'''{{wp|Nintendo Cube|Nintendo Cube Co., Ltd.}}''' (formerly '''Nd Cube Co., Ltd.''' and '''NDcube Co., Ltd.''') is a Japanese video game developer and subsidiary of [[Nintendo]]. It was originally founded on March 1, 2000, as a joint venture between Nintendo and advertising firm Dentsu (the "Nd" in the former name reflecting this). Dentsu's stake was bought out by Nintendo in 2010, and Nintendo now owns 99% of Nintendo Cube.<ref>https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Iwata-Asks/Iwata-Asks-Wii-Party/Iwata-Asks-Wii-Party/1-A-Team-with-Experience-Making-Party-Games/1-A-Team-with-Experience-Making-Party-Games-224354.html</ref> The company is based in Tokyo but also has a secondary office in Sapporo. Nintendo Cube is responsible for developing the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]] starting with ''[[Mario Party 9]]'', although its first developed game since becoming a subsidiary of Nintendo is ''{{wp|Wii Party}}''.

By April 2006, many of Nd Cube's employees at the time had moved to other companies, including Nintendo and [[Square Enix]]. At a later point, however, several former employees of [[Hudson Soft]], and Nintendo-Hudson joint venture Monegi Inc., moved to the company, mainly various staff that had worked on the Hudson-developed ''Mario Party'' games, including former president Hidetoshi Endo, who became the president of NDcube.

As of June 2019, Hidetoshi Endo resigned, and the company's chief creative director [[Shuichiro Nishiya]] replaced him as president. On September 1, 2024, the company was renamed Nintendo Cube.<ref>{{cite|date=September 1, 2024|url=https://www.nintendo-cube.co.jp/|title=商号（社名）変更に関するお知らせ|publisher=nintendo-cube.co.jp|language=ja|accessdate=September 2, 2024|archive=https://web.archive.org/web/20240902134547/https://www.nintendo-cube.co.jp/}}</ref> As part of the rebranding, the company adopted a new logo based on that of Mario Club and [[1-UP Studio]] with an identical font, albeit with their pre-established blue color scheme instead of red or green, respectively.
