Nintendo just announced that it bought Next Level Games, like the developers behind titles Luigi’s Mansion 3, Luigi’s Mansion Dark Moon and the Super Mario Strikers series.
According to Nintendo’s announcement, the deal is expected to close in March and “serve to secure the availability of NLG development resources for Nintendo.”
For me I read that and can only see “it is time for more Super Mario Strikers, my guests. “
NLG’s history of working directly with Nintendo dates back to the earliest days of the studio when it was released Super Mario Strikers on the GameCube in 2005. Other games that the Canadian developer released for Nintendo include Metroid Prime: Federation Force on the 3DS and 2009’s Punch-Out !! remake on Wii.
