Nintendo is once again staying tight-lipped about the studio behind one of its upcoming games - this time, the company declined to confirm who’s making Mario & Luigi: Brothership.
When asked about which studio is behind the game, Nintendo gave a now-familiar answer toGame File: “Some of the original developers who worked on the franchise are involved in the development of Mario & Luigi: Brothership. For more information about the developers, please stay tuned to the game credits at release.”
Nintendo has been oddly secretive about the developers behind some of its third-party games, as itrefused to creditthe Super Mario RPG studio pre-release. This became amajor talking pointwhen Nintendo similarly wouldn’t confirm Good Feel as the developers behind this year’s Princess Peach: Showtime, despite the studio’s stellar reputation.
Nintendo’s secretive habit is definitely unusual in an industry that normally shares such information via a press release or a logo at the end of trailers. Maybe the company wants to retain aDisney-esque air of mystery around its releases as if these magical games grow on even more magical trees. But, hey, turning your developers into selling points isn’t a bad thing - knowing Christopher Nolan directed Oppenheimer didn’t hurt the box office, right?
