Hey everyone, staff have documented a list of banned content and subject matter that we feel are not consistent with site values, and don't make sense to host discussion of on Famiboards. This list (and the relevant reasoning per item) is viewable here.

One of these days BAM! NST will surprise us with a Project H.A.M.M.E.R. remake.

Doing both MvDK and F-Zero 99 at the same time seems reasonable.
Neither are huge.
Hope NST gets to make a GX sequel after this.
GX remake would be pretty disappointing, do a full sequel with tons of multiplayer options and more single player content and a good story and character designs.

Not sure if NST really has the skillset for a GX sequel, a Climax sequel might make more sense looking at 99
Can I have a link to the Instagram story? I would like to source the fact NST is working on this game on the Mario Wiki.

Underrated thing NST made: The 3DS version of Mario Maker, which secretly had a single player campaign with all original levels in it.
Well they also had Bowser's Fury in 2020.

As well as porting over the Captain Toad games and I believe handling the Captain Toad DLC for Switch. Developed SMM 3DS and may have provided some assistance with SMM2.

Why Tose instead of Grezzo.

People want Grezzo to do its own thing. New IP's preferably, like Ever Oasis. The studio is led by Koichi Ishii, creator of Mana and his talents kinda go waste with Nintendo remakes. He excels in action RPG's.

Also interesting that Tetris 99/Super Mario Bros. 99 director Ryuichi Nakada had no involvement with F-ZERO 99. Wonder what he's working on.
TOSE has an extensive history with both Square and Nintendo. The studio also has over 600 staff.
It's all just shooting in the dark for the time being.
Because Grezzo has been hiring for a new project that's been described as a "new original work" since February 2021 and they just released Jet Dragon.

We should get Mario RPG developer soon considering games get their age ratings around 2 months from release at worst. Iirc is the Australian board the ones that tends to give developer names?

I've been keeping on eye on it they seem to have tightened things up on that end. The last time a rating for a Nintendo title appeared on the Australian rating site before its release was just after the February 2022 Direct.

I'm putting a soft bet on Grezzo making the Another Code remakes btw.
though I wouldn't call it secretly. it's just that everyone ignores it because they prefer the cheap dunk about it not having online sharing of levels. the SMM 3DS campaign is top-tier 2D Mario and everyone who skipped the game because the editor didn't have online sharing which they wouldn't use anyway has my pity.

or at least on the product pages of the website where they sometimes list them, sometimes not.

But then, what about this list? I don't know where the source is from, the leak is from September 10, and it gets things right, but on the other hand there are others that have not appeared in the Direct...
It's very strange.
It seems very complicated to me to guess the things about the Direct... the list says that they are games focused on the first half of 2024, but FZero GX appears in December 2023.
How weird.
Under the image I leave the link to the tweet with the date of September 10.
I am DYING. This is some 2015-ass looking "TOP SECRET PLS DO NOT SHARE LULZ" printout level "leak". Ignore ANYONE who looked at this and didn't burst out laughing. And especially ignore anyone who shared it.
I'm 100% certain that is exactly not what they're doing. Simply because it's such a straight line from Link's Awakening. Way too boring.
that's way too LADX. the more your prediction sounds exactly like a thing they've done before, the more likely it is that it's quite off.

My prediction is that a 2D Zelda will be cross gen but if you play it on Switch 2, you get an extra area or dungeon that uses a gimmick or feature of that system.

Paper Mario TTYD is officially credited to IS btw. No need to speculate about anything there.

Put their names at the start of trailers, in the press releases, maybe a logo when you boot up the game. That kind of stuff; they do it sometimes (Metroid Prime having a big ol' "Retro Studios presents" title card being maybe the most prominent example) but it's not super consistent on a macro level.
It'd just be nice if they were more up-front and open about who's making what. Like, at an Xbox or Sony show, it's never really a mystery whether a game is being made by Obsidian or InXile, or Guerrilla or Sucker-Punch, but here we are 3 months later tossing half a dozen possible names around when it comes to the developers behind the new Peach game and Mario RPG remake.

I wouldn't be surprised if Another Code Recollection was EPD2 by way of Shinya Saito producing, since he was a producer on the original games. Can't even begin to guess what studio they're working with, though.

Imaging putting out ANOTHER Zelda remakes. We’ve gone a decade without a brand new mainline 2D Zelda. Fans root say too much for more remakes. Ask for something new over old.
That's almost a given considering EPD 2 is basically XDev right now. They oversee all of Nintendo's external games. The real question is what EPD 1 has been doing this whole time.

I actually subscribe to the theory that RPG is them. Was there any evidence to the contrary? I know there was some debate about the art fidelity but I think that could be the result of stylistic choices
- Pronouns

This tweet from Taisuke Kanasaki states his involvement as art director, including responsibility for the game's box art. He now works at Arc System Works, but I'm not sure if that means the studio is involved or not. He was the director for the first Another Code and for Hotel Dusk back in the day.
Oh good! Always helpful when the website or eShop pages actually mention who's doing what. Intelligent Systems would've been my first choice for this one (and are the obvious choice), but still nice to have official confirmation at least. With the credits for F ZERO 99, and LinkedIn posts, we also know NST did that and Mario vs DK.Paper Mario TTYD is officially credited to IS btw. No need to speculate about anything there.

The team structure probably doesn’t really make Nintendo think about this + partner studios heading a specific franchise. For smaller projects or ventures is looking like where it becomes an issue as we can see here with about three different games.

confused about the timeline,someone who left in january 2022 is in the credits,the contracts of those who worked on f-zero and the mario vs dk ones ended around the same time,both games are finished, but some contracts are still active,only half of the game designers are credited and two in support positions, mario vs dk dont seem to have new content,probably there is a third project ? support for epd tokyo

Catching up with the Direct announcements...
Think it's clear that the road from SMB Wonder to Switch 2 will be heavy on the remasters and remakes; just a handful of original titles in-between.
It's curious that NST tackled two of the games we saw last night; even if one is a digital-only battle royale and the other is a remake it's still nice to see them managing their own projects again after over half a decade of support. If anything, I hope MvDK can eventually lead to a new installment following that gameplay formula (AKA DK94 3); Mario Party and Paper Mario are pretty much in the same boat right now too (remake that returns to fan-favourite gameplay forumla), so we'll have to see how they each evolve from here.

It's from EPD Production Group No.02 (the same Pikmin 1+2 production group) and including the newly appointed EPD Co-Production Group (Masamichi Abe) that operates in the US. Also Nintendo programmers and Nintendo Systems and SRD handled all the network features it looks like. Takeshi Hayakawa from EPD Tokyo, was the "technical producer", which has some connection to the engine they used.
But it's definitely the first "standalone" NST game. Maybe they can do others.
They were involved in the production, like Bowser's Fury, but they were a leg of the Japan team. Mario Maker's levels were still designed by EPD and Mario Club.

Since F-Zero 99 is running in the 3D Mario engine, I'm willing to guess that the Mario vs. Donkey Kong remake, also by NST, is using the same engine too due to their familiarity with it with their experience with Captain Toad and 3D World.

Yes. A lot of times only the publisher is listed in in the announcements. Sometimes you can find more info in their site, like i can do with bandai namco in their site. but its harder to do with SE, Nintendo and other companies who dont list it in their website. this is more common from western devs i htink

Remember that short period of time where they were releasing a bunch of multiplayer coop games?? like federation force, triforce heroes, kirby boss fighter thing...
We need games like that, but make them better lol.
This was the strategy for the 3DS during the first few years of the Switch. Lots of remasters and low-budget games to keep it alive until the new system establishes itself.Catching up with the Direct announcements...

Sorry
Edit: Okay, so I looked through it all. Isn't there like 2 Zelda teams within that one group? Seems like we rotate 2D and 3D zeldas and we usually do not say that the 2D Zelda impaired the 3D Zelda's development time.
It also says that the 3D mario team has an unannounced 2D game in the works. Is that not Mario Wonder also? (I know that is listed under the 2d mario team)

Not necessarily the most realistic, but what an arc for NST if they became the F-Zero team.
But even with F-Zero 99 I'm not sure Nintendo would trust them (or the IP) to jump right into a new F-Zero before doing something like a GX remake.
