Metro3D, Inc. was an American video game developer and publisher. Based in San Jose, California, and founded in 1998,[1] the company released several games for the Dreamcast, Game Boy Color (GBC), Game Boy Advance (GBA), and PlayStation 2 (PS2) and Xbox consoles.[1]

History

[edit]

The formation of Metro3D was announced in April 1999, headed by the ex-Capcom employees Joe Morici and George Nakayama, after signing an agreement with Nintendo of America to become a third-party developer for Nintendo 64 and GBC games.[4][citation needed]

The company's CEO, Dr. Stephen C. H. Lin, and the U.S. branch of the company filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy on April 19, 2004, after defaulting on a series of loans from Cathay Bank totaling $6.5 million.[2] In June 2005, the European branch was sold off to Stewart Green of Green Solutions Limited (the parent of Data Design Interactive), who reestablished the publisher as Metro3D Europe Ltd.[5][3] In July 2005, Metro3D Europe announced that they had secured a deal with Data Design Interactive to publish their budget titles for the PlayStation 2 and Microsoft Windows.[6][7] The company continued releasing titles throughout the year and into 2006.[8][9] By 2007, Green Solutions folded Metro3D into Data Design Interactive.
