It is still unclear whether he's completely leaving or not. Hopefully he stays a bit longer at least as an advisor.

  • It may have started as an S2E but there's a good chance it was switched to a full sequel.
  • EPD Kyoto is definitely involved as lead studio: some new games include skateboard and something with fast movement sports.
  • Should release around Fall. August to September.

  • There was a prototype at EPD of Star Fox during the Switch 1 era. I think that was the multiplayer portion you are seeing in the finished game.
  • Takaya Imamura is not involved in this game. He is a fan of both the movie and game character designs, but it looks like Nintendo did not contract him to work on the game.
  • I suspect there are several developers involved here: EPD being involved in various aspects along with others.

Sakamoto is the one I'm worried about — his teams have been so inconsistent, his counterparts mostly gone, and many of the marquee proteges kind of disappeared or were transferred elsewhere.

It's really only Takehiko Hosokawa who is only maybe 10 years younger than I can confidently say will continue the legacy.

His final credit is as producer on Super Mario Bros. Wonder – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Meetup in Bellabel Park.

This is a pretty big deal in my opinion. I don't think Nintendo will be the same without him.

Remember that Minegishi was listed as EPD7 back in 2022 interview when Tomodachi Life was in development.

We may see Switch Sports or Rockstock moved to Production Group 1 for example. We have to collect more info to see how the EPD group assignments changed.

  • Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream
    • Developer: Nintendo EPD Production Group 7
    • Release: Spring 2026, Switch 1
    • Notes: Definitely an inhouse game since it is modulesystem engine. Only question is whether it is EPD7 (or if it's been reorganized) and if there is a familiar or unfamiliar assist developer.
    • Star Fox
      • Developer: ????
      • Release: Summer 2026, Switch 2
      • Notes: A couple of different possibilities. Could be EPD/SRD and another assist developer. Could be mainly developed outside at Velan Studios. I'm leaning towards EPD lead with examples like Donkey Kong and Pikmin.
    • Rhythm Heaven Groove
      • Developer: Nintendo EPD Production Group No.04 / Indies Zero
      • Release: Summer 2026, Switch 1
      • Notes: Most likely the same combination team EPD/Indies Zero we saw on Big Brain Academy / NES Remix.
    • Switch Sports for Nintendo Switch 2
      • Developer: Nintendo EPD Production Group No.04
      • Release: Summer 2026, Switch 2
      • Notes: Definitely an EPD game since the patents already show EPD programmers behind some of the new mini games. Could Eighting assist on some of the mini games?
    • The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 2026
      • Developer: Nintendo EPD Production Group No.03 / ??
      • Release: Fall 2026, Switch 2
      • Notes: Could resemble the structure of the Champion of Ballads DLC where still EPD/SRD/Monolith but more Monolith heavy. Also probably more art outsourcing to outside devs. Something tells me that EPD/SRD programmers will be involved on maybe using some of the initial engine that the next Zelda will use — ala Wind Waker HD. Or it could just resemble the way EPD produced and directed the Grezzo Zelda games.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGS_M2S6kJQ

    Miyamoto seems to be leading a team meeting with 6 other staff member. Some are definitely EAD/R&D2 and maybe some SRD. (Around 3:43)

    You can spot Koji Kondo, Takao Sawano from Nintendo. There's two other men whose faces you can see but I'm not sure who they are.

He's known to be at Nintendo since at least 2008, which lines up with the timeframe.

    Also mentioned in the sound banks is a "FUJITA" for sound effects. I can't find anyone named Fujita who has previously worked on sounds for a Nintendo game, so I'm leaving this out.
