Nintendo president on Next Level Games acquisition, not actively buying studios
Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
For several years now, Next Level Games has essentially been a Nintendo-only developer. The company committed to making titles for the Big N back in 2014. Their partnership goes back to 2005 with Super Mario Strikers, and has worked exclusively on Nintendo projects since Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon.
That relationship is about to take another step. Last month, Nintendo announced that it is acquiring Next Level Games. President Shuntaro Furukawa commented on the move in an interview with Nikkei, and also discussed acquisitions in general.

After more than 500 days, Nintendo Directs as we know them finally made a proper return. A ton of upcoming titles from both first-party Nintendo studios and third-parties were shown.
Nintendo kicked off the presentation with Smash Bros. Ultimate, revealing Pyra/Mythra as the next DLC character. Other announcements included Splatoon 3, Mario Golf: Super Rush, Zelda: Skyward Sword HD, Miitopia, Famicom Detective Club localization, and Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity DLC. Project Triangle Strategy, Fall Guys, Ninja Gaiden Master Collection, Legend of Mana remaster, and Knockout City were among the third-party announcements. You can find the full breakdown of what was shown here.
Now that we’ve all had a few days to reflect, how are you feeling about the Nintendo Direct? What was your personal highlight from the presentation? Let us know in the comments below.

Grezzo seems to be working on Miitopia for Switch
Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Nintendo has ported quite a few of its previous games to Switch, but not many probably would have predicted that Miitopia would get a second shot on the system. Yet earlier this week, it was announced that the 3DS title is returning on the Big N’s current console. Although it’s largely the same RPG as it was on 3DS, the Switch version will have some additional elements like makeup and wigs for Mii customization.
What might be even more interesting about Miitopia on Switch is the developer behind it. Apparently, the porting task has been given to Grezzo. That’s according to the official UK website, which credits the studio alongside Nintendo.
