Nintendo just announced who bought Next Level Games, title developers like Luigi’s Mansion 3, Luigi’s Mansion Dark Moon and the Super Mario Strikers series.
Nintendo’s announcement says the deal is expected to end in March and “will serve to ensure the availability of NLG development resources for Nintendo.”
For me, I’ve read this and I can only see “it’s too late Super Mario Strikers, my boys “.
NLG’s history of working directly with Nintendo dates back to the early days of the studio, when it was published Super Mario Strikers to the GameCube in 2005. Other games the Canadian developer has released for Nintendo include Metroid Prime: strength of the federation in the 3DS and in 2009 Foradar !! remake of the Wii.
