Someone who wants to be part of a creative and collaborative team and who will be thrilled to work on Nintendo’s awesome IPs! This is an excellent opportunity for someone to get their foot in the door at an awesome studio!

Retro Studios is in Austin, TX, USA and is known for our work on the Metroid Prime series and lately the Donkey Kong Country series: both Donkey Kong Country Returns and Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze.
