Retro Studios Interview / Edge
Edge lobbed my most recent piece for them online during the Christmas lull when I wasn’t paying attention, so here’s a link to it now! You can read it in the January issue which features a fetching Ryu (or Ken) cover, too, and enjoy the experience of reading words written on paper, which is very lovely.

I don’t like Ken, for some reason. It annoys me that, for quite a while, Ryu has generally been a lower tier character compared to Ken (even in Puzzle Fighter!)

He used to be front and centre. What happened with that? Are they using the white American to sell games in Europe and the US?

Everyone knows Blanka is the best Street Fighter character. And by “everyone knows,” I do in fact mean “I think.”

“Since being handed the license to make Metroid games in 2000, the Texas-based Retro Studios has quietly worked on the franchise and only rarely granted interviews. However, after the release of Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, Retro’s final Metroid game (for the foreseeable future), we took the chance to speak with company president Michael Kelbaugh and game director Mark Pacini.”
I chose Ryu too. I haven’t had a chance to take it out of the packaging yet.
