Or how little they advertised Metroid: Other M, Hyrule Warriors and Super Smash Bros 4...
lol. They were literally the first studio I thought of for this (although Criterion of old would have been nice). I hope Nintendo is paying attention.
For those talking about Sega.
Amusement Vision, the Sega division that handled F-Zero GX, as well as the good Super Monkey Ball games and a bunch of other nice games, is now defunct, so unfortunately Nintendo would have no reason to go back to Sega for a sequel.
Ward did leave EA because being relegated to work on handmedowns fucking sucks.

Glad it didn't happen. F-ZERO needs to be made by Japanese who know about arcade finesse.
EAD 1 should be the one doing it.
This happened before that.He might have turned it down for the extremely sour experience he had on that need for speed game on wiiu
Here's a flowchart I made of Sega's internal development team movements and naming schemes:
Your chart is missing the staff merging from United Game Artists into Sonic Team. But I've still saved this for later.
