A result of Nintendo’s company-wide restructuring
Nintendo subsidiary Brownie Brown announced today on itshomepagethat the dev house is undergoing some changes, which includes a new company name: “1-UP Studio.” The old Brownie Brown page will remain active until June 23, 2025, but exactly how else the studio has been affected is still unknown.
You may best remember Brownie Brown, formed in 2000, as one of the co-developers ofMother 3. In addition, the handheld-focused studio has contributed to twoManagames,Blue Dragon Plus,Super Mario 3D Land, and the recent Japanese 3DS hitFantasy Life.
This is the first of many changes we’ll be seeing as part ofNintendo’s company-wide restructure. Perhaps Nintendo wants 1-UP to work more closely on core Nintendo properties, or maybe 1-UP will be charged with developing new IPs. I guess we’ll find out soon!
