Makes sense. Tantalus has been porting games to Nintendo consoles since the Wii U launch (Funky Barn and Mass Effect 3).

I find it strange that Nintendo has been so close-lipped about which studio has been making which game lately. We didn't know who made Princess Peach Showtime until the info was leaked two months before launch.

I also noticed that it is harder to find what studio is behind a game. Could not find what studio created Another Code Recollection until days before release. (it was Arc System Works btw)
