What Nintendo's credits reveal about their top dev teams

  / nintendoforecast   - Thanks to members of the Patreon community. Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 are back, sharper than ever, and I’m diving in… but not just to play! On this channel, I love dissecting game credits because they can hint at Nintendo’s next moves—and the 2025 rereleases are no exception. In this video, we break down who worked on the Switch versions of Super Mario Galaxy 1+2, explore the involvement of Nintendo Software Technology (NST) and EPD 8, and see what these details might tell us about future projects—whether it’s another 3D Mario, a Donkey Kong revival, or even an original NST IP. From staffing overlaps to curious absences in the credits, we’ll explore patterns, long-shot theories, and probabilities of what’s next from Nintendo’s development teams. If you love behind-the-scenes Nintendo analysis, this is one deep dive you won’t want to miss.
