    ADDENDUM: Although I compared credits for Bowser's Inside Story+Bowser Junior's Journey and Superstar Saga+Bowser's Minions, I made a typo in my search for Paper Jam so there are actually two more people to credit:
    - Chihiro Fujioka who did World Design for Paper Jam and who was also credited on the 2020 Olympics game; and
    - Jun Iwasaki on battle design as he was in 2015.
    It may be that there are people who worked in the pre-2015 titles - I didn't go back that far.

    This video actually made me sad. I’ve known since the day they shut down that AlphaDream was no more and yet I never really thought much about it until now; this was basically their series. Aside from a few other games, this was their legacy. As much as I’m loving brothership so far, it doesn’t feel like a continuation of the previous games but it also doesn’t feel like a reboot? Either way it just hits hard knowing that they aren’t around anymore. I’m really glad Nintendo decided to take a chance and try a new game though, really shows how much they valued this series and the fans

If they had remained exclusive to Sony, they would have never garnered the creative freedom and the massive playerbase of PC and Xbox. It was a big deal when they ported the original Dark Souls to PC and it propelled the popularity of the Souls genre.

    Hmm. If I remember correctly, when Brothership leaked, people on Famiboards counted 6 AlphaDream alumni being involved with Brothership. You did miss at least one: Jun Iwasaki, who worked on battle design for every prior game in the series according to MobyGames, took the role of lead battle game designer for Brothership.
    It does also feel a bit odd to say "barely anyone from AlphaDream actually returned" while kind of downplaying the pedigree of those involved. Both directors of Super Mario RPG worked on Brothership, for instance.

    This talk of brothership has me wondering what the budget was, and how long it was in development for. Seems to be much more ambitious than any previous Mario and Luigi game, which leads me to believe Nintendo is going to push this game hard.

      If I remember somewhere on the game’s Wikipedia page, Nintendo filed a trademark of the Mario & Luigi series in January of 2020, 3 months after its original company AlphaDream filed bankruptcy so I’m assuming it had been worked on for 4 years?

    Many of Acquire's games that were Sony exclusives have been ported onto Switch as well, so it's not like Acquire were unfamiliar with the system. They are very good at working with graphical limitations, as well as their talent for expressive animation, so they were a very good choice. I wonder if maybe AlphaDream's management were asking for a little too much, maybe that's why they went under so quickly. A lot of these smaller Japanese studios seem to regularly have funding problems, it seems.

    • @nintendoforecast
      @nintendoforecast  3 дня назад +5

      I can't see any discrete writing credit which isn't uncommon for Nintendo games (or even M&L games) where the story is often worked out long after the gameplay mechanics. On Echoes of Wisdom, a lot of it came from Aonuma himself but he has no additional credit and on the Iwata Asks for Dream Team they discuss collectively having an idea so I guess it's largely a team effort among the senior people - Kobayashi and Maekawa but also potentially some of the new Acquire and EPD people pitching in too.

    Why do Nintendo games keep flopping nowadays? Peach Showtime, Mario vs DK remake, Another Code Recollectio, Endless Ocean Luminous, Zelda EoW, Super Mario Party Jamboree, Zelda EoW, Luigi Mansion 2 HD etc

    • @nintendoforecast
      @nintendoforecast  4 дня назад +4

      EoW did well, Jamboree was well received and the others were very minor games. Remember that a huge part of Nintendo's sales at this point will be its evergreens so can't blame them for keeping their powder dry on major titles for the next system.
