Hayashi’s New Studio Announced at Nintendo Switch 2 Conference

[deathofaninja]

‘AAA Games’ is the name of Hayashi’s new video game development studio and as FSD predicted over a year ago the studio will be used for the creation of video game collaborations with AAA companies such as Nintendo, Sony and EA. The first game under the studio umbrella will be Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, and there is also a new edition of Wild Hearts coming out exclusively to the Nintendo Switch 2.

This announcement should be seen as good news for Team NINJA players as it clears their project table from the possibility of working with Nintendo, Square Enix and other companies that were taking up Team NINJA’s time. Should be considered great news for Omega Force fans as well seeing as how they were getting backed up by Dynasty Warrior-likes for the benefit of other game conglomerates promoting their active franchises while they work for years on inhouse productions.

Nobunaga's Awakening Complete Edition was announced alongside these other games for Nintendo Switch 2, but this is not a AAA Games Studio production.

This is a belated April Fool's joke, right? He didn't unironically call the studio AAA Games?

Seems like good news over all, but yeah I agree that's a... very... uninspired name, lol.

Maybe it’s a placement title but it does keep the studios they currently have organized to say the least.

 

[HHH816]

yeah, that's the name

Koei Tecmo’s new AAA Studio is a way for it to try new things without disappointing Team Ninja and Omega Force fans - AUTOMATON WEST

Koei Tecmo sheds light on the purpose of its new "AAA Studio" and how it differs from the company's other development studios.

Just as I predicted when the studio was first rumored.

On the other hand, “Since AAA Studio doesn’t yet carry a particular color or brand identity, we can pursue the kind of interesting games we believe in. Then, if the players end up enjoying and embracing those games, the studio may naturally establish its own brand identity. That’s what we’re going for,” Hayashi explains.

Looks like they're going for new IP
