I want the Bowsers Fury team to handle the next one. Im dying to see the evolution of open world mario..
That's my guess too, though it might be hard. The reason I think they want that is to capitalize on the movies. Mario Movie in Spring, big Mario game in fall. Zelda could do the same, but they would have needed to have done something in parallel with ToTK production. Unless they just puss out and release a remake or something.
The Bowser's Fury team is the same as the Odyssey and Bananza team (allegedly).
That's kinda like saying that Spider-Man 2 had nothing to do with Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart.
Yes, both Insomniac and Nintendo EPD Tokyo have different teams, and the Rift Apart one isn't the same one that made Spider-Man 2.
In the case of Insomniac, 'teams' are pretty much just the director and lead staff, working with a pool of developers that jump from project to project, which hey, is exactly how Nintendo EPD Kyoto works. It's exactly why there's a ton of staff overlap between Miles Morales, R&C and SM2.
Both work in multiple games at the same time. Each one of these games is made by a different team, but this doesn't mean each worker remains in one of these teams forever, they may move from one to another as needed. In case of Insomniac, since at least the PS3 days they have been working on 3 or 4 games at the same time.
I think that's exactly what I said. Except that I don't see the idea of these ""teams"" being of a significant size.
The stuff you're referring to was before the EPD restructuring that changed a lot of stuff. They haven't been a multi project studio since 2015.
Shit your right, I got confused thinking it was 2 game cubes duct taped together.
Sorry what a typo lol I meant DK Bonanza
As posted before, after 2015 and Mario Odyssey they released Super Mario 3D All-Stars and Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury with a year of difference between them.
Uh... a remastered collection full of software emulation, which I'm pretty sure was made by NERD, anyway? This is not making the point you're thinking it does, grasping at straws.
I did, not a significant size of staff for it to be particularly relevant in the conversation.
My entire point is that while it could be the case, we *don't* know that, and there's no evidence suggesting that it is.
How dare you forget my boy Sakurai
i want this too
I shown you the evidence that proves that they always have been working in multiple games, and even supporting other ones leaded by other teams. That they don't have only one team that work in a single game and once done with it they move to the next game. But you don't want to accept it because of potatoes.
Equating a remaster collection that mostly uses software emulation (mainly made by another studio at that) and *some* support work to having two full fledged big projects is so stupid that I don't even know why I'm even discussing it. What exactly I'm not accepting here?
It's not as obvious when you literally have that very same studio -that has never been multi project ever since it became EPD a decade ago- just revealing a big project that isn't that.
There's a big difference: unlike them -at least until now- Polyphony works only in a single new game at the same time (plus now also supporting the previous one).
And once again, a remaster collection using software emulation developed by Nintendo European Research & Development (NERD) doesn't prove that they are multi project.
My First Gran Turismo is just a Gran Turismo 7 demo with a couple extra tutorials, not a commercial project.And once again, a remaster collection using software emulation developed by Nintendo European Research & Development (NERD) doesn't prove that they are multi project.
Super Mario Odyssey (October 2017), Bowser's Fury (February 2021), Donkey Kong Bananza (July 2025); it's up to you to do the math. Also, Polyphony Digital has released Gran Turismo for Beginners after Gran Turismo 7, so I guess that they're multi project now?
Which most likely had more effort put into it than Super Mario 3D All-Stars.
October 2017.
A remaster collection made by NERD. NOT a major project by EPD Tokyo.
February 2021 (3D World was fully ported by NST, btw).
July 2025.
All 90% developed by the Nintendo EPD Kyoto.
Yes, but what you don't seem to get is that the emulation software used on SM3DAS was entirely developed by NERD. This is an absolute non-factor for EPD Tokyo's capabilities of managing the creation of two major projects at the same time.
Lol. I'm not wrong, I just posted facts but you're a stubborn flatearther that can't accept, them trying to make laughable twists, lies and excuses like calling 'emulation' to remasters, trying to pass support teams as the ones who developed their projects while at the same time rejecting that they worked in other projects when they are the ones supporting, saying that a demo with a couple extras takes similar effort than a collection of remasters, etc.
Google is your friend:

Never dismissed the idea, but I'm wondering how the fuck you would even equate some support work to being able to create two big projects at the same time. It's a stupid correlation.
By the looks of things, if really looks like it did. There's a fucking reason that collection was hated for being a poor, lazy hack job.
Oki, bye..
