This information comes from Nintendo Power…

“I’m really happy that the game was so well received in North America. I definitely want to make a sequel. I’m very busy working on other titles right now, but when the time is right, I would love to make another installment of The World Ends with You.” – Tetsuya Nomura

I’m not too sure how well The World Ends with You sold, but there’s no question that it had an overwhelmingly positive critical reception. There are also a ton of DS owners that greatly enjoyed the title. It’s nice to know that there’s a good chance we’ll see a sequel in the future… Perhaps on the 3DS?

Thanks to Slippy for the tip!

NdCube

– Started out as a Nintendo subsidiary (GameCube/GBA development)
– Was a joint venture, 78% shares for Nintendo, 13% shares for Dentsu
– Dentsu is Nintendo’s advertising firm
– Company struggled, some employees left for Sony
– NdCube has seen a massive overhaul this year, Dentsu’s shares were bought out, Nintendo now the sole proprietor
– Company is now more of a Nintendo R&D rather than a subsidiary
– Company has expanded, second division in Sapporo and Tokyo established, both are close to Nintendo’s branch offices

Mario Party

– Franchise could become less relevant
– Wii Party has been successful
– Lead staff has left Hudson, joined Nd Cube
– Original staff was a join venture, Monegi, created by Nintendo and Hudson
– Nintendo wanted to capture a larger audience with Wii Party than Mario Party could

Metroid: Other M

– Always had plans for a deep story
– Game development became much different than the game that was first conceived
– Because of the advancement in technology/development, Sakamoto has been able to express the story himself, original design team has encapsulated
– Game is a “romantic” project for Sakamoto
– Ideas thought of by Sakamoto that were formed in past years are in the game

This information comes from a High Voltage Software representative…

“I can confirm that High Voltage Software has reduced some of our staffing based on our current production requirements and predictions of what is needed for the remainder of 2010. We are sad to have to say goodbye to these employees and friends, but these changes are necessary to bring our organization to a healthy operational size.”

According to the High Voltage Software, 25 employees were let go from the company. At the moment, there are no plans to remove any additional staff members.
