Yep we can expect more of ND Cube in the future

Nintendo has a knack for churning out evergreen titles for its platforms, and the publisher appears to have scored yet one more success with ND Cube's Wii Party. Since launching in Japan during the first week of July, Wii Party has consistently placed near the top of Media Create's weekly sales chart, having sold close to 125,000 units during the stat-tracking firm's most recent accounting.

Wii Party has given Nintendo cause to celebrate.

Nintendo has apparently taken note of ND Cube's success with Wii Party. As part of a recent Iwata Asks feature, the publisher revealed that it has acquired a 96 percent stake in ND Cube as of August 2010. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Well i thought WP was in house.

“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

Glad to hear they're expanding more. Although I believe NDCube's worked so closely with Nintendo for so long that it's more of a formality than anything.

Nintendo already owned a sizable share of NDCube. All they did was buy out their partner. NdCube developed the FZero games for the GBA, Maximum Velocity and GP Legends. There may be another title but I can not think of it right now.

If Nintendo is successful at the moment, it’s because they are good, and I cannot blame them for that. What we should do is try to be just as good.----Laurent Benadiba

I will miss Mario Party. But, if Wii Part is going to do so much better, and it will with "Wii" and "Party" in the title, then Nintendo really has no other choice but to stick with it. I'm just wondering what they will do next gen. Will they keep the Wii name now that so many people are familiar with it, or rename there console again. I think we will see what Nintendo did with the NES. It was a huge success so they kept the name, almost. Maybe Wii HD/ Super Wii. Then Wii Party can make a come back next gen too! I will never forget Mario Party though. lol

Nintendo still doomed?
