Retro Studios Loses One Of Its Own To Cancer
The gaming industry lost another long-time contributor yesterday, IGN reports, as Retro Studios senior software engineer Mark Haigh-Hutchinson succumbed to pancreatic cancer.

Nintendo Has "No Plans" For More Western Talent
Game|Life's Chris Kohler recently sat down with Nintendo senior VP George Harrison to chat about the current state of Western development on the Wii and Nintendo DS. Harrison told Game|Life that he was unaware of any plans to bring in developers beyond those already working on Nintendo published software. Nintendo's more recent notable efforts from the West include Retro Studios' Metroid Prime 3: Corruption and Mario Strikers Charged. While those games, and their respective series, have performed quite well, as Kohler points out, N-Space's Geist for the Gamecube was a critical disaster for the company. More »

No Online Multiplayer For Metroid Prime 3
This won't come as a surprise to just about anyone following the development of Wii-bound sequel Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, but Retro Studios president and CEO Michael Kelbaugh confirms it—there will be no online multiplayer component for the game. It was never announced, nor hinted at, but I'm sure there are some who demand answers (dammit!). Kelbaugh told GamePro that "We only have so many resources [and we] opted to devote those resources to making a better single-player experience." Fair enough. More »
