Next Level excited about working on more Nintendo IPs, Dark Moon producer interested in Zelda/Mario
Next Level Games is now one of Nintendo’s most-reliable western developers. The studio completed arguably its best game ever in Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon, but previously worked on Punch-Out!! and the Mario Strikes titles.
Discussing the series of “steps” Next Level took as the team worked on new Nintendo projects, Dark Moon producer Ken Yeeloy said:
“Haha, it kind of feels like that! I think we’ve also been tagged in some circles as the ones who can revive old Nintendo franchises. I think we’ve solidified our studio’s ability to collaborate with Nintendo to create high quality games. I am certainly excited to see what IPs we get to work on next!”
And when asked what Next Level would like to work on assuming they had the choice, Yeeloy commented:
“Really, we are grateful to work on any Nintendo IP but if there are any wish-granting entities listening out there, we would love a chance to work on a Zelda or Mario game!”
