Playing Mario Tennis GBC again for the first time as an adult and it's still every bit as good as I remember it.

I wish so hard we would get an RPG story mode in Mario sports games again. Looking back at Mario Tennis, it's not even anything super elaborate, the world is comprised of like 6 locations total? As someone who never really cared much for multiplayer (especially online), I simply have no incentive to play these games anymore despite loving the gameplay.

I played it again a few weeks ago and thought the same thing. I'd really like to see the next Mario Tennis take on some of that DNA and atmosphere.

If I'm remembering correctly TCG Live is developed internally by TPCi so there's that. TPC does not have an internal game development team as far I know.

It seems to me that TCG Live is being developed with DeNa, with whom TPC has just set up a joint venture. I think MetaLord may be talking about something else, and I'd be very curious to know more.

That's TCG Pocket. TCG Live is the successor to TCG Online. It's basically a way to play the trading card game online.
 
you right,its old news, they already released a game, TCG live, but they have a division called Game Studio and seem to be growing fast and hiring experienced staff, even from nintendo and working on multiple games

"I started at Pokémon as a Senior Producer working on one title with a team of two. Since then, my responsibilities have grown with the studio. Today, I'm pleased to be working on several titles within the Game Studio and leading nearly a dozen producers."

  • Job Title: Technical Designer
  • Job Summary: The Technical Designer role at The Pokémon Company International will work on the release and development pipeline for multiple products to ensure rapid and stable development. This role will work across development groups to develop automation, tooling and continuous integration processes that will support the life of our products from pre-production to post launch content. These live products will be maintained post launch through multiple content releases which requires multiple tools and resources and a tight collaboration across disciplines.

Funny, Game Studio is the name of a Japanese dev who I think are owned by the owners of Tri-Ace, but most relevant in my research actually have origins with .. Marigul! Explains why Noise (Custom Robo) have been their support dev on recent DQ spin-offs, specifically Dragon Quest of the Stars and Adventures of Dai.

TPCi making games is a smart move given Game Freak will have to let their games cook for longer. not because of skill, but because they're now working with PS4+ hardware. they are not making games in 3 years unless they are still at the fidelity of 3DS games

This sounds more akin to what the engineers at NTD (Nintendo Technology Development Inc.) do at Nintendo rather than dedicated game studios. Essentially tech and development coordination.

interesting thing about this job listing is that this job in particular has heavy emphasis on TCG Live. but the position would naturally go to other games. same with the Technical Artist role

interestingly, it'll all be in Unity. probably to keep the knowledge pool consolidated

I am glad that we are seeing more Youtubers look into Nintendo development process, as there's far too many Nintendo focused Youtubers who keep asking "where's X franchise?", "why isn't Nintendo making X?", or like complaining about the existence of a franchise as if it's taking resources away from a different IP, even though an entire separate team works on that. The answers are a lot more apparent if you have an idea of what teams work on what franchises.

Not all the video are super in-depth, but it's nice to see more of a spotlight on it.
