Through the team’s formal establishment has only just happened, it has been around for a while, and has provided development support on a number of major Nintendo releases in the last decade, including the likes of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS, Mario Kart Tour, Mario Kart 7, Mario Sports Superstars, and ARMS.
