Programmer Mark Haigh-Hutchinson died this past Tuesday of pancreatic cancer at the age of 43. My sincerest condolences go to the family he’s left behind. Mark was most recently known for his work as part of Nintendo’s Retro Studios on the Metroid Prime trilogy, and his prior legacy is impressive, to say the least.
Haigh-Hutchinson’s illustrious career spans decades. He worked on such classics as Paperboy before joining LucasArts in the late ’80s, where he went on to co-develop titles like Star Wars: Dark Forces and Rebel Assault. Nintendo fans will better remember him as the project leader and contributing programmer on such N64 games as Star Wars: Shadow of the Empire and Star Wars: Rogue Squadron.
