Team Ninja, Nintendo having their strengths “multiplied” from collaboration

This information comes from an interview with Team Ninja Producer Yosuke Hayashi…

“All of our members at Team Ninja, we have the utmost respect for Nintendo so we’re just honored to be working with such a great label brand company, you name it. At the E3 announcement at the Nintendo conference we were honored to share a brand new trailer with everyone. And at the end, there was a Team Ninja and sort of a symbol that’s an ‘x’ mark with Nintendo and what we see in that sort of line is that our strengths are being multiplied by being a collaborator with Nintendo and so hopefully that will show through in the final project.”

As was mentioned before, this really is quite a different project for Team Ninja. But it’s also odd for Nintendo in that they have handed off such a huge franchise to a third party developer. With that said, Team Ninja can definitely bring something new to the Metroid series and I’m sure that Other M won’t disappoint fans, especially with the oversight from Yoshio Sakamoto.
