Yeah. While this is being developed Bryce Holliday would be leading another game. I wouldn’t be surprised if we get another NLG in 2024 the latest.
I cant believe they did this just because i said retro wouldnt fit as an assist studio smhSince the game has now leaked, we know the credits and
Retro Studios assisted with development of Mario Strikers: Battle League
Retro Studios now relegated to NLG support studio
I see Retro getting there. I get Metroid Prime Remaster is in the same series as Prime 4, but they did work side by side (we’ll see when Remaster is announced). And they’ve only continued growing throughout.
I would love to see it but is hard right now to expect it after all that has happened since 2014, I think they will continue to deliver only high quality titles just dont expect them to do every 3 years like NLG (and probably the scope of their titles doesnt allow it to be fair)
I could imagine someone st nlg called someone at retro a few times for federation force, would that count?

More prolific than Monolith Soft ?
Well they both outsold Monolith's entire catalog with one game
If they can release a LM3/Strikers size game every two years, yes imo

Hi everyone. I was curious so I decided to do research on credits of LM3 and MSBL. I have a few questions though on stuff I did not understand.
1. What does "additional work" mean? I've been looking thru a lot of credits lately and these two games were first time I saw this.
2. I left out producers for NLG, as well Nintendo staff, production, and "operations" for LM3, as the former I just did not include and the later I do not understand. I would need help to understand.
3. I also did not include QA staff, as I know what it stands for but wasn't sure if its something people include when doing this.
4. I did not include other studios that were listed or their staff.
I find doing this fun and maybe people can use as a base or learn something? But I would love advice as I have trouble understanding a lot of stuff.
Logan Paul yes, but Mike Tyson? Nah
I’d imagine all the new mon designs for SV are finished so Turner probably helped out with them
Additional Work tends to be either Outsourced Studios or people with external Contracts
Something extremely common, might i add. You absolutely cant do everything in house
Wonder who will be gen 9 art director with him gone was assuming he was going to fill that role
I see, thanks. I thought it was something like that. But only NLG stuff has been listed like this so far.
I dont think i quite understood what you meant. Did you mean NLG was more descriptive of what the ''additional work'' meant? If so, well i guess it depends on the studio, but most nintendo studios seem to be very vague in that regard so im glad NLG explained.
maybe they poached the New Pokemon Snap art direction since the character design seems reminiscent of NSP
If I had to make a guess:

Sorry, I am not on phone now. I will try to explain a bit better. For the people listed as "additional work" for MSBL, a lot were on LM3 as well, and some not listed as "additional work" there. All the people on "design" were on both games. All the people on "engineering" were only on MSBL, and 2 our of 3 for "UI" were on both.
If I had to make a guess:
Maiko Fujiwara
Maiko Fujiwara is a graphic designer for Game Freak, mostly focusing on the 3D Map graphics. She joined in 2009 and started working on the Pokémon series with HeartGold and SoulSilver. With the series transition to 3D on the Nintendo 3DS, Fujiwara became 3D map graphics lead; she further moved...
3D Graphics Lead for XY/SM/SwSh and the Art Director for USUM.
Mana Ibe is another decent possibility:
Mana Ibe
Mana Ibe is a graphic designer for Game Freak. She got her start as a trading card designer and started with support on Pokémon Platinum. Most of her work has been done on 3D map graphics, being 3D art director with Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, as well as 3D map graphic lead on other titles...
Could easily be someone different, though. Sugimori has seemingly stepped back as a whole and Iwao had a significant role on Arceus.
Honestly, beautiful news to me, Retro is active.Since the game has now leaked, we know the credits and
Retro Studios assisted with development of Mario Strikers: Battle League
Retro Studios now relegated to NLG support studio
My fault, I meant Takao Unno not Iwao lol
I do wonder what they did.
probably some asset work. might just be the DKC assets touched up, but it could be more.
I hope we get some interview about the development of Strikers, maybe they talk about Retro help in the game. (And also the change in working in Strikers in 2005 vs in 2022)
Tyson was literally imprisoned for rape. It's also partly why Nintendo dropped him from the Punch-Out games.
holy shit I didn’t know that wtf

I see. Thank you for explaining.
This would imply that Bryce Holliday is working on another project, as he’s also listed as one of the studio directors for the company so he’s likely still there.
I liked the change that they made of moving the non-Nintendo games only because it looked weird before because only Nintendo games had the trademark
I think Retro is treated special in that sense when you compare it to the other Nintendo companies not just NLG. For example when NDCube makes a game we also don’t know it when they announce it (most people don’t even know that NDCube exists really) .Retro and to a lesser degree Monolith Soft , are the only studios Nintendo makes clear they are the ones working on a project
That makes sense. But i dont like it. I wish nintendo would give more flair to their other studios other than Retro and Monolith.
