I think he was fired because he said in 2022 that he wanted to do it until he died.

The thing that caught my eye was Metroid Dread. I wonder who's returning and who's new. Then again, the game could probably be mostly developed by another studio.

If I'm being honest though I don't really know what to expect. In that case, we'll just have to wait and see.

I know Mobile21 was a joint Nintendo/Konami venture as confirmed by the archived website/Nintendo Online Magazine.

(The archived website is at mobile21.co.jp and the logo is still available with the Nintendo/Konami link underneath it clear, so if you don't have it (given your extensive knowledge though you probably do) it's great to grab it.)

A few people like us with programming/gaming history knowledge are working on a project both to analyse the Mobile System GB and bring it back up (this is particularly notable right now because it seems unofficially the first new online Pokémon Crystal has been made since nearly 18 years, based on reversing the Mobile Trainer, adaptor, Japanese Crystal).

Do you know more about the background story on how Mobile21 worked on the game? Were there once plans for it to support the Mobile System GB too? Thanks!
While speculating, I believe the sound engine (voice effects) might be similar to Stakomi: Star Communicator by the KCE subsidiary of Konami.

The Starlink engine would be the base for the most extravagant and open-world Star Fox game ever conceived. It could very well be done as a quasi Star Fox 2 remake.

People are already claiming that Starlink is the closest Star Fox game fans could ever want.

Financially safer than the last outing too.

Thoughts?

And what do the unknown ones so far make?

Granted, it hasn't been that long since EPD was formed, but will we have to wait a while until we find out more about what projects each team tackles? Until E3 2018 in a few months?

Many sites credit Yoichi Yamada as a director of Zelda II, YAMAHEN.
But Yasuhisa Yamamura's nickname is Yamahemu（やまへむ） according to the interview in Link’s Awakening guide.
glitterberri. com/links-awakening/staff-list-interview/
And mu(む) can be pronounced as n(ん) in old Japanese.
So I supposed that YAMAHEN is Yasuhisa Yamamura.

Does anyone know the source that YAMAHEN is Yoichi Yamada?

Please forgive my poor English.

Nintendo / Monolith -> New Project (2018)

Went from being one of the main creators, to working with external developers on externally developed IPs. But I kind of think the Fatal Frame series Nintendo run may be done. I mean they funded a lot of games that didn't sell.

Let's see what's next for NST, Next Level Games, Headstrong, Vanpool, Arzest, and Vitei. I think one of those companies may be developing or co-developing Tank Troopers and Pikmin 3DS.
