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.

However, its primary focus remains the management of the Kirby franchise.

Kenji Miki was uncredited developer? http://kyoto-report.wikidot.com/forum/t-17184625/r-d2-developed-super-mario-bros-kenji-miki-was-uncredited-de Research Tue, 12 Aug 2025 15:57:14 +0000 Kyoto Ninja 1340009 This was part of some 1986 Japanese broadcast where the host goes looking for "Mario's father". At the end of the video he winds up at Nintendo's Kyoto HQ and told to head to the "R&D2 Department" to find Mario's father.

Once there he first bumps into an unnamed (hard to identify the developer) who points the host in the direction of the development team.

Then, we see 3 development staff from "R&D2" and Mario pop up.

Takashi Tezuka, Koji Kondo, and Kenji Miki

Out of the three, it is Kenji Miki who assumes the father of Mario and begins to answer questions about his origin to the host.

Mario's Father Japanese Video
Which leads to some questions:

1. Was R&D2 the official developer of Super Mario Bros. and the R&D4/EAD official group formalize shortly after?
2. Kenji Miki, who was a key development staff in early Nintendo but there was so much information missing on him — this would link him to being a core developer on Super Mario Bros.

  • Recruitment, Jan 2016 - Nintendo (EPD Tokyo) places recruitment ad for level designers for an undefined 3D action game (with obvious 3D Mario universe hints).

- 2017

  • Releases Super Mario Odyssey (NS1)
  • EPD Tokyo simultaneously works on Captain Toad 3DS port. It seems like they asked NST to port the title for 3DS right after Mario Maker team asked them to port Mario Maker to 3DS.
  • EPD Tokyo decides to also port Captain Toad to Switch mainly because of "how fun the co-op multiplayer feature" is on Odyssey. This straight port with one new level (New Donk City) looks like it was done in-house by a very small staff (2 Tokyo programmers) and a few Tokyo/1-UP planners and artists.

-2018

  • Releases Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker (NS1, 3DS)
  • Prototype team ("team banana") begins work on Donkey Kong (Leads: Yusakawa, Tanaka, Murata)
  • Prototype team ("team mushroom") begins work on Bowser's Fury (Leads: Hiratake, Ando, Yoshida)
  • NST works on DLC levels for Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker

-2018/2019?

  • Technology / Port team begins work on 3D All-Stars (front end menu and porting Galaxy, some involvement with Sunshine) and 3D World (Hayashida, Matsuda, Kirihara, and Hishinuma [last game at EPD Tokyo before leaving]).

2019

  • Recruitment, Oct 2019 - Nintendo (EPD Tokyo) places recruitment ad for level designers for an undefined 3D action game (with obvious 3D Mario universe hints).

2019/2020

  • Bowser's Fury team ends work and brings in Nintendo Software Technology to finish a smaller concept version game from the WIP prototype.
  • Donkey Kong team shifts some staff and faces some struggles?
  • Releases Super Mario 3D All-Stars (NS1)

2020

  • "Banana Team" continues working on 3D Donkey Kong
  • "Mushroom Team" begins working on next concept of 3D Mario (post Bowser's Fury prototype)
  • Recruitment, Aug 2020 - - Nintendo (EPD Tokyo) places recruitment ad for level designers for an undefined 2D action game (with obvious 2D Mario universe hints).

2021

  • Releases Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury (NS1)

2025

  • Releases Donkey Kong: Bananza (NS2)

Nintendo EPD programmed (based on the patents which seem to directly link EPD programmers to several of the mini-games or experiences in this product).

Nintendo Cube and CAP Production cooperation, based on how they list their involvement in the website. They don't take credit for mini-game creation (which they would) but rather cooperation.

No T's Music involvement, which is a staple of music composition for NCube games.

This should be Nintendo EPD programmed the mini-games ; most likely NCube and CAP Production created the hub world used in the game. Also likely that they did art or art support on some of the mini-games.

  • Tomodachi Life gets a sequel after nearly 11 years of people clamoring for Nintendo to make a follow-up game, called Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream. It does look very different from the original game, so I'm not sure how much I'll enjoy it, but I am holding out hope that it'll be reasonably good.
  • Rhythm Heaven is also finally returning, with the new installment being titled Rhythm Heaven Groove.

Honestly, definitely one of the most surprising Directs in recent memory. I honestly thought both of these franchises were dead in the water and Nintendo wouldn't even touch them with a ten-foot pole, but evidently I was wrong. So, Kyoto Ninja, it seems like your predictions of a Tomodachi Life and Rhythm Heaven sequel that you've maintained finally came true after all.

I suppose the only problem with the aforementioned games is that they won't release until 2026, so we still have quite a long time to wait.

"Sugiyama: No, I worked on a lot of the very first Famicom games. I joined Nintendo the same year as Yoshio Sakamoto."

What we know

  • SimCity (1991) - Co-Director
  • Pilotwings (1990) - Director
  • Super Mario Bros. 2 USA (1988) - CG Designer
  • Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic (1987) - CG Designer
  • Zelda II: Adventure of Link (1987) - Co-Director
  • Ice Climber (1985) - CG Designer
  • Clu Clu Land (1984) - CG Designer
  • Pinball (1984) - CG Designer
  • Baseball (1983) - CG Designer

This means he joined Nintendo in 1982 (instead of what we originally calculated in 1983). Besides his admission on working on "a lot of the very first Famicom games" he also probably worked on some arcade or game&watch titles since Famicom development didn't begin until 1983.

One problem is that his name doesn't exactly check out with any of his history. There is he likelihood that he used a different first name in the West (not Yasuhiro) but I can't find a last name Yamada to any of his work experience —- especially Insomniac where he claimed to be a game designer.
