A uncommon instance of an “acqhire” from Nintendo, since they are going in-house.
Nintendo has made a small acquisition to be able to create an in-house visible content material creator.
In an announcement on the corporate’s investor web site launched this morning (NA time), Nintendo introduced the acquisition of Dynamo Photos Inc.: when the deal closes (anticipated in October), the corporate can be renamed “Nintendo Photos Co. Ltd.” and concentrate on enhancing “the planning and manufacturing construction of visible content material within the Nintendo group”.
Dynamo’s earlier work with Nintendo included being part of the “Challenge M” workforce for Metroid: Different M, in addition to aiding with the Pikmin Quick Films that launched alongside the unique launch of Pikmin 3 in 2013 (2014 outdoors Japan). Lately, they’ve centered on CG and modeling work for anime collection.
