The company announced in July that it planned to acquire Japanese CG company Dynamo Pictures, with the intention being to acquire 100% of its outstanding shares and make it a wholly owned subsidiary. Nintendo said that following the acquisition it planned to rename the company Nintendo Pictures Co, Ltd, at which point it would “focus on development of visual content utilising Nintendo IP”. The deal was expected to close today, and has done so, hence the launch of the new Nintendo Pictures website.

Though the initial instinct would be to assume this acquisition will result in more Nintendo animated movies and TV series in the future, it should be noted that Dynamo also specialises in developing visual content for games too. The company worked on the CG in Final Fantasy XIII-2, and has provided motion capture for such titles as Death Stranding, Nier Replicant, Monster Hunter World and Persona 5. It has also worked with Nintendo in the past. The company helped with the CG cutscenes in Metroid: Other M, and produced a series of Pikmin ‘short movies’ in collaboration with Shigeru Miyamoto for display on Wii U and 3DS.

The planned rebranding to Nintendo Pictures is not to be confused with Nintendo Studios, which recently appeared on copyright listings for the upcoming Super Mario animated movie. Although the listings didn’t give any further information, it appears that Nintendo Studios may be a new subsidiary set up by Nintendo to handle future visual entertainment such as movies or TV shows. Similar subsidiaries include Marvel Studios LLC and PlayStation Studios LLC, which are subsidiaries of Walt Disney Studios and Sony Interactive Entertainment respectively. 1 Comment Related VGC Content Jack Black suggests that the Mario movie features musical sections4 days ago Watch the first trailer for The Super Mario Bros Movie4 days ago The Five Nights at Freddy’ s Movie gets its third director5 days ago A Nintendo Direct for The Super Mario Bros Movie is coming this week6 days ago Popular Now on VGC1 Harley Quinn voice actor criticises Chris Pratt Mario casting ‘ It should be Charles’ 2 Phil Spencer could be teasing Xbox s game streaming device in a new office photo3 Modern Warfare 2 will seemingly require a phone number like Overwatch 24 Interview How PlatinumGames is betting on Nintendo expertise to shape its future5 Platinum thinks hiring of Nintendo veteran can take the companies relationship to the next level More Video Game News10 Tattoo artist successfully sues 2K for replicating their designs on a WWE 2K wrestlerThey argued 2K didn't have permission to include Randy Orton's tattoos in the game1 week ago10 Comments1 US PlayStation shipments were reportedly up 400% last monthPS5 supply appears to be increasing as Christmas approaches1 hour ago1 Comment Overwatch 2 servers down for some as Blizzard removes two heroes temporarilyThe game's rocky launch has caused much fan frustration2 hours ago12 Halo s developer is reportedly switching to Unreal EngineHalo Infinite has suffered numerous delays and cuts, which are potentially partly due to its tech1 week ago12 CommentsBy commenting on this article you agree to adhere to VGC’s community guidelines.
