photo Retro Studios gave to Reggie when he retired.

Let's hope retro studios doesn't go down the same rabbit hole as alpha dream

The DK animated show in the background is gold

Everyone: We need to mature up our videos to avoid COPPA

Arlo: HECK!!!

[JonVerrall]

I can say, definitively, that Retro Studios is aware of Arlo, and a bunch of people followed your videos closely while I was working there! (And, at one point, I was trying to figure out how I'd be able to throw a reference to you somewhere...)

We're all under NDA, though. All of us. I wouldn't trust much of anything anyone says, because breaking an NDA in this industry is basically a death knell for your career.

Love the channel! Good luck!

They're probably working on the new Kid Icarus game and being forced not to release it until 2037.

Arlo: Darkness
Me: Ooh, Arlo’s maturing up his videos I see!

Pikmin 4 is "in development" for 6 years

Somebody random: "Wait StarFox has lore?"


Me: [Slams a big book on the table] " Millions of years ago Aquas was the planet of a prosperous civilization that took inhabitants on the few remaining islands. Since the planet is only 3 percent land the majority of it's inhabitants lived underwater. Despite the majority of underwater inhabitants being mostly marine-like in nature few were sentient as evidence by some underwater temples discovered by Cornerian researchers. One of these creatures was known as the Bacoon: a giant clam-like being that possessed immense psychic power. This creature was said to have destroyed the civilizations on the surface by manipulating a starfish species into blowing up the vast icy poles flooding the entire planet. To this day Cornerian scientists have been planning on building a underwater city after the planet is deemed safe."

I couldn't focus on what he was saying the Dk show was too immersive

As long as Metroid Prime 4 doesn’t get cancelled, I’m satisfied.

[TheFrostedfirefly]

Arlo: "You want to hear more about Metroid Prime 4???"
Me: YEAHH!!!!
Arlo: "You want
Me: ....Oh

[ChristopherMoom]

If Retro ends up becoming AlphaDream 2 I'm gonna be incredibly sad

[MagerBlutooth]

Inb4 Ice Climbers Revengeance: Rise of Nana.

[DanSweeto]

I really hope there is a new ambitious Star Fox game on the horizon, something like Star Fox Assault.
Mostly, I just hope that Retro will come out of all of this okay D:

[omerozel]

Arlo: Darkness

Me: oh jesus christ arlo turned into a kingdom hearts villain

[BraxtonKovary]

Inb4 the Nintendo Direct debunks this whole video in a month.

[RatedB]

Is everything we love just a writhing mess of snakes, eels and tentacles hidden with a colorful branded sheet tossed over the top?

[sam_barris]

I'm hoping they were working on the Metroid Prime Trilogy: Definitive Edition for Switch and Nintendo has just been holding off on releasing it for whatever reason.

[Protendo]

If Retro wasn’t doing anything for the past 5 years, I can guarantee that they’ll be *Nobody’s Hero.*
