Nintendo acquires Next Level Games (Luigis Mansion 3, Super Mario Strikers Developers)
Nintendo just announced that it has purchased Next Level Games, the developers behind titles 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 be concluded in March, and “will serve to secure the availability of NLG development resources for Nintendo.”
NLG’s history of working directly with Nintendo dates back to the studio’s earliest days when it released Super Mario Strikers on the GameCube in 2005. Other games the Canadian developer has released for Nintendo include Metroid Prime: Federation Force on the 3DS and 2009’s Punch-Out!! remake on the Wii.
Personally, I hope this means we are getting some more Luigi’s Mansion greatness as Luigi’s Mansion 3 is easily a top 5 game on the Nintendo Switch.
