Analyzing Nintendo's Studios: Internal Teams

"Nintendo’s 2014 line-up is already looking to be truly fantastic. With several major games releasing in the next year, it appears to be shaping up to be an incredible time to be a Nintendo fan and a gamer. Even with so many huge titles on the horizon, those both unannounced or yet to be revealed are often more enticing than the ones we know so much about. The possibilities seem endless. With major Nintendo Directs appearing suddenly and without warning, we could have a bombshell dropped on us at any moment. With so many Nintendo franchises and studios, there’s no way of knowing what’s coming next.

Only that’s not completely true — while yes, we won’t know exactly what is coming until it is announced, what we can do is take a look at Nintendo’s extensive developmental resources, examine their histories and current statuses, and figure out what their next moves will be.

Great article. Can't wait to see the First party.

What's this? N4G... An article worth reading? What dimension is this?!

This is by far the most refreshing thing I've read in a while.

Geez, Nintendo is rather deep with development teams!!! great read and it's hard not to get hyped as a gamer when you factor in that they (nintendo) also has Monolith, Retro, Factor 5 and others to work with on games. I expect 2014 to be owned by Nintendo Wii U games. Its going to be Hit after Hit after Hit after Hit.

Dk TF
Bey 2
Mk 8
Smash
Hyrule Warriors
Watch Dogs
And all types of unannounced games.. Trust me there's a lot more.

Don't forget Intelligent Systems and HAL. I'm assuming the latter is working on Yarn Yoshi and Smash, but after that, who knows? I'd love a new Mother-title on the 3DS. Intelligent Systems will be in the early fases of a new project or two as we write.

Looking forward to the follow-up article about these other studios.

gedden74533d ago

Actually I believe Namco is working on smash with Nintendo directing. I remember reading that somewhere.

Blacklash934533d ago

We need a new Advance Wars from Intelligent Systems.

I'm sure relatively few people know about as compared to the icon franchises, but it's a fantastic Strategy series and one of Nintendo's best franchises in my opinion.

R00bot4533d ago

Nintendo has so many studios, even with so many games coming out in 2014 there must still be lots of games in development that we don't know about.

Why the Wii is Such a Nostalgic System in 2026

The Wii is now a retro console. Let’s get nostalgic about an often maligned system.

Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.

My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.

Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.

Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.
