Who developed this Nintendo game?

a.k.a. 'Pig Medal'.

The gameplay gave me a Chee-Chai Alien or Chalien (developed by Creatures) series vibe, because similar pigs with big noses appears in that series, but I know that's no reason to assume Creatures played a role in the development.

Edit: The producer is 'Nakamura'. Does that ring any bells?

Edit 2: Perhaps Masahiro Nakamura. He would be a Nintendo producer, but who's the director? I know you may have a producer from Nintendo overseeing the development, and a director from the actual development company.

Nakamura. I can't put my finger on it. It has to be a Nintendo producer correct?

"Game can only be downloaded until August 31st, and takes 101MB of free space on your console/HDD. It's apparently developed by Nintendo themselves, and it's based on the Nintendo Web Framework (and jQuery)."

I was thinking Masahiro Nakamura or Hajime Nakamura were promoted to producer for this project? Both long time EAD Technology programmers.

It's apparently a very heavy tech related mini-game if you think about it, (SUICA card ready, Nintendo Web Framework, etc). So it sounds likely it's an internal Nintendo project.

It would be interesting to get more staff details.

By the way,

It is Daisuke Nakamura, of Nintendo Co., Ltd. The Producer of Buda Metal. I just translated his Miiverse profile.

The only problem is that there are two Daisuke Nakamura's at Nintendo.

Daisuke Nakamura (1), Joined in 2000. He was a programmer at EAD (Luigi's Mansion, Super Mario Sunshine). Then went on to work at the Network Division of Nintendo where he programmed servers for a lot of Pokemon games.

Daisuke Nakamura (2), Joined in 2006. He worked in the Purchasing Department for Manufacturing Division.

It is probably the first one.
