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.[2] The company is based in Tokyo but also has a secondary office in Sapporo. Nintendo Cube is responsible for developing the Mario Party series starting with Mario Party 9, although its first developed game since becoming a subsidiary of Nintendo is 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.[3] 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.
