Template:Nihongo foot formerly known as Nd Cube and later NDcube, is a Japanese video game developer and a subsidiary of Nintendo headquartered in Tokyo with an additional office in Sapporo. They are best known as the developers of the Mario Party series since Mario Party 9 when they took over the series from the original developer Hudson Soft.
History
The company was founded on March 1, 2000, as Nd Cube, as a joint venture between Nintendo and the biggest advertising firm in Japan called Dentsu, hence the "ND" (Nintendo-Dentsu) in the name. Nintendo had 78% of the shares of the company at the time, while 13.3% of the shares were owned by Dentsu and the rest of the 8.7% were owned by other shareholders.[1]
In the years after Mario Party 8's 2007 release, many employees from Hudson Soft migrated to Nd Cube[2] including former Hudson Soft president Hidetoshi Endo who became president of Nd Cube around 2009.[3]
In 2010, Nintendo decided to buy out the company's shares from Dentsu and the other shareholders, being then the major shareholder on the company, with its changing from 78% to 96% initially, to 97% in 2015, and since 2023, to 99% of the shares.[4][5][6]
In 2012, Nd Cube rebranded to NDcube. In the same year, the company released Mario Party 9 for the Wii — the company's first Mario Party.[7][8]
In 2019, the director of the Mario Party series from Mario Party 6 to Super Mario Party, Shuichiro Nishiya, replaced Hidetoshi Endo as the company's president. Endo had served as president of NDcube for almost ten years.[9][3]
In 2024, NDcube rebranded to Nintendo Cube.[10]
