Wikipedia says 145 employees so 70% would be 101-102.


He's Guesstimating, and we dont know how many employees worked on the game + how long it took for development

Hope you're not reffering to me there.

And I have worked in Japanese game studios for the past 15 years, I've a solid grasp on project management and average salarys thanks.
As for development time, it's roughly 27 months from the point they started to now, give or take 2-3 months, unless of course you think what they showed at last years e3 was from a week old build.

Wouldn't be more than 3 years because it would overlap their other projects, wouldnt be less than 2 because the studio was referencing the build ID in communications with Nintendo on the SDK as early as May 2013.
