1-UP Studio is now hiring following a restructure earlier this year. The company’s staff count was reduced from over thirty members to just eighteen. Five graphic designers are wanted for field and character elements. New staffers won’t begin work until December.

While not confirmed, it’s possible that 1-UP may be helping out with development of Super Mario 3D World. You may remember that the team, when it was known as Brownie Brown, contributed to Super Mario 3D Land on the 3DS.

A few months ago, there was talk of Tribute Games becoming a licensed Nintendo developer. Some thought such news could result in a Wii U version of Mercenary Kings. However, while we’ve received official confirmation of Tribute’s dev status, the studio informed us that there aren’t any plans at present to bring the game over to Nintendo’s console.

Tribute co-founder Jean-Francois Major explained: “Considering the size of our team, we have to pick our battles.” For now, the company is focused on completing the PlayStation 4 and PC versions.

“In the end, we pick where we go to next based on where we see getting the biggest audience. A lot of people have been asking for a Vita port, not so much a Wii U one. So it can always help us guide our decisions.”

On the bright side, we were told that as former Game Boy Advance developers, Tribute “would love to go back on Nintendo consoles at some point.”
