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.

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:

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.

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. :p

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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?

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

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