Nintendo-First Party Thread |OT2| New Year. New Mii.
- Thread starter EAD Ninja
- Start date
- Status
Been thinking about E3 lately, since Ubisoft announced their presentation for June 10th. It was around this time last year (the 26th, to be exact) when Nintendo announced their plans, so I guess I'd expect to hear about what they have in store probably in the next week?
In all likelihood, we'll get a Direct, the Treehouse over 3 days, and a tournament or two.

Both 3D and 2D Zelda games are by EPD. Both SRD/Monolith and SRD/Grezzo are involved in the triad of development of each respective edition. Just like BOTW/Champions Ballad and just like Triforce Heroes. There's a lot of big games being developed by EPD, and many of them have several helpers on them. More will be announced.
Because I was hoping I get to play online co-op with NES Classic Online. But oh well.

Don't forget Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 falls in q2/3 somewhere
There also DQ Builder in like July, I think. And LABO VR in April, too.

Nintendo relisting Genius Sonority as one of their Japanese affiliate developers. They are also hiring. Probably another Pokemon puzzle game.

Nintendo also still hiring game planners and 3D CG designers for The Legend of Zelda series for their EPD Division in Kyoto.

another pokemon puzzle would be weird, but whatever. would like to see them do something relatively large again

I always saw them joining the AC team. Seemed like a natural fit for them to assist EPD with that series.

Hosokawa is definitely the GUY in charge of 2D Wario and Metroid. Under Sakamoto's watch of course.
I haven't been keeping up with this thread, but do people here expect some games to slip into 2020? There's currently more Nintendo-published games announced for the second half of 2019 than there are months without scheduled releases.
June: Super Mario Maker 2
July: Fire Emblem Three Houses
August: Astral Chain
September:
October:
November:
December:
Four months empty, but five games left over: MUA 3, Luigi's Mansion 3, Animal Crossing, Link's Awakening and Pokemon. I can't imagine they'd be releasing more than one game per month, right? And E3 will probably add even more games to the mix. I mean if Retro's title isn't announced and ready to release this year...
If only Ultimate Alliance was coming out really soon to capitalize on the Avengers hype!

No. This going to happen with Switch. Nintendo is focusing on one system and they publish third party games. Some months will double up.
Well, they are already publishing 2 titles in July (Fire Emblem and Dragon Quest Builders 2), and you need to add Dragon Quest XI to that slate of releases, so the odds of having more months with more than one Nintendo published titles are really high (and even if any of the announced games slip into 2020).
It was made by a developer known as INis. They're still around. Their last game was Rap Rabbit.
Rap Rabbit never released, it failed its kickstarter campaign.
if you read a few more posts after Vern's you'll see me mentioning this and that RR actually never materialized. Their last game was Just Sing for Ubisoft.
Thanks lol I feel like this conversation was like a week ago though. 😂
For those who missed it, in Japan, Nintendo is hiring a power circuitry developer (PCD).
It is most likely has to do with improving the USB-PD specifications on the dock, as it is mentioned in the job description. And they require English proficiency. Get to work on your resumes, folks!

When do you think we will see next 3D Mario? If it's on Switch (most likely is). I could see them doing Odyssey sequel and release it at Holidays in 2020. Some people could say that's too early but i think if they will once again use Odyssey engine 2020 Holiday is safe bet for me.
Galaxy -> Galaxy 2 was 3 years, Galaxy 2 -> SM3DW (w/ SM3DL inbetween) was 3 years. 2020 is not too early.
Actually Galaxy -> Galaxy 2 was like 2.5years. I just want another sandbox like Odyssey i don't need another SM3DW.
Looks like 8 more people were formally welcomed into Monolith Soft, supposedly making their total headcount 201. The English source is NintendoSoup so I don't know if the translation is actually accurate. MS' homepage hasn't been updated yet to reflect this.
In any case, make my studio grow!

they're now finally out of the niche studio size
It's kind of a quiet time right now, hopefully we get more insight into who is working on what come E3.
I understood that reference.
Maybe EAD Ninja wants to complete the OP before this thread moves to OT3? It looks quite finished, but I think it still misses at least Good-Feel and Camelot?
Also: the second post is currently hard to read on dark theme because the non-coloured text is mostly black instead of non-formatted.

Seems none of the major dev partners or subsidiaries have updated for the new FY yet
I was waiting for April 25th for Monolith to update their numbers
So in more practical terms, what does Genius Sonority being relisted here mean? They're still an independent company, right? Does it just mean that they'll be working on more games for Nintendo?
I thought GS started off at least partially funded by the Q-Fund...but I don't know if that's a thing anymore.
that was a long-ass time ago (GCN era). now, they're probably being employed for assistance like many other studios
Seeing Monolith Soft grow as much as it has warms my heart. A studio that puts out great content with a modest budget, in a reasonable time frame, and without overworking staff that are passionate about what they make. It's just awesome to see in today's industry.
Based on Google Translate though (I know, I know) it seems like some capital may be involved since they don't have the star mark.
So Genius Sonority is partially funded by Nintendo, then?
Nintendo was listed as a shareholder in the old website:

GS is 22 people large and hasn't really made anything but Denpa Men and Pokemon Trozei clones this decade so even if Nintendo does partially own them or is funding them or whatever it's unlikely to produce anything too exciting.
Not sure which thread was better to post this on, so I thought maybe both:
Maybe nothing, but Retro studios made some art as a goodbye present for Reggie featuring the games they've made.
There's a Mario Statue strategically positioned blocking some of the art...but there's a cartoon robot hand on the bottom left?
Here it is zoomed in:

it's not from Star Fox as those characters have 5 fingers. It's not from Federation Force as those have 3
I just read that Tsubasa Sakaguchi has been the director for LABO from the concepting process all the way through production and release. If I am remembering correctly, he was also one of the lead designers / directors on Splatoon right? Do we know what else he has worked on, or what other key creative talent are working on Labo?
