Nintendo announced this week a brand new Mario & Luigi RPG, officially called Mario & Luigi: Brotherhood. Like most of the company’s new releases today, it wasn’t ready to reveal the team behind this Switch project, but now we have a little update on it.
Game File Stephen Totilo asked a Nintendo representative who the Brotherhood developer is now that AlphaDream is no longer in action, and while they wouldn’t divulge this information, apparently “some of the original developers who worked on the franchise are involved.”
As recorded by VGCsome of the team members remaining at Nintendo after AlphaDream’s demise include the company’s former head of development Hiroyuki Kubota (now at Monolith Soft), and Mario & Luigi director and producer Yoshihiko Maekawa, who most recently oversaw the Switch version of Super Mario RPG.
As for the timing of the reveal of the developer behind the new Mario & Luigi game, according to a Nintendo representative, fans will just have to wait and see “the credits for the game at release.” They are there noticeably many theories that are already circulating on the Internet.
While Nintendo has recently been quite secretive about the developers behind certain projects, things don’t always go according to plan. Earlier this week, official filings seemingly revealed that Polish company Forever Entertainment is involved in the development of Donkey Kong Country Returns HD for the Switch.
