Metroid Other-M 2 is finally coming.
They had/have a studio who worked on Other-M alongside Nintendo and Team Ninja.

Things they've assisted on (as one of at least half a dozen companies on most of these - they have a mo-cap studio, so their involvement could have been that):
Strange pick-up.
EDIT: Yeah, scrubbing through credits, anything bigger you see there is the mo-cap studio being rented out. Most of the stuff they've assisted on CG-wise is anime (latest Ghost in the Shell series, Back Arrow, blah blah). Very, very strange get.

From what I'm reading they've done a lot of assisting and co-production on some CGI anime stuff mostly. They worked on the latest Dragon Ball Super movie, as well as Kingsglaive FFXV, one of the Eva movies, and the CGI Resident Evil Netflix show.
This is probably a better link considering this isn't a game related acquisition:Things they've assisted on (as one of at least half a dozen companies on most of these):

They are CGI animators, FE isn't really working with CGI stuff.
You just think they'd go for a more notable company.
Last decade of games have all been CGI cutscenes ;(
Yeah these guys do a ton of outsource work for everyone.
It seems weird to buy a CG studio because they're all aiming to be the lowest bidder in a notoriously cheap-ass market. If you thought the game industry was bad, the Japanese CG industry is............yikes

I will be honest, I don't even remember if they actually ever did typical animated cutscenes
This is the very kind of company that would make sense. They are very seasoned, well staffed, has previous works with Nintendo, and has assets that can be immediately leveraged (mocap) for other ventures
these were so lovelyThey worked on the Pikmin Short Movies, so I imagine this is the type of content they'll be involved in.
10 years ago, they were trying to survive thr wii u. They may have been slow, but right now is actually one of the best times in their history to start this
I'd argue that the only Nintendo IPs this isn't relevant to is Fire Emblem, Kirby and Pokémon. Fire Emblem swifts around studios based on what Intelligent System wants to do with the series' visual brand, but they lean into studios with an anime-oriented background. Both the Awakening-era collaborations (with ANIMA and Trigger) and today's relationship with Sanzigen utilise a very specific subset of the anime industry. Kirby has some history with Studio Comet based on the early 2000's anime. I wouldn't expect them to return any time soon, but HAL is the type of company that would attempt to establish an in-house CG studio before outsourcing Kirby CG to Nintendo. Pokémon obviously has a very long relationship with OLM, but also many, many other high-profile studios via shorts and the like.
I think this is a strategic acquisition to establish an in-house culture and a viable production pipeline for CGI development of Nintendo EPD franchises specifically. This may be partially for cutscenes, but it may mainly be for direction of collaboration efforts with bigger external partners. Think EPD Production Group No. 6, but for animated content.
I mean, Other M cutscenes looked pretty good, which is what's relevant here. The writing is a different story.
Nice! The Pikmin shorts were great. I'm looking forward to whatever they make now that they are officially a part of Nintendo. I'd love to see more Animal Crossing cartoons.They worked on the Pikmin Short Movies, so I imagine this is the type of content they'll be involved in.
If we can get a full season of these or similar content for Zelda it would be amazing. Now I wonder who they got to do the Yoshi & Poochy commercials.They worked on the Pikmin Short Movies, so I imagine this is the type of content they'll be involved in.
Well, Wario Land on the Wii was fully animated by an anime studio. And you got handrawn cutscenes on the Link's Awakening remake to recreate the pixel art ones.
But in general Nintendo tends to avoid shifts between gameplay and cutscene art.
Edit: Ah, I see this was specifically about Fire Emblem, sorry for replying too fast. But yeah, that's the thing: the only Fire Emblem games with animated cutscenes have them in 3D to match the artstyle of the games. Shadows of Valentia did have some 2D scenes, but it was 95% 3D.

Miyamoto got jealous of Kojima hanging out with his cool hollywood friends so he convinces Nintendo to buy Chris Pratt because and I quote "he's so cool"
It's not that unusual for a major pub to have an inhouse CG studio; Square Enix has Visual Works, Sega has TMS/Marza, Bandai Namco has Bandai Visual/Sunrise, etc. Additionally Dynamo has extensive experience in Mocap and VR, which are also lacking areas in Nintendo's R&D portfolio. This acquisition covers several bases.
Prestige is one thing but Nintendo tends to value studio culture and their working relationship more than anything. Besides Nintendo has prestige to spare anyway, they're basically the top name in games publishing.
Indeed. They should AI upscale them to 4K and put them up on their Nintendo YouTube. Pikmin has the potential to be massive with children especially.

They already uploaded all three to their YouTube channels after they were delisted from 3DS and Wii U.

Hey, the plethora of streaming services will continue to need new content, Nintendo probably wanna tap into that money stream. 🤷♂️

That said, I was so happy when at one point they offered them via MyNintendo.
Not sure how it's boring. People have been asking for Nintendo cartoons for a long time
