I know it's too early to see anything or even hear anything substantial, but it would be nice to know if he is indeed working on something new.

bolded: still happening. as recent as earlier this year (on USGamers RPG podcast).
bonus nit pick: pls say monolithsoft, we also regularly get people thinking of US dev Monolith whenever a new MLS thread gets made and they go "huh, the FEAR devs made Xenoblade?"

Does anybody happen to keep a list of all games developed by Nintendo?
You can find lists of published games easily enough, but seemingly nothing complete for development. Just wondering if anybody can save me some time before countless hours of wiki trawling

Nintendo should just hire the Dolphin team. Dolphin runs at 1080p60fps on the nvidia shield AKA a Switch.

go to OP, click on Shikamaru's profile, click on his website link
or if you just want a list, go to giantbomb and click through the various nintendo team and studio pages.
It's not that easy tho.
Take a guy like P. Bourdon who is "Dolphin Emulator developer and maintainer". He's also a Google engineer, it's his real job, and live in Switzerland. You can't expect a guy who already have a good job (I think) to make life-changing decisions and go to the nearest place he can work for Nintendo, i.e. Paris.
All we got for now is NERD engineers following his work, and that's already great.
Ugh. When will it end?

Oh! It's the first time I've seen that site, whoa.
Thanks for the info

I don't agree with Zelda being story driven. If anything, usually the stories in Zelda games feel like afterthoughts. The games are driven by gameplay and puzzles.

I agree with you, but I guess he meant they're the big AAA linear (most of the 3D games were) adventure for Nintendo. It's obviously not Uncharted, but if you look in their portfolio, that's their equivalent.

Can we update the affiliates part? HAL is making Kirby's Blowout Blast and another Kirby game for 3DS. And IS must been working on FE warriors. Also I guess Spike-Chunsoft is helping Etrian Mystery Dungeon 2.
TheMoon

IntSys has nothing to do with FE Warriors (aside from mild supervision maybe). Koei Tecmo/Omega Force/Team Ninja is making this.

I mean they must have been helping on the character choice, design, music, etc. Like how Aonuma helping HW.

Well yea but that's barely something worthy of calling "working on" in any meaningful capacity. That's just a producer hopping into a meeting going "yup! nah! yup! try this instead!" while their actual dev teams are doing what they do (thinking of ways to make TTYD fans angry).

The Nintendo production side is handling most of that, just like Tokyo Mirage Sessions.

Well, he knows we'll get a ton of announcements and updated company info from the press site with updated producer lists, titles, etc and know what certain groups are doing.
Joke? Or is this for real?

You know it's E3 and tomorrow is Nintendo's thing, right?
We all know tomorrow is just 2017 known titles though or have you not been paying attention to predictions here in NeoGAF?

So it seems safe to say at this point that the Pikmin game Miyamoto was referring to was Hey Pikmin, no?

I'm guessing by a new team, it's an internal team working on Prime 4? The press sheet list the developer as "Nintendo".
I don't think so. It find it easier to believe that the Pikmin team were working on the Wii U, but had to eventually move over to Switch as opposed to leaving an Arzest game sitting for almost 2 years.
Plus, it seems that one of the two Pikmin 3 directors hasn't worked on anything since.

I was going to ask the same thing. Hopefully pikmin 4 will be a thing

We don't know what the Pikmin 3 or Super Mario Maker leads are doing yet. May be sequels or may be new projects.
NinjaCoachZ

Surely we would have seen it by this point if it was "close to completion" in 2015. We know of four Switch games for beyond 2017, and more-or-less the complete 2017 lineup, and Pikmin is not among them nearly 3 years after the fact. Occam's razor just makes me think the Pikmin game that's near-done and "going to be revealed soon" (at E3 2016) is the one we've already seen and is near-done. Plus it makes sense to have been working on a 3DS game around 2014-2015. Arzest would have been freed up from Yoshi's New Island.
Point is I think if Pikmin 4 is happening, I don't think that's the game Miyamoto was talking about back in 2015.

Yes, sadly.
Speaking of which
Ninja, you still have this in the 2017 list
could use a rename, along with BoxBoy 3 Shikamaru Ninja

Slowly updating. Too chaotic right now.
In other news, interesting Nintendo didn't show off any new Japan R&D games. Especially all those casual games Takahashi said they were developing in-house.

Interesting. I'm still not sure if it was "close to completion" in 2015 but it's good to know that there is indeed something after Hey Pikmin. I have a feeling it's probably a ways off like 3 was when he first mentioned it but hey, we'll see.
Hey that's pretty exciting that it's still happening. I recently got a chance to play Pikmin 3 and absolutely loved it, so I'm stoked for the next game in the series!

Sushi Striker for 3DS eshop from Nintendo announced today. Supposedly more announcements tommorrow (Donkey Kong retro tease? retro not Retro Studios btw).
Fact sheet says Sushi Striker is co-developed by indieszero, but lists Nintendo as the main developer. Which EPD team do you think is involved in that game? I'm thinking Group 8 since indieszero previously worked with that team for the NES Remix titles, but the art style screams Group 7 (Rhythm Heaven). indieszero is also based in Tokyo, which could lend credence to Group 8.
how many years has the next AC been in the works, because holy moly... i cant believe amiibo festival and HHD took that long to make. it was almost all recycled assets. the last console AC was 2008? while i wasn't surprised they skipped wiiu in the end, its hard to imagine they didn't have a console version in the works.
they've milked new leaf to death...
at this point im guessing late 2018 or spring 2019 for us... T___T

Why is Metroid Prime 4 listed as 2018?
It seems like Next Level started making this game after Federation Force which would give a 2019 release.

I do have a feeling they were planning an AC on Wii U but scrapped it when they realized the system wasn't going anywhere. I can easily see it out in 2018. Summer would be good, but it would also be a nice, cozy winter game too.

Takehiko Hosokawa got name-dropped by Sakamoto on Treehouse Live as director from Nintendo EPD for Metroid: Samus Returns. Hosokawa worked on the original Metroid 2 as graphic designer and was last the director on Other M for the series.
Also, a second confirmation for Yamamoto and Hamano handling music duties, this time they were named specifically.

I thought the Animal Crossing team has been making Splatoon and Splatoon 2 in the last few years? So they haven't spent all this time on a new AC I guess

Next Level? Wut?
From what they've said, it sounds like a japanese team. But yeah, definitely nothing before 2019.

... The OP lists Next Level as the developer of Metroid Prime 4.
That sounds about right. Most of us can agree that a true Wii-U version was in the works before Nintendo told them to put it on the Switch.
If we are lucky it is a 2019 game. I feel like this is a 2020 game

I'm really glad Retro isn't doing Metroid Prime 4. That means we still get a Metroid game on Switch as well as whatever Retro is doing.

with ?? after that.

It's the same producer and the same division, but it's otherwise not the same people who work on both series.
