Title: Hirofumi Matuoka leaves Nintendo
Post by: MEGAߥTE on November 19, 2005, 10:16:21 PM

N-Sider reports (http://www.n-sider.com/newsview.php?type=story&storyid=1545) that Hirofumi Matsuoka, creator of the Super Mario Land, Wario Land, Mario Paint, Wario Ware, Metroid, Kid Icarus, and Balloon Fight series and games, has left Nintendo to join another former Nintendo employee, Hirokazu "Hip" Tanaka at Creatures, Inc.  Of course, Creatures is highly associated with Nintendo and Pokemon, so he's likely to continue work on Nintendo games.

Crap, there goes the chance for Mario Pant DS. I at least hope there'll be some kind of animation game for when you're bored.

Just cause he's not around anymore doesn't mean Mario Paint DS can't still be a reality. His company could potentially develop MPDS without his consent.
