According to a report from GamesIndustry, Nintendo is once again exploring partnerships with new studios that will make games based on its IPs. Nintendo has previously worked with third parties such as MercurySteam for Metroid Dread, WayForward on the Advance Wars remakes and PlatinumGames on multiple games. GamesIndustry is reporting that three studios are “deep in conversation around making games based on Nintendo brands.”
“I also know that Nintendo is actively meeting with independent developers to find new partners. Some of that is around publishing indie games, which Nintendo does from time-to-time, but it’s also seeking studios that could work on some of its IP. Nintendo regularly works with third-party teams, including Bandai Namco, Team Ninja, PlatinumGames, MercurySteam, WayForward and Grezzo. But the company is looking to add to that roster, and I know of three studios that are deep in conversation around making games based on Nintendo brands.”
There is no indication of which developers are in talks with Nintendo, but it will be interesting to see who it could be,
