Nintendo EAD Tokyo has two teams.  EAD Tokyo 1 and EAD Tokyo 2.  EAD Tokyo made the incredibly underrated DK Jungle Beat, then went on to develop Mario Galaxy.  EAD Tokyo 2 handled Galaxy 2, 3D World, Captain Toad, and Land.

Since developing Galaxy, EAD Tokyo 1 worked with Greezo on the remakes for Majora's Mask and Ocarina of time, although I doubt their input could have been that great since the game runs on essentially the same engine as the N64 game.  So, I dunno what they're up to.

Oh wow this is pretty good news if Nintendo has two teams that can make high quality Mario games! However, it may be possible that both EAD teams that made Galaxy 2 and 3D World had some of the people who worked on Galaxy 1 and those went into EAD 2 to develop Galaxy 2 and 3D World. Nevertheless, its interesting that EAD Tokyo hasn't really made something new yet!

EAD Tokyo, as a whole, has about 100 employees.  The two groups aren't technically separate entities.  I'm sure there are a lot of people going between both groups.  But, yeah, it's still weird that one of the groups hasn't made anything in a while.
