Once the new buildings are ready and new developers hired, what are the odds of another restructure?
I feel like we barely know the current structure of the development teams, god knows what will happen if they change it up againOnce the new buildings are ready and new developers hired, what are the odds of another restructure?
I would probably replace Ring Fit with Luigi's Mansion on your list. RFA is so tied to the hardware itself I don't have confidence it will become a staple series such as the others. I'm sure Nintendo will contiue to explore and pursua similar experinces, but likely under a different IP. In my opinion it is closer to Wii Fit.
Imo you can read RFA as a successful and representative stand-in for "experimental blue ocean projects tied to unique hardware peripheral R&D". Labo moved some good units but it wasn't the runaway success that RFA ended up being eventually (impacted by the global pandemic context, naturally).I don't think motion gaming is going anywhere with Nintendo, and unlike Wii Fit, it doesn't have a naming problem. I can see Ring Fit becoming a staple franchise.
Well we do know the structure, we just don't really know who's running the projects and who is exactly and currently group manager like we used to when they frequently interviewed them (Iwata Asks) and when PR kits had short bios in them for interviewable and present devs.I feel like we barely know the current structure of the development teams, god knows what will happen if they change it up again

Any support devs?The Giga Wrecker director and Little Town Hero art director have lead positions here, along with Kazumasa Iwao who was the planning director for SwSh.
Interesting that Masuda wasn't a producer on this game, only a supervisor.
One of the composers is Hiromitsu Maeba, who previously worked at Capcom. Not sure if they're a GF employee now or just freelance. No Minako Adachi, so she's either the Gen 9 music lead or working on a Gear Project game.
Lots of other no-shows who are likely working on Gen 9.

GF seems to have worked with a lot of these companies before, particularly on SwSh. Monolith isn't listed, but neither is Creatures and I know they were involved because the Pokemon CG Studio lead is credited.PROGRAMMING PARTNERS

Grezzo “New Project“ summary
- Action game
- An “original work”
- Has likely been in development since Link’s Awakening released in Late 2019
- Said to have a “medieval” and “stylsih” aesthetic
- Grezzo looking for artists with experience in creating UI for 3D games (this is vague, as the game could be on a fixed plane)
- Possibly runs on Unity
would would MonolithSoft be credited? They only assist specific EPD project groups.GF seems to have worked with a lot of these companies before, particularly on SwSh. Monolith isn't listed, but neither is Creatures and I know they were involved because the Pokemon CG Studio lead is credited.
I only brought it up because it had been reported recently.would would MonolithSoft be credited? They only assist specific EPD project groups.
Yea I just read up on some of that talk in the MonolithSoft development thread after posting. I'm glad I don't waste my time with those silly rumors anymore.I only brought it up because it had been reported recently.
I think that was a misinterpretation. That was just the same outsourcing company - Seven DreamsI only brought it up because it had been reported recently.
It makes sense, for many smaller sized studios maintaining a proprietary engine isn't worth itinteresting to see where third parties who worked close to Nintendo end up as far as tools go. before many used inhouse engines since they worked on 3DS games. now they moved to Unity or, more rarely, UE4

for everything but the switchPlease be a new IP
Camelot has maintained their own tools. they made the transition quite well and their games are a looker. wonder how the engine would fair with a more open game, say like a Golden Sun revivalIt makes sense, for many smaller sized studios maintaining a proprietary engine isn't worth it
Time for Nintendo to buy them before that happensfor everything but the switch
Indeed. 4 years is a good amount of time. Good Dane launch year material for sureAs part of my unhealthy addiction to speculation, I'm parking Grezzo New IP in 2023's software line up.
I hope it's an interesting fantasy ARPG/RPG IP would be nice to have more of those kinds of games in the Switch lineup.As part of my unhealthy addiction to speculation, I'm parking Grezzo New IP in 2023's software line up.
Wouldn't that make it a 2024 title, then?Good Dane launch year material for sure
