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. 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. 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. 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. The company continued releasing titles throughout the year and into 2006. By 2007, Green Solutions folded Metro3D into Data Design Interactive.
